LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Strange behavior with kpatience

Kpatience fails to launch after recent upgrade. Launching through konsole gets this:

Code:

michael@darkstar:~$ kpat

kf.dbusaddons: DBus session bus not found. To circumvent this problem try the following command (with bash):

    export $(dbus-launch)

KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2

KCrash: Application Name = kpat path = /usr/bin pid = 7815

KCrash: Arguments: /usr/bin/kpat 

KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib64/libexec/drkonqi

file:///usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/ContextDrawer.qml:135:9: QML ListView: Binding loop detected for property "topMargin"

[1]  Exit 253                kpat



[2]+  Stopped                kpat

I tried the command suggested above:

Code:

export $(dbus-launch)

then issued kpat from konsole, and it came up.

After exiting, it reverts back to the errant behavior, requiring the export command again. It does not seem to affect any other kde apps yet.

Also, it will only launch from konsole. The desktop icon goes immediately to kde's bug reporting tool saying kpatience crashed.
