Does anyone have any problems with Kontact crashing when you close it? I've had this problem with the rpm's shipped with SuSE 9.2 and the supplementary rpm's @ SuSE's ftp. -- Jake Sallee spark@breathdedeeply.com www.breathedeeply.com Registered Linux User #358012 http://counter.li.org

Do you have KNode in Contact? If so, does Kontact still crash if you remove KNode from Contact? Cheers, Leen

I don't know what Leen meant, of course, but KNode is a Usenet / Netnews client.

Ah, okay. Yes KNode was marked. I unmarked it but Kontact still crashes. Even if I click on my calendar or to-do list Kontact crashes. -- Jake Sallee spark@breathdedeeply.com www.breathedeeply.com Registered Linux User #358012 http://counter.li.org

I had a similar problem with SuSE 9.1 & KDE 3.3.1 just before I installed SuSE 9.2. I used the settings from my old .kde so as to save the hassles of configuring kmail and other programs. The problem occurred again with Kontact crashing on SuSE 9.2. I can't remember the solution I eventually used to resolve the problem. But I think I used either the original kaddressbookrc or kontactrc file of the SuSE 9.2 install to fix the problem. So I suggest that you create a new user and login as that user. Then log in as yourself and backup your ~/.kde directory. Then try using the various defaults from the new user to replace your original configuration files associated with contact one at a time, testing kontact each time to see which file resolves the problem. You use your backup of ~./kde to restore your original settings. Its a bit of a pain but you should be able resolve the problem using the above method. Best of luck. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

This is good advice, and could be one of my next steps. ;) But I wonder: does starting Kontact from a command prompt (konsole or xterm) reveal any error messages? Maybe there is a clue about what application causes the crash? Cheers, Leen

Thanks Graham. It ended up being the kmmainwin.rc file located in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail folder. For some reason it doesn't like moving from 9.1 to 9.2. -- Jake Sallee spark@breathdedeeply.com www.breathedeeply.com Registered Linux User #358012 http://counter.li.org

A Usenet News Reader.

No. I thought KNode *might* be the culprit because I noticed that somebody had a problem with KNode recently. Nevermind. ;) Cheers, Leen
