BTW if you installed 11.4, you don't really need KDE:Release:46, 11.4 came with 4.6.0.

This is a mild crash, caused by a failing assertion. Identify what the assertion is. Figure out why it was there. Look around the code to see whether it was a legitimate assertion, and if the code has any chance of keeping it as an invariant. Work your way up and around in order to spot the place when the assertion got invalid. Report to KDE developers. Fix the problem and submit a patch.

No, it's not wrong. Just because Plasma does not crash, it doesn't mean tha t other

software works fine. As soon as 260.xx hit the repos, other software became affected as

well. In my case Amarok and VLC.

Where is the bug report that states that the amarok version shipped with oS 11.3 crashes? vlc was not part of 11.3. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

11.3 crashes? vlc was not part of 11.3.

The bug is triggered inside glibc. glibc from 11.3 didn't receive a fix for the bug, so 11.3 is affected, no matter how you spin it.

What I'm stating is that 11.3 users that only use what 11.3 ships are not affected even though the bug might be in 11.3. So stay away from anything but the official repos if you still are using a 32-bit system and nvidia and you are fine. "Genuine" 11.3 users are not affected even though 11.3 might be affected.

Those are separate issues and since vlc is not shipped with openSUSE 11.3. Do you use the amarok version that comes with 11.3?

No, I use the version of Amarok that comes with 11.4 and it doesn't work with the 260.xx driver offered through the repositories and since some genius thought it would be a great idea to ship Phonon-GStreamer as default (which can't even seek!) one is forced to install Phonon-VLC if one ever wants to seek in a media file which means that all Phonon applications (eg. 11.4's Juk which in itself is not affected by the glibc bug) crash as soon as they launch. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

It seems not to crash plasma anymore. But 32-bit Nvidia people are reporting crashes with "Floating point exception" all over the god damn place...
