Hi, when I boot up KDE after a recent software update, I get numerous crashes in individual programs while booting. They also occur when I try to start individual programs after booting. Also, various functions fail to start and crash the program. That was the summary, here are the specifics. I am using openSuse 12.3, however I also have opensuse 13.1 milestone 2 installed. I first noticed this after a update to 13.1, and now it has also occurred in 12.3 about a week or so later. I am using KDE 4.10.3 "release 1". When I boot up I receive numerous notices that KNotify has crashed. After I boot, some kde programs crash when I try to start them, such as konsole or amarok. I have Firefox configured to play mpeg streams with npapi-vlc. However now when I click on a hyperlink to start the stream and play the stream with npapi-vlc, firefox crashes. My question is how to correct these problems? Is this a new problem, or is this something known which will be corrected if I wait for a further update from the programmers? Here is a readout from when I try to start amarok from console. amarok Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/56-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
