opensuse 11.1 with KDE 4.3.4

I switched from the KDE43 repository to KDE4:/STABLE:/ and updated my system. Everything was fine except for kontact. The first thing I noticed was that when I switched from mail to calendar, kontact crashed consistently. Then kontact wouldn't open after a crash. Trying to start it in a terminal resulted in an error message

DBus.Error.NoReply from kontact

After a fair amount of googling I came across this thread on kdepim-users

List: kdepim-users Subject: [kdepim-users] Kontact refuses to re-start From: Bob Smits <bob () rsmits ! ca> Date: 2009-11-30 17:49:08 Message-ID: 200911300949.12773.bob () rsmits ! ca

The upshot of this thread, resolved today, was that when kontact is closed with korganizer in month view, then kontact subsequently refuses to restart. A patch is listed in the thread.

2 points/questions:

1 I never had a problem leaving korganizer in month view when using the KDE43 repository. Problems only started after changing to KDE4:/STABLE:/ . Does this mean that KDE4:/STABLE:/ contains different versions from KDE43?

No, they should both be the same. I can't check because the OBS is down right now. The reasons for the crash are probably complex and you were lucky until now.

2 Not being able to leave korganizer in month view is a bit of a pain. Can we expect the patch to be applied anytime in the near future?

I'll check it out and apply it when the OBS is back up. Thanks for troubleshooting and finding the patch.

Will I'm not sure whether the patch has been implemented or not, but in any case I've come across something else affecting this behaviour. When I got a different crash on my system when trying to set my display using 'system settings - display', I noticed in the report that there were several references to qt. When I checked in yast what was being used, I noticed that there was a mismatch of versions, presumably from my pre-4.3.4 STABLE setup. I therefore went through all mentions of qt in yast and set them to use the versions from the STABLE repository. And, lo, I could switch to month-view again and leave it in place when closing kontact down (fingers crossed). Switching the versions also sorted out the crash when trying to use systemsettings-display. -- John johnmking_uk@yahoo.co.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
