[opensuse-kde] Plasma crashes on log-in with latest kde4.0.64+ packages
Hi all, I got and installed the Suse 10.3 live CD with kde 4.01 packages. Then I changed the three relevant KDE repositories in Yast to KDE UNSTABLE, and switched off the old repositories. I left the basis repositories on 10.3 (so no FACTORY) After updating all packages, I got a working installation of KDE4.0.64 (there was only one conflict: kde fourinline, which I did not install) There is one problem: plasma crashes immediately when the desktop is started after I login. Applications work, but I cannot start plasma. I have a feeling that this somehow has to do with my switch to the repositories, and that it should be working. I also posted to the kde bug database using the wizard, perhaps this was not the good thing to do since it might be a Suse-related problem? Anyhow, thanks for any insights. Question: To what extend are the developers interested in my experiences with the KDE4.1 pre packages? I guess it is not interesting to post bug reports since this is a development release? John ps. When I start plasma from the command line I get the following messages: john linux:~> plasma Plasma crashed, attempting to automatically recover KCrash: Application 'plasma' crashing... sock_file=/home/john/.kde/socket-linux/kdeinit4__0 Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. plasma(5448): Communication problem with "plasma" , it probably crashed.

Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " Perhaps the problem is caused by my update from standard kde4.0 pakages to the packages from the UNSTABLE repository? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Hi John, That so very wrong idea. The only reson to publish development release is to get feedback about bugs from users. That feedback are bug reports. If you don't report bugs that you see, and everybody else does the same, how developer can see a bug. On his computer, with his software and hardware configuration, it can appear all fine. On your computer it can be different. -- Regards, Rajko.
