I updated to the latest KDE last night from openSuSE BuildService on a x86-64 machine via yast and seem to have picked up a bug doing it.
I met the same trouble in openSUSE 10.3 i386 environment on my laptop.
The problem was triggered by updating "kdelibs3*" packages to version 3.5.7-72.9 or later and I think it is related to the issue CVE-2008-1671:
I downgraded "kdelibs3*" packages to version 3.5.7-72.6, which I found in the "Updates" repository, and the problem isn't reproduced.
On the other hand, I have other desktops, on which I installed openSUSE 10.3 i386 and x86_64, and in those environments, the problem isn't reproduced by updating "kdelibs3*" packages to version 3.5.7-72.9 though. So, the problem was provided not only by updating "kdelibs3*" packages, but also by other conditions, which is not specified yet.
Thanks Satoru. I'm glad to know that I'm not going crazy. I will try and downgrade and see if I can cure this weird problem. Have a good evening.
Listmates, If you find yourself in the situation where only root can start kde on 10.3 x86-64 after update from kdelibs3-3.5.7-72.6 to kdelibs3-3.5.7-72.9, the force install of the kdelibs3-3.5.7-72.6 will correct the problem. No fix yet, but it is being worked. For more information See: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=391748. Workaround: From http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3, download or otherwise force install the following kdelibs3 packages: kdelibs3-32bit-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-arts-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-default-style-32bit-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-default-style-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-devel-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-doc-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm An rpm -Uvh --force kdelibs3*.rpm fixed the issue for me. As Satoru indicated, this affects some 10.3 x86-64 installs and not others. The only hint is a permission on an /opt/....dhcp.. file that SuSEConfig resets to 4755 on the force install. I have no idea if that is the problem, but that was the only thing remarkable during the downgrade. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
