[opensuse] Opensuse11: kwin crash on startup
After a recent update (I think it was in Friday's batch, which included a new version of qt), kwin crashes on startup. When started in a konsole, I have the following messages: KCrash: Application 'kwin' crashing... sock_file=/home/briot/.kde4/socket-lyon/kdeinit4__0 Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly.

The repositories I am using are the following for KDE: download.opensuse.org /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.0 Plasma is working fine (I have both plasmoids and panel). Last time I had such a problem I think it was related to plasma. Any hint on what I could do to both provide move useful feedback to the developers and fix this issue at least temporarily on my side (for instance how does one disable the 3d effects through a console) ?

After a recent update (I think it was in Friday's batch, which included a new version of qt), kwin crashes on startup.
In .xsession-errors, I see: QObject: Do not delete object, 'unnamed', during its event handler! QObject: Do not delete object, 'unnamed', during its event handler! kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty) Resource id: 0x1800003 QObject: Do not delete object, 'unnamed', during its event handler! kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi QObject: Do not delete object, 'unnamed', during its event handler! kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi QObject: Do not delete object, 'unnamed', during its event handler! kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi QObject: Do not delete object, 'unnamed', during its event handler! although I am not sure that it gives more info. Are there -debug packages for kwin ? The package I am using is from opensuse.org/repositories, and is: kde4-kwin-4.1.68-5.1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
[Replying to myself with solution]
Sorry for replying to myself. I figure this might be interesting for someone else at some point, maybe only to me in a few months time. I finally found the issue which appears to be a problem in the way my NVIDIA driver was installed. I usually recompile the driver myself after downloading the source package from nvidia.com, and apparently this time Yast2 went behind my back and reinstalled or updated the driver, so I ended up with a corrupt installation. Recompiling and restarting worked like a charm and I now again have access to kwin.
