[SOLVED] KDE Trunk build on Kubuntu Maverick 10.10 breaks stable KDE

[Guest]

I have recently done a fresh install of Kubuntu 10.10 Maverick on my laptop.

Being a contributor to KDE, I used to use KDE from trunk the most time earlier, so I tried to build it. After successfully building trunk, if I try to launch any KDE app from trunk, they are *really* unresponsive, as if they're doing some wait on some dbus response (my guess). The next time I logout/reboot, my KDE stable refuses to start, after I login to KDM, the KDE splash comes briefly, and the login screen comes back. Here is my ~/.xsession-errors http://pastebin.ca/1960681 .

I tried deleting KDE configuration from my home dir, and when that didn't work, I removed and recreated my home dir thinking to start afresh. Still KDE stable fails to load (KDE trunk loads, but its unusable, being largely unresponsive). I even tried to remove+recreate /tmp, but again, that didn't help.

I've reinstalled Kubuntu and again, it runs fine till the point I build and run just one app from trunk. Then it breaks again. I suspect trunk and stable conflict at some point in dbus, but I've no idea

Anyone else having this problem, or has any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks

Fixed the problem by settings $KDEVARTMP so that its different from the stable one. I have set it to /var/tmp/kde-trunk-cache-$USER
