Display settings crashes system settings

[spidertaker23]

I installed kubuntu 8.04 via wubi ... I don't know if this is related to using wubi to install it or not. But I can't get into display settings ... therefore I can't change my screen resolution ... which makes it unusable.

I just got kubuntu 8.04 kde-4 installed on my GT5404 ... intel main board D945GCL.

When I go into system settings then > Display settings ... system settings crash.

Here is my log:

Re: Display settings crashes system settings

Sometimes installing the dev files helps (not saying it will, though); make sure you have the KDE4 dev libraries installed:

sudo aptitude install kdelibs5-dev

Then, try opening Display Settings again. Also, what video card do you have? Some vendors (such as Nvidia) provide utilities to assist you with setting your desired resolution.

Re: Display settings crashes system settings

Just so you know. I have the same problem, so you're not alone. I'm going to try to install the kdelibs5-dev like he suggests and will let you know if that fixes anything. I'm using rc2 kubuntu.
