<Closed> update 4.4.2 - Kate crashes when clicking on filename in dolphin

[oshunluvr]

From the KDE crash handler:

Executable: kdeinit4 (deleted) PID: 11632 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault)

Application: Kate (kdeinit4 (deleted)), signal: Segmentation fault
[Current thread is 1 (process 11632)]

Thread 1 (process 11632):
#0 0xf27a9f20 in ?? ()

This happens every time I click on a file in a dolphin window or right click and select open with kate.

Opening kate first, then clicking on file works.

Right clicking, then selecting "Other" and typing in kate works.

I can't find any obvious log messages relating to the crash.

Starting dolphin from cli then clicking produces same results, no error output.

Anything else I should try?

Hi

I'm running 9.10 with KDE 4.4.2 and can't reproduce your issue.

Having said that, after I upgraded (to 4.4.1 I think) I experienced a big slowdown at bootup - some 15-20 seconds for everything to load following the appearance of the desktop wallpaper.

I cured it by simply renaming the home/.kde/share/config folder. You might try that. Or you might try resetting Kate by renaming the kate files within that folder. I think that should be your first port of call if you haven't already done so.

Same here. KDE 4.4.2 on Karmic 9.10 (32-bit). No problem.

I'm using 9.10 64-bit.

Tried removing kate folder under ~/.kde/share/apps

Tried removing all files from ~/.kde/share/config that had any reference to kate

- but no changes.

kubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.

I had the same problem with Kate crashing. Last night I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it. Now it's working fine.

Last night my whole system did a hard lockup - no raw mode available even.

After reboot the crash has gone away for now....
