Hi,

after upgrading a running KDE 4.8 installation kwin crashes with
following errors :

mime@zsap4044:~> less .xsession-errors
...
kwin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kwin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN11KActivities10ControllerC1EP7QObject

My box is running :

OpenSuSE 12.1
KDE is from http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSE_12.1/

Error happens happens with NVidia and Nouveau.

KDE 4.8 was already running.

Any idea?

Thanks for help.

Missed dependencies!
