Hi. I have never been able to use the Screen Saver in the Desktop settings, as even clicking on a Screen Saver, crashes the whole Desktop Settings.

Here is what I get:

Code: Select all

Application: systemsettings (1.0)
KDE Platform Version: 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1) "release 228"
Qt Version: 4.6.2
Operating System: Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-default i686
Distribution: "openSUSE 11.2 (i586)"

-- Information about the crash:
<In detail, tell us what you were doing  when the application crashed.>

The crash can be reproduced every time.

Report to https://bugs.kde.org


Am I to assume that the user account for KDE Community Forums does not work for https://bugs.kde.org? I could not get it to work;

But if somebody knows how I can fix this problem, I would sure appreciate and love the feedback - maybe I need to delete one or more files and reboot, or relogin?

You need to make a new account at bugs.kde.org. I would run these commands:

sudo zypper ve
sudo zypper inr
sudo zypper dup

Thank You!

I'll create a new account at bugs.kde.org - I tried creating another user and attempted to use the Desktop Settings for Screen Saver, but it crashed also.

Hopefully this problem will get fixed.

Did you try running the commands I suggested?

TheBlackCat wrote:Did you try running the commands I suggested?

Yes, all three of them in the order you posted, but that did not solve the problem.

What repositories do you have enabled, and what ranks are they? What video card are you using and what driver are you using for the video card? The crash report seems to suggest this is a problem with x.

They are all ranked 99 - here they are:

What video card are you using and what driver are you using for the video card?

From the Yast - Hardware Information, I gather "agpgart-via", and card "AGP."

The crash report seems to suggest this is a problem with x.

Do you think I should do a reinstall from the opensuse CD, or a different install of a driver?

Thanks.

The contrib and KDE4 repos are not set to refresh automatically. Open up the yast repository configuration program and set the to refresh automatically. Then do "sudo zypper refresh -f" and try the commands I listed again. If that doesn't work I would ask at forums.opensuse.org, they are more likely to be able to help you there. Sorry.

Thanks for your input and suggestions... I did as you posted and the problem has not been solved. I see from the bugs.kde posts that a lot of other people are having the same problem with various linux distros.

I made a post in the forums.opensuse.org several days ago, but have not received a reponse at this point.

Thank you again.
