I upgraded to KDE 4.13.0 and when I start Kontact I get:

Code: Select all

Application: Kontact (kontact), signal: Segmentation fault

This is hard on two systems. Kontact and KDEPIM are still at 4.4.11 so I guess a fix is unlikely.

I have just discovered the individual apps (kmail, kaddressbook) start OK, so it is not a complete disaster!

Can you check if everything is installed correctly? Looks like a plugin in Kontact is making it crash.

I have a Gentoo system and the entire KDE source was recompiled successfully. KDEPIM itself was not recompiled, perhaps I should try that, but all the plugins start by themselves.

Try refreshing PIM just in case: follow up here on your results.

I recompiled Kontact and now it starts and display the introduction page, but when I click on an icon on the navigation toolbar I get:

which is in the same library module but called from a different place. From the backtrace it looks like it's in Kontact itself, not one of the plugins.

Please post a bug on bugs.kde.org including the full backtrace, so that the issue can be pinpointed and fixed.
