I just upgraded to the new kdelibs-2.1.1 and there appears to be a problem.
For some reason or another KDE is crashing with a SIGSEGV error everytime I
try to run an application with kdesu. The error message is:
0x40e861d9 in wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6
#0 0x40e861d9 in wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x40ef5f2c in __check_rhosts_file () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2 0x40632188 in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler () from /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.3
#3 0x40dfab68 in killpg () from /lib/libc.so.6
#4 0x56602474 in ?? ()
If I run kdesu konqueror from a term I get the following messages:
kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed
kdeinit: sending SIGHUP to children
kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children
kdeinit: Exit.
If, however, I su to root and try to run the same application it runs without
any problems.
Just to be safe I deleted my ~/.kde directory and the problem went away,
momentarily. I had to reboot and when I logged back on I started to receive
the same errors again when trying to run an app with kdesu. The only thing I
had changed were some desktop cosmetic preferences and some file associations.
