Hi Lisandro, Thank you for your suggestions. Getting rid of the trailing semicolons removed a couple of the error lines, so the latest crashing reads:
$ kile kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_klauncher.so Connecting todeprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kded.so QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method KUniqueApplication::loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance() kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kbuildsycoca4.so kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(5452)/kdecore (services) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/shar/applications/kde/kresources.desktop" has Type= "Application" but also has a X-KDE-Library key. This works for now, but makes user-preference handling difficult, so support for this might be removed at some point. Consider splitting it into two desktop files. kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kconf_update.so Connecting todeprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) I'm not sure what to do about the DBus suggestion. Any references or suggestions are appreciated. I also tried running kile and then switching to tty1 (note - this a different time to the output above). The output reads (again, apologies if there are typos. My hand-writing isn't terrific): kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: kernel stack is corrupted in: c11754d [198.240609] [198.240698] Pid: 2637, comm: hald Tainted: P O 2.6.38-2-686 #1 [198.240739] Call Trace: [198.240780] [<c128e6e7>] ? panic+0x4d/0x141 [198.240821] [<c102fd2d>] ? __stack_chk_fail+0xd/0x11 [198.240860] [<c11f754d>] ? dev_ioctl+0x593/0x59b [198.240899] [<c11f754d>] ? dev_ioctl+0x593/0x59b [198.240939] [<c110fcc3>] ? security_sk_alloc+0xd/0xf [198.240981] [<c11ec37a>] ? sk_prot_alloc+0x7d/0xf5 [198.250020] [<c11e8290>] ? sock_ioctl+0x0/0x1dd [198.250060] [<c10c8f48>] ? do_vfs_ioctl+0x478/0x4c3 [198.250099] [<c11e9172>] ? sock_alloc_file+0x97/0xeb [198.250140] [<c10bc68f>] ? fd_install+0x1b/0x38 [198.250179] [<c11e91e1>] ? sock_map_fd+0x1b/0x20 [198.250218] [<c11e9afd>] ? sys_socket+0x42/0x56 [198.250257] [<c11e9b8b>] ? sock_ioctl+0x44/0x64 [198.250336] [<c1002f1f>] ? sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x28 Thanks, Alex _______________________________________________ pkg-kde-extras mailing list pkg-kde-extras@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-extras
