This looks like a Synaptiks/PyKDE4 compatibility issue rather than a hardware problem. The backtrace shows the crash occurring in `KAboutData::~KAboutData()` through `PyKDE4`, `sip`, and Python 2.7 while `kde-config-touchpad` is being loaded.
I would first try reinstalling the affected packages: ```bash sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --reinstall synaptiks python-kde4 python-sip ``` Then restart KDE and test again: ```bash kcmshell4 kde-config-touchpad ``` If it still crashes, please check the installed package versions with: ```bash apt-cache policy synaptiks python-kde4 python-sip kde-runtime ``` The version information would help determine whether this is a known package/version mismatch on Kubuntu 12.04.4. | https://www.centuryroofingspecialists.com/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284694 Title: Synaptiks in KDE Kubuntu 12.04.4 LTS crashed with segmentation fault when I open it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptiks/+bug/1284694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
