[SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

Hi!

Yesterday, I updated my system, and installed the KDE 4.8.
Today, when I started my computer, the KDE was with a grey wallpaper and big red squares, showing that the widgets was crashed too.

I couldn't take screenshots, but I took some photos to show you. When I had the KDE 4.7, everything worked perfectly.
How can I fix it? Should I downgrade to KDE 4.7? How to do it?

Thanks!
Sorry the bad english.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

Last time I checked, KDE 4.8 is in testing.  In fact it just moved from kde-unstable.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

You can try to disable the effects. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Composite

Or if you are using some widgets from aur, make sure they are updated for 4.8 series. if not remove them.

Also, in the last shot it says something, are you kind to translate into english!? smile

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

You could also try installing kde-extragear-plasmoids from the AUR

It means: "It's not possible to load the widget. It can't find the requested component."
I have a widget from AUR, the CWP, I'll try to remove!

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

Don't forget to install the official package -  extra/kdeplasma-addons-applets-icontasks. It's now a part of KDE.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

I removed the CWP, but nothing changes. I'll try to install kde-extragear-plasmoids and kdeplasma-addons-applets-icontasks.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

This happened to me as well, the thing was that I was playing around with the 4.7 PKGBUILDs to migrate to 4.8 by myself (Without depending on the Arch community + to learn more about PKGBUILDs), and I successfully compiled the packages, but I was mixing around kdelibs 4.8 with kdebase-workspace 4.7. This was the problem that gave me the same things you are mentioning. So make sure that your kdebase-workspace, kdelibs, and kdebase-runtime are all 4.8.

I checked them all with the pacman, and all are 4.8.0-1.

EDIT

I tried to reinstall the kde-base, and the terminal show me about 70mb to be downloaded, the update wasn't completed (weird, because yesterday, the terminal doesen't show me an error). I'll have to change the / partition size because it's full.

Well I'll be...
When I posted that, my mirror was still 4.7.  That was fast.

Thanks for the heads up, moving it back....   hmm

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

Try moving your ~/.kde4 -> ~/.kde4-bak and restart KDE.  Make sure that you updated all kdeplasma-addons-... to 4.8.  The problem could be some widgets that you were using were compiled against kdebase 4.7.x. through AUR or something....

EDIT: **sigh** I should learn to read... What Jokeboy said above...

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

I get similar problem... But I have pinpointed it to lib mix-up. I've made an test account and that one works fine.
But my main account, is completely "f$$ed-up". When I logged in in TWM as my user and ran dolphin to pin/point it further, I've seen this error while dolphin started to run:

dolphin (3875)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::checkVersion: Found version 204, expecting version 205 or higher.
/this goes on.../
then I get to this:
kbuildsycoca4: ERROR creating database '/var/tmp/kdecache-primoz/ksycoca3'! Impossible to open temporary file.
ERROR: Running KSycoca failed (and then the top part of the error repeats itself.

So is there something wrong with my kdecache? Is the symlink to libcoca4 wrong? Help would be good.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

Oh, I fixed it. It was what I thought it was... The permissions for kdecache-primoz were set wrong, I wasn't allowed to edit the contents of it.
I applied those changes, and it works now.
So Uchiha, hope that helps to solve your problem.
