kile keeps crashing during opening certain beamer LaTeX files

[Katsudon]

Binary package hint: kile

Kubuntu 8.04.1
kile: 1:2.0-1

kile crashes immediately after opening an innocent (beamer) LaTeX file. Some files open fine, some files don't.

Kile has been running for several months without any troubles. No new packages were installed on the day the problem occured. The problems remains when logged in as a different user with a clean KDE environment.

Reinstalling the system did not help, but removal of ~/.kde/share/config/kilerc helped (at least for a moment).

Hello,

is this the same as http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162861 ?

If yes it is fixed in kile 2.0.1.

Bye,

Well, it looks a lot like http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162861
there is a small difference with how my minimal crashing file looks like, but probably that's the same bug. Is there some suggested place to look for binaries of kile 2.0.1 in Ubuntu?

[Katsudon (katsudon)]

I do not know if this is the suggested solution, but installing a package kile (and its dependencies) from Debian Lenny solved the problem, at least at the first sight. Are there some better solutions for installing kile 2.0.1 under Hardy Heron?

[Stefan Kottwitz (stefan.k)]

I can confirm this bug with Kile 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 8.04. Opening this minimal example causes Kile to close immediately.. Even if Ubuntu 8.10 should be using Kile 2.0.1 it should be considered to use this update with 8.04 LTS too, it provides some fixes, see changelog.
For now I will set the status to confirmed.

Fixed by kde4 version included in jaunty.
