katapult freezes on opening and must be killed.

Binary package hint: katapult

Press alt spacebar and Katapult screen apears. It freezes in the middle of the screen until killed. Stopping KDE doesn't seem to affect it, but shutting down the system does kill it.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. With which version of katapult did you notice this issue? I was unable to reproduce it with version 0.3.1.4-0ubuntu5. Thanks in advance.

That's the version I have installed. Since I reported the bug, Katapult won't even load, so I don't know if it is a bug, if it somehow got corrupted during installation, or if something else is going on. Removing and reinstalling doesn't work.

Do you happen to be using beryl or compiz? If you start katapult in a terminal what information is returned? Thanks again.

Neither beryl or compiz are installed. Here's what shows up when I try to
start Katapult in Konsole:

X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167
  Major opcode: 146
  Minor opcode: 3
  Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167
  Major opcode: 146
  Minor opcode: 3
  Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
Ignored duplicate item: Scribus
Ignored duplicate item: Gnumeric Spreadsheet

I get the same information, however, (down to the "failed to open device"
part) if I open another program such as Kate or gnumeric in Konsole, but Kate
and gnumeric open and function anyway.

I have reinstalled katapult and it begins to load but doesn't open. I have
tried dpkg, apt and adept, but they all say that it has been successfully
loaded.

I don't know if it is equipment related or not. My computer is a Lenovo T-60
dual core, which can be a little squirrely at times. Katapult works with
Fiesty on my Dell Inspiron 8200.

Hi there! can you try deleting ~/.kde/share/config/katapultrc and restarting katapult? This should fix your problem
