me too, i had this problem just after the install of kde4...all went in crash, i restarted the X session and it last < 10 seconds..

berg (berg-foss) wrote :

I think that Xsession terminated before 10 seconds is other problem.

Here , gdm start normally and I can use the desktop. the only problem is that something at undergroud was crashed.

I was thinking and I see ,maybe, the origin the bug is that klauncher dont work well with applications removed. In my case , there is one icon at autostarter for ktorrent, and to make a "flesh" install of kde4 I removed all old kde and the ktorrent as depedend was removed too.

then I think that klauncher was not able survivor to "command not found"

Someone please provide a current trace (ensure that -dbg packages are installed).

As for those with crash on login: this is an issue in xorg, which causes it to crash when KWin tries to query opengl/composite functionality.

Confirming due to the multiple "me too"s in this report. Does this only happen when logging into Gnome after running a KDE 4 session or does it happen anytime you log into Gnome and have KDE 4 installed as well? I don't have this issue at all when switching between a KDE 4 and KDE 3 session.

I can easily reproduce the "klauncher[4754]: segfault at b7f4b2e4 eip b738725e esp bfffcc00 error 7" issue on qemu/kvm with fresh install without gnome:
1. /opt/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0 -m 512 kubuntu.qcow2
2. after login klaunch and xorg will crash
3. workaround:
reduce screen resolution, so i edited "sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and set
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"

Ubuntu with Gnome do not have this issue with biger resolution.

I will add the "me too" for the bug report, exactly the same as everyone else is reporting (to be specific about my case I mainly use KDE3, and I use KDM instead of KDM-KDE4, but I also have KDE4 installed and it was the first time I logged into GNOME (ubuntu-studio to be precise) since updating to try out Hardy).

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy Heron and recently installed SuperKaramba along with underlying base requirements of KDE4 core packages (via Synaptic). I didn't get any error when I logged into KDE4. However when I logged out and logged back in to GNOME I saw this application crash message.
