Comment 29 for bug 985202

Hi Link, hi to all

I've been working in a DaaS with kubuntu 12.10 and i've sucessfully managed to resolve the kwin crashes with only replacing one lib.

It goes like this:

rm /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3
ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3.1.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3

This lib was retrieved following the steps above from Mr Pearson himself but instead of replacing all libs and debs, i extracted only libXfixes and replaced the lib - in my case i'm working with i386 kubuntu instead of amd64.

Hope this helps - i'm starting a new VM with kubuntu 12.04 and will test the same procedure but it works with 12.10 in a full blow desktop with libreoffice, firefox ESR and Thunderbird ESR.

regards,
