Hi,

Using KDE4.2 (beta2)...
I have the following problem.
Kontact crasches each time when i startup.

This is what i get;
Programma: Kontact (kontact), signaal SIGABRT

Thread 1 (Thread 0xb4af86c0 (LWP 6075)):
[KCrash Handler]

#13 0xb78c196c in Kontact::MainWindow::MainWindow () from /usr/lib/libkontactprivate.so.4
#14 0x0804acee in _start ()

Does anyone have an idea to resolve this?

Thx Karl,

Maybe there is a problem with the configuration file for kontact. Take a
look at the directory "$HOME/.kde/share/config". There should be a
file "kontactrc". Move that file to another location (e.g. your home
directory) as a backup in case there is some valuable setting in that
file. Then restart kontact - does it still crash? BTW: I can't check it
here because I'm not yet using KDE4.

it's hard to say without at least a little bit of a traceback, because
we can't see which kontact component is crashing. Look at the
traceback, see what programs are involved (most likely kmail, ime).
Then try starting that program on its own.

Well, the traceback was in the original mail. I didn't quote it because I
could only see kontact mentioned. I'd like to know why you think kmail
was the real culprit.

Please file a bug report on bugs.kde.org if you haven't already done that.

Sorry, I didn't see one - I do now. If it's complete, I don't think it's kmail,
after all. I just tend to blame kmail because it's probably the most used
kontact component and it's certainly the one that breaks most for me..

If that trace _isn't_ complete, look further. As it is, it does appear
to be early in initialization, and perhaps no components have been
started yet

hmmm. That said, it's probably still not a bad idea to try opening the
individual komponents to see if any of them have the same problem.

I don't really know what is happening...

I can start Kmail and Akregator,.. Kontact, Kadressbook and KOrganiser don't.

That makes sense. I remember Kmail crashes as well but that was long ago.

Then look for the configuration files for kadressbook and korganizer. It
might be $HOME/.kde/share/config/kaddressbookrc and
$HOME/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc but maybe there are others as well.
Move those files away from the directory and try to start the individual
applications.
