I was probably drunk when I wrote the bug report. Bug stay the same, here his just the "corrected" text : KVIRC beta 2 crash : The first time I've launched it, There was no text in configuration dialog boxes, surelly a font problem. The second time, it crash just after the spash screen. I've tested with a copy of beta1's configuration : same pb. Here are infos on my box and then the errors visibles when I lanched it from konsole : I've got a very brokken entglish, sorry about that.
Do you have a kvirc config dir (default location ~/kvirc-3.0.0-beta2)? If so remove it and try running kvirc. My kvirc also started crashing at some point and removing the cofig dir and letting it create a new one fixed the problem. Try running strace kvirc, see if it crashes on anything conspicious. What signal does it get on crashing? (e.g. segfault, or something else.) Try building with debug info and generating a backtrace.
Any news on the status of this?
