for the past 2 months now I haven't been able to use konqueror for anything. I think it's been bad for a while longer than that too... anyway konqueror crashed hard one day, while viewing a ton of sites.. and then it just plain started crashing a few seconds after starting to web browser. now, it crashes even on file viewing. The keyboard lockes up, and then the screen corrupts, and the system is fried... I was infected with the t0rn root kit earlier, and now that is pretty much cleaned up (chkrootkit doesn't say anything) oh, also the sound/multimedia portion of the control center crashes.. and has crashed for as long as I can remember. I've asked for help many many times on the IRC channel, and on the forums.. and I think I posted a bug before... but its not here anymore... and the problem never went away.. (my computer was t0rned for a long time, I just used windows... nobody helped me with that for a long time.. but a nice person told me about chkroot kit.. anyway... This is a major major bummer, because we only use KDE at work.. and I need it running... I've been thinking about switching to kde-cvs instead of this... 3.1.2 stuff.. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.turn on computer 2. start kde (login) 3. hit the konqueror button Actual Results: 4. can't move mouse cursor, keys don't do anything... screen corrupts Expected Results: freakin work or give an error message... or at least not take down the whole system. nvidia or nv driver on nforce1 integrated, nv or nvidia on PCI TNT2 vid cards... athlonXP Portage 2.0.48-r7 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gaming-r5 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1700+ GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 3dnow apm avi crypt encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ mad mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls png spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib directfb gdbm berkdb slang readline tetex aalib bonobo svga ggi tcltk java guile sdl gpm tcpd pam perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gtk motif opengl mozilla xfs XFS X gtk2 gnome alsa oss dvd libdvdread cups cdr cjkcrypt dga gtkhtml kde pdflib quicktime qt mysql imap libwww maildir sasl ssl arts scanner xinerama usb libcss" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
Sorry to hear about your troubles. May I recommend you try it without the nvidia drivers? Chances are those are your problems.
This seems like a problem between being hacked and having some bad files/corrupt data somewhere. The only resolution I can give you is to do a fresh install. Sorry for your luck.
dunno what else we can do...
