I have been doing generic updates to my machine. emerge -pv world, etc. I have not used k3b for a while. Today I Tried to use if and it fails with a message: Could not find mime type application/octet-stream and then a second message No mime types installed. I then get a crash dialog box: This backtrace appears to be of no use. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

A possible solution is to: Just re-emerge k3b (if the kdelibs have been updated later to k3b, that could be a reason for the fail). Otherwise you could do: 1. unmerge k3b 2. emerge mime-types 3. emerge ctags 4. unmerge and emerge kdelibs 5. emerge k3b That will take some time, but your mime-types should be updated after that.
No reply from reporter.
I have the same problem with k3b-0.11.23-r2 and kde-3.2.3. Doing the following: 1. unmerge k3b 2. emerge mime-types 3. emerge ctags 4. unmerge and emerge kdelibs 5. emerge k3b Did not work for me. I tried it twice, and I even tried re-emerging all of the kde packages that I had installed. The funny thing is that this only happens to me if I am running k3b in kde. I can run this in fluxbox without any problems. I still get the console messages about kio but that does not appear to affect k3b. On the gentoo forums, a fix that works at least temporarily is to: rm -fr /var/tmp/kdecache-USERNAME/* rm -fr /tmp/kde-USERNAME/* rm -fr /tmp/ksocket-USERNAME/* This only works until you log out. After that, the procedure must be done again. Others sugested migrating to kde-3.4 but I like the relative safety of x86 stable.

Sorry - somehow I guess I never saw that there had been any response on this. I reported this quite a long time ago. (6 months) I have not seen this problem in quite a long time. My thought would be to do a careful set of tests using emerge -pv --update --deep --newuse world (or possibly just k3b) and then emerge anything that shows up using emerge -pv --update --deep --oneshot world (or just k3b) and then when all of that is clean look at the results of revdep-rebuild -p to ensure that everything needed is really installed. I run Gnome mostly these days and sometimes fluxbox.
Actually, the reason is known: kde applications compiled against kde-3.4 cannot run in a kde-3.3 session, and we cannot do much for it... see also bug 65030.
um - so what is the solution here? How can one run 3.3 and 3.4 apps together? if not - shouldn't we make sure that one cant install 3.4 apps in a 3.3 kde?
