Description Elmar Stellnberger 2013-02-11 15:08:42 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0

 Whenever I try to add the system tray to the plasma desktop panel ("Systemabschnitt der Kontrolleiste") the plasma panel crashes. Happens also the first time you boot into openSUSE 12.3 RC1.

Reproducible: Always

Elmar, you are missing debug symbols, could you install them and provide a new backtrace?
Comment 4 Elmar Stellnberger 2013-02-11 16:22:26 UTC
Yes, I know. Please look out for a dup of this bug! I keep this computer offline and currently there are no sufficient tools to download all required packages from factory (as there would be for Debian: use apt offline).
Comment 5 Elmar Stellnberger 2013-02-11 16:23:33 UTC
You do not have a zypper --use-rpm-db option that could use the rpm-db of another computer for dependency resolution in combination with a --download-only option: that is what it would take.

Comment 7 Elmar Stellnberger 2013-02-11 16:50:30 UTC
as said; that would require me to re-download KDE4 + debuginfo from factory; far too much in order to do this by hand (perhaps I could do this for RC2 if you quickly implemented an option to use a foreign rpm-database for zypper.). The alternative would be a script that downloaded a whole repo (also this is perhaps no good idea with factory); even that would take me a few days to program.
Comment 8 Elmar Stellnberger 2013-02-11 17:22:30 UTC
ok; it will take to download http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/410/openSUSE_12.3/, I guess. Perhaps you will hear from me in a few days when I have an oS-repo downloader (wget always misses to download certain packages). However I believe your friends from openSUSE should really consider to implement something like suggested in Bug 803130 to get things right in the future; other distros have already valued the availablilty of offline package management.

the original kcrash before updating (the fully annotated updated version will follow, soon.).

now here as desired: a fully annotated backtrace.
Comment 12 Elmar Stellnberger 2013-02-18 09:04:00 UTC
Dear Hrvoje; now I have a fuly annotated backtrace for you! Thanks for notifying Michael/ our libzypp support team. Can you find anything out?
Comment 13 Will Stephenson 2013-02-21 14:17:21 UTC
The crash is in the networkmanager plasmoid; can you also install NetworkManager-kde4-debuginfo and repost the backtrace?
Comment 14 Will Stephenson 2013-02-21 14:29:58 UTC
You say you keep this computer offline; could you provide more details?

1) Is NetworkManager in use on this computer?  
2) What network interfaces does it have? 
3) Wired interfaces: connected to what, if anything?
4) Wireless interfaces: have you configured connection(s) to an access point?  Are they set to not connect automatically?
5) Anything else networking related that differs from a normal 08/15 setup?

ifconfig -a

 It does not use Networkmanager (traditional method with ifconfig). Only wired ethernet is available but not yet configured.
