santner Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I just installed Mandriva 2006 using kde and everything worked fine for a few days. Today, however when I logged into my account there were dozens of random .jpg, .gif and .bin files in my home directory. After rebooting and logging back in kde gives an error that: The application KDE Daemon (kded) crashed and caused the signal 8 (SIGFPE). I have tried to open a konsole and kill the source, but it is an infinite number of error windows popping up about every 10 seconds or so. This eats up 100% of the CPU and thus makes the computer useless. I tried logging into IceWM and the same thing. I could always install gnome but I really like KDE. Please help!

ianw1974 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Sounds like the kat issue. First thing to do after a 2006 install is: urpme kat and this fixes a lot of the problems associated with speed decrease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santner Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 So far so good - after two reboots no errors yet. I will repost if I run into the problem again. Before this post I had no idea what kat was, and now that I do it seems like a really cool application. Is there another workaround for the problem besides: urpme kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 KAT is a desktop search app from what I know. However, it seems to cause so many problems, people always remove it and never have any further problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
