           Summary: reproducable installation failure - message ". . . just
                    found a bug in the kde kernel configurator."
           Product: www.kde.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandrake RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: webmaster at kde.org
        ReportedBy: appsdev at cogeco.ca


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

I contacted Mandrake but could not locate a bug reporting system so I will try kde.

I do not know who wants ownership of this but I will give you this.

- I downloaded mdk 9.1 iso images - installed - something wrong - desktop icons will not open on click but will open on right click, 'Open..." - menu commands work properly - root choice on login causes busy cursor for about a minute then total system failure (read crash, read Windows?) - generally messages appear advising that my configuration is not uptodate, I choose to repair, no apparent effect - main problem appears to be the underlying configuration files - network will not work, hangs machine

- click menu > control centre > linux kernel - message "sorry, the kernel configuration could not be read due to the following error - cannot open /usr/src/linux//config.in for reading - either your kernel sources contain invalid configuration rules or you just found a bug in the kde kernel configurator. This is verbatim.

- I downloaded one set of mdk iso images from one site and found the previous problems. They kept appearing after about four or five full installations so I downloaded another full set from another site, reformatted the hard drive and the problems kept appearing.

- This problem is 100% reproducible. Please tell me who may be interested? What files do you want and where do I send them?
