Package: kcmlinuz Version: 4:2.2.1-1.3 Severity: normal If this problem is general, severity should be higher.
I click on the KDE control center icon and select System | Linux Kernel Configurator. Then I click "Load From" and navigate to a copy of the configuration file save under /boot by kernel-package (? not sure that's the exact name--the debian way of building kernels). I select the file, hit OK, and it crashes. I thought it might be a permission issue, so I copied config-2.4.12 to my home directory and changed ownership. Still crashes repeatably. I thought it might be that the default path to the source is not present on my system, but setting it first and then loading the config file still crashes. After I set the path I get the following error displayed in the main panel of the KDE Control Center: The kernel configuration could not be read due to the following error: cannot open /usr/local/src/kernel-source-2.4.14//arch//config.in for readingEither your kernel sources contain invalid configuration rules or you just found a bug in the KDE Kernel Configurator. Here's the trace from the panel that told me the KDE Control Center had crashed: (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
