I can confirm this on edgy too, having just downloaded the .deb and pulling out that file. The broken file is in kcontrol- autostart_0.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb, located at /usr/share/applications/kde/autostart.desktop
Hopefully the next release of this package will have the fix in it. ** Changed in: kcontrol-autostart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Assignee: Andrew Ash => (unassigned) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- egg_desktop_entries_add_group: assertion failed: bad autostart.desktop file https://launchpad.net/bugs/49859 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
