This difficult to explain and not much info in logs. Booted into live mode on pre 3 final kde livecd first build DATE: Sat May 11 20:00:00 CEST 2013 Trying various applications, noticed there is no kopete yet there is the icon in the notification area for 'Instant messaging presence'. Right clicking the icon shows the normal right click menu but none of the options there are actually available. Clicked Contact list, Account settings, then another one to do with accounts and the screen went black with only net-applet in the top right corner and kde crash handler drkonqi tried to debug (but is missing the debugger). The DE restarts then without the 'Instant messaging presence' icon and all is well. Nothing is shown in the journal about the crash but .xsession-errors shows plasma-desktop crashing. I'll attach it but there are a few errors I'll pull out which might be related.. tp-qt 0.9.3 WARN: GetAll(AccountManager) failed with "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : "The name org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager was not provided by any .service files" plasma-desktop(2879) KTp::GlobalPresence::setAccountManager: GlobalPresence used with unready account manager tp-qt 0.9.3 WARN: Account filtering requires AccountManager to be ready tp-qt 0.9.3 WARN: Account filtering requires AccountManager to be ready plasma-desktop(2879)/libplasma Plasma::isPluginVersionCompatible: unversioned plugin detected, may result in instability a number of loops detected to do with plasmoids plasma-desktop(9008)/plasma StatusNotifierItemSource::refreshCallback: DBusMenu disabled for this application QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 17 and type 'Read', disabling... tp-qt 0.9.3 WARN: Account filtering requires AccountManager to be ready KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/bin/plasma-desktop from kdeinit KCrash: Application 'plasma-desktop' crashing...

can you install the debugger before doing all those steps ? this could help
does it use gdb?
It's reproducible so i'll get a trace, working on it now.

The crash is triggered by clicking on 'Add new contact' and present from pre 3 final kde livedvd also.
Summary: kde livecd plasma-desktop crash => kde live isos plasma-desktop crash
telepathy-kde-desktop-applets should require telepathy-kde-contact-list. This requires was present in telepathy-kde-presence-applet 0.5.3 http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/telepathy-kde-presence-applet/current/SPECS/telepathy-kde-presence-applet.spec?revision=399550&view=markup&pathrev=402584 but was forgotten in the move to telepathy-kde-desktop-applets 0.6.0. This bug affects install from classical installer too; telepathy-kde-desktop-applets is missing on classical installer DVD isos. Fixed in SVN. Hope it will not too late for mga3.
