IMPORTANT: Crashes in Krusader

We've been getting a lot of emails and bug reports regarding random crashes in Krusader, especially during some file operations (copy/move etc.). These crashes are related to Qt 3.3.5 and NOT Krusader. Seems that Qt 3.3.5 introduced a serious bug which is now causing random crashes in many KDE applications including Konqueror. You can google for it to find out more.

Afaik, debian and suse already posted new Qt binaries that fix the problem, and gentoo has masked 3.3.5 completely. As for now, you either need Qt 3.3.4 or a fixed 3.3.5, depending on your distribution.

Thanks!

For more info take a look at:
- The Debian Bugtracker: #331241, #338002 and our forum
- A discussion about this issue on krusader-devel
- Trolltech mailinglist

Regarding Debian: when you upgrade Debian Sid/Unstable with libqt3-mt(>=3:3.3.5-2) , the unstability problem is solved. Note: currently Debian Etch is still using libqt3-mt 3:3.3.5-1 , and so Krusader (and other kde applications) will crash if you are using it.

btw. several bugreports are sended in to us for this issue.

Can you give some directions for a n00b? I can't figure out which version of Qt I am using, or how to upgrade it. My crashes are not in copying/moving, but when I click the "Size" column to re-sort.

What distribution do you use? This should be easy to check in the package manager.
Or try qtconfig (simply start it from a terminal or with Alt+F2). In the menubar choose Help -> About Qt. It should show the version number.
