[Qgis-user] Qgis segfaults on Kubuntu

[Carson Farmer]

Ricardo,

The solution that Christy Nieman posted may well work as well, but the 
root of the problem is likely that one of your qt3 packages isn't 
playing nicely with QGIS (and probably other qt applications as well).

The solution:

$ sudo apt-get remove uim-qt3

Let us know if that helps,
