[Bug 38530] systemsettings crashes when you try to configure a network interface on a fresh install

[Frank Bob]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kde-systemsettings (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I installed kubuntu using the April 6th 2006 daily iso.

The installer couldn't detect my wireless network so I chose 'Do not
configure network at this time'

systemsettings crashes when I tried System Settings->Network
Settings->Administrator Mode->Configure Interface

As soon as I click Configure Interface it crashes, for both eth0 and
ath0.

After try this 3 times, it stopped asking me for the password when I
went to administrator mode. Instead I just got a blank screen. At this
point kdesu stopped working completely.

I don't know if the kdesu problem and the crashing network settings
problem are related.

Now if I install Ubuntu with Gnome first. Setup the network there, and
install kubuntu-desktop. Everything work fine. I can edit network
settings using systemsettings. It crashes if they are not setup
beforehand.

To reproduce this bug, you must try on a fresh kubuntu install AFAIK.
