Bug#121818: kcmlinuz: Crashes when I try to load a config file
Package: kcmlinuz
Version: 4:2.2.1-1.3
Severity: normal
If this problem is general, severity should be higher.
I click on the KDE control center icon and select System | Linux
Kernel Configurator.
Then I click "Load From" and navigate to a copy of the configuration
file save under /boot by kernel-package (? not sure that's the exact
name--the debian way of building kernels). I select the file, hit OK,
and it crashes.
I thought it might be a permission issue, so I copied config-2.4.12 to
my home directory and changed ownership. Still crashes repeatably.
I thought it might be that the default path to the source is not
present on my system, but setting it first and then loading the config
file still crashes.
After I set the path I get the following error displayed in the main
panel of the KDE Control Center:
The kernel configuration could not be read due to the following error:
cannot open /usr/local/src/kernel-source-2.4.14//arch//config.in for
readingEither your kernel sources contain invalid configuration rules
or you just found a bug in the KDE Kernel Configurator.
Here's the trace from the panel that told me the KDE Control Center
had crashed:

System is woody; I installed the app a few days ago.
