Happy New Year all, here's my first bug of the year.
Using Kontact on Mint 18.3 (KDE) it's been fine for ages then yesterday, this:
Kontact opens in Kmail which works fine. Choosing other modulkes from the sidebar I find Contacts (Kaddressbook) or Calendar (Korganizer) cause Kontact to crash. Other modules do not.
Running from a terminal doesn't provide much info except an invalid socket warning.
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
Following a crash the app has clearly not exited properly because socket errors keep on coming until I close the terminal.
*phil@phil-desktop* *~ $* QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 53 and type 'Read', disabling...
Running Korganizer direct from a terminal is OK. Running Kaddressbook isn't. It opens for a fraction of a second, just long enough to see the window, then crashes. Similar error messages to the above.
As I have little idea what a socket is, I'm stumped!
The KDE reporting tool reports that the log isn't detailed enough to bother with and I can't find any useful advice online. Help?!
