RHBA-2011:1200 - kdebase bug fix update

Synopsis

kdebase bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated kdebase packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The K Desktop Environment (KDE) is a graphical desktop environment for the X Window System. The kdebase package includes core applications for KDE.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, when starting another instance of the konsole application in an already running konsole instance, the spurious "Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)[?1034h" message was displayed. This bug has been fixed in this update and no longer occurs. (BZ#631481)

  • Prior to this update, the System Settings application in KDE became unresponsive when entering a password in order to apply changes in the About Me dialog. With this update, the bug has been fixed so that entering a password works properly. (BZ#609039)

All users of kdebase are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
