ksysguard does not start in dapper

I have the same problem.
I'm not sure if this happened with avahi's update or kdebase's update.
The applet works fine but it doesn't lunck ksysguard!

I confirm this bug. I remember libavahi being removed due to no longer being a dependency, but I don't know if it's the library ksysguard needs.

Root cause is in kdelibs4c2a package that provides this shared library (libkdnssd.so) - this package should depend on avahi libraries as it clearly has references to it:

$ objdump -T /usr/lib/libkdnssd.so.1.0.0 | grep avahi_client_new
00000000 D *UND* 00000000 avahi_client_new

Indeed, I'm curious as to why shlibs doesn't pick this up, odd.. can someone try rebuilding kdelibs and see if it happens again? I would but im having issues with gcc on my machine (amd64) crashing atm.

Just another confirmation here.

Same problem here.

I have the same problem. Hope this get's fixed before dapper goes final.

Fix was released with today's release of kdelibs4c2a (3.5.1-0ubuntu11)

Ksysguard worked for a moment, but after the latest updates it sais:

$ ksysguard
ScimInputContextPlugin()
ksysguard: WARNING: Failed to create avahi client
KCrash: Application 'ksysguard' crashing...

I've reopened this bug because it still doesn't work. The error message is:

ScimInputContextPlugin()
ksysguard: WARNING: Failed to create avahi client
KCrash: Application 'ksysguard' crashing...

Since the last updates ksysguard no longer crashes; though it still spits out the same error messages.

As above, I get the warning message but ksysguard works as normal. Submitter, do you get this same problem? Thank you.

I get the same warning message:

ksysguard: WARNING: Failed to create avahi client

Assigned to kdebase as it is source package for ksysguard

Is this bug still a problem for anyone? Its been over a year since last comment, Please reopen bug if it is still a problem
