Kadu produces ~/.kadu/kadu.conf.xml.backup.whatever on segfaults, so some bug causes it to crash on your machine. When it happens you can just copy /kadu.conf.xml.backup.whatever to ~/.kadu/kadu.conf, but It would be much better if you could recompile Kadu with --enable-debug passed to configure script, try to reproduce the bug and mail the backtrace to me, so I can figure out what happend.
Steps you would have to take: 1) Install all packages needed to compile Kadu (as root): apt-get build-dep kadu 2) Fetch the sources: apt-get source kadu 3) Unpack it: dpkg-source -x kadu_0.5.0-4.dsc 4) Unpack upstream's kadu tarball: tar xfj kadu-0.5.0/kadu-0.5.0.tar.bz2 5) Compile and install: cd kadu ./configure --enable-debug --with-existing-libgadu --prefix=~/kadu make make install 6) try it out: ~/kadu/bin/kadu When it segfaults just mail the backtrace to me (by copy-pasting from the console output). Without it I can't figure out what causes these segfaults. -- Patryk Cisek
