the K package manager seems to crash on me everytime i try to install a new package.... anyone know what this could be....... i cant figure it out

I take it that you're trying to instal an RPM using KDE.

Try opening up a terminal window and entering

Code:

rpm -i filename.rpm

where "filename.rpm is the name of the RPM file that you're trying to load. You may find that you need to be root user (enter 'su -' followed, when prompted, by the root password [remember to put the space minus sign after the su, this makes sure that you get all of root's environment setup])

have fun

its not that, i can apt-get just fine, and thats all i really 'need' in the truest sence of the word..... but id like to know what exactly is causing the crash, how it can be stoped, and what i can do to prevent it in the future..... all in the name of learning, ya know?

Davou00,
when it crashes, are you presented with a KDE error message pop-up? And if so is there any mention of sigrev11 or sig11? If so, then you've got some dodgy RAM.
