K3b stopped working

[vinoman]

Today I went to open K3b and it would grey out and hang... and not come back on. What would cause K3b to stop working? I uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing changed.

How can I correct this problem?

Problem has been solved... how do I add solved to title?

You can try starting k3b from a terminal and see where there might be any errors ...

I get this:
[davek@davek ~]$ k3b
DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket
DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket
kbuildsycoca running...
[davek@davek ~]$ (K3bDevice::HalConnection) initializing HAL >= 0.5

the splash screen goes gray and stay s on top of the browser window, and won't go away. I think some update corrupted K3b. I had this happen before with my printer. How can I find out what corrupted K3b?

Did you update very recently? I installed some updates a couple of hours ago and all my Qt4 apps have stopped working. I am trying to trace it back to libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10.i386 or xorg-x11-drv-vesa-2.2.0-3.fc10.i386 or perhaps some new selinux policy. nCurses!

I had to be some updates... I'm not going to update anything anymore because of problems like this. Who know what's caused it. But it was working fine two days ago and now K3b is dead. I might as well uninstall it and use Gnomebaker.
