Yup, that is the error; and it will throw a few more if you save the file etc.
This is a problem that was documented way back with hoary, but i didn't keep with kubuntu so i don't know if it was ever fixed or not. i would imagine it is the same error, and i guess it has persisted this long becuase kate does still start and appears to work correctly. thanks. -- Kate throws a screen of errors when invoked using sudo... kate still starts https://launchpad.net/bugs/64735 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
