I have a long shot -- I've had a bit of trouble with the nepomuk services on KDE4, although not NVidia-related (as far as I know), and not on experimental, as I generally stick with "squeeze". Anyways, your traceback has nepomuk stuff in it, so as a first cut, I suggest disabling all that stuff. In the KDE gui, you can do this via "System Settings" -> "Advanced" -> "Service Manager", and disable the "Nepomuk Search Module". This may fail if the "System Settings" is one of the KDE apps that blows up, of course. In that case, maybe you can do something more blunt-instrument-like, like renaming the nepomuk executable or something. Otherwise, there's the usual "is it plugged in" stuff: I've sometimes had issues when Debian-packaged OpenGL updates clobber the NVidia-provided OpenGL library files, but have always been able to clear them by re-running the NVidia installer. Kernel updates can do this too, not sure why. (Your symtpoms don't really match this profile, but it's easy to try...) Also, the K desktop is vast and contains multitudes. If it's convenient, maybe create a fresh, blank account on the problem system, log into it in KDE, and let the config wizards do their thing, and see if the problem still manifests -- if it doesn't, then you've isolated the problem to one account's desktop settings. It's possible the 4.4 to 4.6 migration isn't as clean as it could be, and something's getting confused. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / rei...@bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
