Hello Camaleón, hello list, I had to search for this post on the interwebs, as I'm not subscribed. But finally a good soul answered me! Thanks, Camaleón! :-)

Agreed. But this email was for venting frustration too.

The only program that I' aware that's running kdesud is synaptic, so I dunno. > 2) The laptop has a JMicron card reader that only works if the card is > inserted at boot time. >Mmm... what's dmesg output when you connect a card?

The last time I tried to install nouveau, it tried to remove all nvidia packages, and after that, it didn't work - black screen, no output, no X, no console. I'll try again, but I reported this to the kde bug tracking, and they're also trying to figure it out. So far, no luck. > Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list. Sorry, I can't :-( I had to search this on a weird forum, but at least I found it. Why you can't CC me? Thanks!
