I'm seeing this again, after recent kdelibs update (I'm on kdebase-data 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2.1).
After the update, I first encountered bug #152325 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/152325 which seems to be related. To fix that, I found I had to: - remove a symlinked directory: /etc/xdg/menus/application-merged - reinstall the kdebase-data using dpkg-deb: sudo dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-data_4%3a3.5.8-0ubuntu2.1_all.deb / That fixed 152325. I then reinstalled kde-systemsettings similarly: sudo dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-systemsettings_0.0svn20070312-0ubuntu4_i386.deb / systemsettings now runs correctly. Trying to use "aptitude reinstall" for either of these does *not* work. >From my limited knowledge, that appears to be the basic problem -- installation of these files just doesn't happen correctly, presumably to do with the way that config files are installed. If, for example, I remove one file from an installed package: $ sudo rm /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-essential.menu This will break kcontrol. I expect that this will restore the file (since the package contains the file): $ sudo aptitude reinstall kdebase-data But: $ cat /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-essential.menu cat: /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-essential.menu: No such file or directory -- systemsettings crash in Gutsy Gibbon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114286 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kde-systemsettings in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
