If you still have kdebase-data in apt's archive, you can do this: dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-data_4%3a3.3.2-1_all.deb Or, if you have testing in your sources.list, you can do apt-get install kdebase-data/testing Otherwise, download kdebase-data_3.3.2-1_all.deb from Debian's website, and install it using dpkg -i kdebase-data_3.3.2-1_all.deb.

I think I would just like to add here that I have succesfully migrated to an all 3.4.2 desktop with pure sid packages. A lot of stuff is missing, like kdepim and I get by with mozilla-thunderbird as my mail client for now. The point is that this works for me with absolutely no issues whatsoever. The K-menu is fully populated and KControl works fine as well. Anders -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: KDE menu applications gone
Well, the first reply indicated I should use kdelibs-3.3.2-7.1 but I couldn't find that one anywhere. I already had 3.3.2-6.1, but I tried dpkg -i to reinstall both that and kcontrol, but it had no effect - I am still unable to see any menus inside kcontrol. My problem was not related to the KDE menu though - it was related to the kcontrol menu groups. Any other suggestions on how to get kcontrol items back after a downgrade?

Re: KDE menu applications gone
Hi Marco, I am holding kdelibs abd kdelibs-bin untill the rest of the kde progs are updated to 3.4.2 http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2005/08/msg00089.html . You should avoid upgrading KDE stuffs until the mail from the KDE mantainers The document says 'do apt-get upgrade' and/or hold kdelibs4. It did not mention kdelibs-data. This is why Barney and me rushed into that problem. Ok, maybe I have still been in sleep mode ;-) Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

KDE menu applications gone
Hi, I'm running SID and have just done an update on my system, unfortunately this appears to have broken things. KDE is at 3.3.2-7, I am holding kdelibs abd kdelibs-bin untill the rest of the kde progs are updated to 3.4.2 The KMenu has no applications in it, there is only bookmarks, quick browser, run command, lock session and logout showing If I try running kcontrol from a konsole i get WARNING: No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/ and no icons are shown in the kcontrol window. I've moved my .kde directorys away so that kde starts fresh but the problem doesn't go away. I've done some searching but everything I've found doesn't appear to fix it. (checking libqt versions and setting XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS in the .bashrc) Is there anything else I can try or is this a package problem that is being worked on?

Re: KDE menu applications gone
;-) that happened to me this morning as well (my heart stopped beating for a while). Just downgrade kdelibs-data to 4:3.3.2-7 and everything is in place again. (After that, I restarted kde with /etc/init.d/kdm stop and start). I found the old kdelibs-data with the apt-get archive, so I just had to dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.3.2-7_all.deb and thats it. Greetings, Tim Am Donnerstag, 18.
