Re: Empty KDE Control Panel; Crowded Lost and Found
Hi Folks, Thanks to these two people, my system no longer has this problem. Aptitude had taken it into its addled little mind to 'hold' kdelibs at 4.3.5a.dfsg.1-3. Overriding this (and upgrading to 4.3.5a.dfsg.1-5) fixed the problem. Next step, debug aptitude ;-) On Dec 02 2006, Florian Kulzer wrote: > On Sat, Dec 02, 2006 at 08:50:01 +1100, M-L wrote: > > On Saturday 02 December 2006 08:35, Florian Kulzer sent this for all our > > perusal: > > >---> On Fri, Dec 01, 2006 at 12:02:54 -0800, Arlie Stephens wrote: > > >---> > Hi Folks, > > >---> > > > >---> > Like several others, I've got an etch installation with kde where > > >the > > >---> > kde control panel is empty.

This sounds like bug #397057 / #398734. It was supposedly fixed in kdelibs 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-4. Which version of this package do you have installed?

Empty KDE Control Panel; Crowded Lost and Found
Hi Folks, Like several others, I've got an etch installation with kde where the kde control panel is empty. The last time this came up, someone pointed to a kind of lost and found within kde - it shows up as one of the directory-like choices in that application menu. Sure enough, I've got a huge lost and found menu, which will probably let me get at the various kde control center options, but what I want is to fix the control center. I don't know how kde works, internally. How do I get these tools to appear where they belong? Am I looking for a directory tree, to be fixed with mv, some text file to be editted, or (I fear) some binary file to be modified only with some doubtless graphical tool? Also, assuming I fix whatever got misinstalled, how do I avoid having it break again every time some kde component is upgraded? -- Arlie (Arlie Stephens [EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
