[Bug 189793] Re: KDE4 Kickoff Icons No Longer Work
I have the same problem as Jeremy: after the update to 4.0.1 all the KDE4 entries are wrong: menus, desktop icons, and so on. I have no ~/share/config/kickoffrc file to delete, so Harald's advice is useless for me. I deleted the .kde4 folder in order to have it recreated (as it was), but the problem remains. Are the packages wrong or is there some other configuration file to delete/recreate? -- KDE4 Kickoff Icons No Longer Work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189793 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 189793] Re: KDE4 Kickoff Icons No Longer Work
This issue doesn't just effect the favorites menu entries, it effects all of the KDE4 entries. The path was changed to /usr/lib/kde4/bin/nameofexec instead of programname-kde4. New installations won't have this problem, but those upgrading may still have programname-kde4 in the menu entries. I changed them all manually, however not everyone knows how to do that, and changing the executable commands and having it break several peoples menus was a stupid idea. Was it even tested? I like how this was marked Invalid. These types of bugs are serious.

[Bug 189793] Re: KDE4 Kickoff Icons No Longer Work
well, I'd say it's even worse: while I can start the new version of Dolphin in kde4 simply by typing dolphin (rather than dolphin-kde4 as before the update), I have no idea how to launch the kde4 version of Dolphin while running under kde3 *AT_ALL* !!! Am I missing something? Is there no more way to use kde4 apps in kde3? Does that make sense? If someone has an idea how to address this, please let me know. --hasi -- KDE4 Kickoff Icons No Longer Work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189793 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
