I can confirm this running Karmic with KDE SC 4.4. To reproduce: 1) Start Font Installer (either via systemsettings, krunner, konsole, kmenu....) 2) Add a font (either .otf or .ttf) try to install it systemwide
You'll get an error message saying "Failed to start the system daemon". Starting the settings module from command line (kcmshell4 fontinst), the respective lines are: (4994) KFI::FontInst::install: 1263690277 "/home/blizzz/Downloads/font/LinLibertineFont/LinLibertine_Bd-4.0.2.otf" false true 4991 106973428 false (4994) KFI::FontInst::authenticate: 1263690277 (4994) KFI::FontInst::openSystemConnection: 1263690294 (4994) KFI::FontInst::openSystemConnection: 1263690294 create sys interface (4994) KFI::FontInst::openSystemConnection: 1263690294 Failed to start the system daemon -- fontinstall dont work systemsettings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
