Version: (using KDE 3.1.9) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030415 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-pre5-jb-w4l Hi, on my system the "CDR(W) watch" service makes devfsd call /sbin/modprobe repeatedly, which does nothing, because I have aliased everything in /etc/modules.conf. But these modprobe processes consume about 80% CPU on my Athlon-XP 1800+. If I turn off 'kded' or the CDR(W) watch process, it stops - but only until I restart KDE. The bug about modprobe is probably in devfsd, but I'd like to be able to *permanently* disable KDE services nevertheless, and I consider 'forgetting' the settings in this particular kcontrol module as a bug. Please have a look at this. I'm using a CVS from hobbiton.opendoorsoftware.com (Debian sid packages) from mid-April. Thank you! -- Jens
Where is this CDR/CDRW watch from, anyway? It's not part of the base modules, AFAIK.. Perhaps it's some CD recording app?

I have k3b installed, but I'd expect k3b settings to appear in the "CD recording" tree that k3b creates within kcontrol. Screenshot's at http://www.jensbenecke.de/misc/kcontrol-services.png
A quick look for kdedmodule revealed a match of a subclass in kdeextragear-1/cdbakeoven. Reassigning.
Very interesting to see someone already has KDE 3.1.9, while on www.kde.org the lastest stable version is 3.1.2 (the version I have). Anyway... I came here today to post a bug I found on KDE 3.1.2. What is it? About "KDE Components/Service Manager". The real problem has already been adressed by Jens: We disable something on the "Startup Services" 'frame', but when KDE is restarted, the service that was previously disabled is there, running again! In my case, it is very boring because 'KDE CD-R(W) Watcher' locks my CD-ROM or CD-RW drives. If I mount a drive, then unmount it, I can't eject the disk by pressing the eject button on the drive. I have to login as 'root' then use 'eject /dev/scd0', otherwise the drive stays locked.
Disabling services (unchecking) in Service Manager has never worked and was obviously never tested either.
