Description Horacio Sanson 2003-11-05 08:35:06 UTC
Version:           3.1.93 (using KDE KDE 3.1.93)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 (konstruct) RedHat
OS:          Linux

Had kde3.2-alpha2 and upgraded to beta1 (using konstruct) all the configuration icons in kcontrol dissapeared. I got an entry in the kde menu called unknown with all the links to the configuration options that should be inside kcontrol.

I have no Idea why is this or how to fix it. I can access the configuration options by accessing the kde menu but not by kcontrol.

Also the help doesn't work, it says the help: protocol is not supported.
Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2003-11-05 09:17:38 UTC
the help: protocol missing is most likely just a konstruct bug in not
providing the right libxml version to the kdelibs configure.

But the missing kcontrol entries are reported in other places too.

though I've got kcontrol entries with my post-beta snapshot.

Fixed in CVS already.

You can fix yourself by moving the default_*.menu files that are found in $KDEDIR/share/applnk to $KDEDIR/share/applications and remove the "default_" prefix.

E.g.
$KDEDIR/share/applnk/default_kde-settings.menu -->
$KDEDIR/share/applications/kde-settings.menu

Comment 5 Waldo Bastian 2003-11-05 11:07:53 UTC
Correction: They should be moved to $KDEDIR/etc/xdg/menus
E.g. 
 $KDEDIR/share/applnk/default_kde-settings.menu --> 
 $KDEDIR/etc/xdg/menus/kde-settings.menu
Or possbibly:
 $KDEDIR/etc/xdg/menus/default_kde-settings.menu --> 
 $KDEDIR/etc/xdg/menus/kde-settings.menu
Comment 6 Horacio Sanson 2003-11-05 11:21:27 UTC
ok, thanks a lot...  the last option did the trick

 $KDEDIR/etc/xdg/menus/default_kde-settings.menu --> 
 $KDEDIR/etc/xdg/menus/kde-settings.menu 

know I have all in order....

Tried all the hints above. Still my Controll Center only has Peripherals and Yast2 Modul.

Comment 9 Stephan Kulow 2003-11-05 13:38:46 UTC
But the bug _is_ fixed. There is some other patch needed for suse 9.0,
you might want to update to CVS snapshots on ftp.suse.com/pub/people/adrian

Hi,

I had to delete my $KEDHOME after making the changes above for the above fix to work.
Cheers
Greg

A better way to do it, without delete your kde settings:

cd /usr/kde/3.2/etc/xdg/menus/ 
ln -s default_kde-settings.menu kde-settings.menu
kbuildsyscocoa

Everything is back to normal in the kontrol center now.

Comment 16 Dennis Veatch 2003-11-10 16:32:42 UTC
I'm having the same problem with Mandrake cooker (10.0) and KDE 3.1.93. On a fresh install the only kde-settings.menu is in /etc/xdg/menus and there is no default_kde-settings.menu. So I'm not usre what to do about that.

I have tried deleting $HOME/.kde, running kbuildsycoca to no avail. Any other pointers?
Comment 17 tiziano andrea portenier 2003-11-21 23:29:42 UTC
it's not essential to delete KDEHOME. delete just the file KDEHOME/share/config/kcontrolrc and kcontrol works :)
