The konstruct meta package kde was compiled with default CFLAGS (kdeedu did not build successfully, a different bug however). The quick access control panel button on the kicker displays "no entries" when pressed. Also both the control panel and Info Center programs display no entries in their menus. However, in the main KDE menu (by pressing the "K" button) there is a menu titled "Unknown" under which the entries for both the control panel and Info Center can be found. 172249 1 maksim 2003-11-04 16:09:28 +0000 *** Bug 67202 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 172378 2 maksim 2003-11-04 23:46:47 +0000 *** Bug 67227 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 172397 3 prigault 2003-11-05 00:30:08 +0000 I can confirm this here: - Info Center is emptry - Control Center is empty, except for Peripherals/Digital Camera System/K3bSetup2 I do not have any "Unknown" entry on my K-menu though.

No entries in kcontrol and a kmenu-item called unknown containing all the modules. Running kbuildsycoca generates lots of output, all of them warnings like this: kbuildsycoca: WARNING: 'katepart.desktop' specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'text/book' As a possible resolution I emptied my .kde directory, but that did not work. I use Gentoo. Same as the original reporter of this bug. 172543 5 andre 2003-11-05 10:32:15 +0000 This workaround fixes the problem: (on Gentoo Linux - your path may vary) cd /usr/kde/3.2/etc/xdg/menus/ ln -s default_kde-settings.menu kde-settings.menu 172553 6 bastian 2003-11-05 11:03:47 +0000 Workaround above is the correct fix.
