Then I'd say you should report this to whoever wrote Mandrake's menudrake.
The settings.desktop file should have a X-KDE-BaseGroup entry.

Comment 2 peter 2001-02-07 06:18:29 UTC

I keep experiencing this too.  I'm also running Mandrake 7.2 but I'm not 
using menudrake (which is horrible).  I installed the 2.1beta2 tarballs and 
the same thing happens after using kmenuedit.

I think it has something to do with permissions getting altered for 
settings.desktop.  I keep finding various .desktop files in my home directory 
belonging to root.  How this happens I don't know but it happens often enough 
for me to have cron run this every couple of hours:

for name in `who |gawk '{print $1}'|uniq`
do
[ -d /home/$name ] && chown -R $name.$name /home/$name/.directory
done

The bandage to get it working is it open 
$KDEDIR/share/applnk/Settings.desktop and 
~/.kde/share/applnk/Settings.desktop in kedit and make sure the contents are 
the same.

Comment 3 Greg Smethells 2001-02-08 04:19:46 UTC

I recently had trouble with an empty KControl (no modules) and did not edit 
*any* menus between boots. I just came up into KDE and my menu had changed. 
This is with Mandrake 7.2 (as if that didn't seem to be the problem).

I do not have a Settings.desktop in either the locations mentioned below. 
Didn't previously and KControl wasn't empty then. I have been restoring my 
.kde dir my removing it and having KDE make a new one. Not the best way since 
you have to re-set all your settings but it works (for a while until the 
menu alters itself after 3-4 boots).

What should my Settings.desktop look like?

Hi Greg

My mistake - it should have read "$KDEDIR/share/applnk/Settings/.directory and
~/.kde/share/applnk/Settings/.directory ;-(

My /home/peter/.kde/share/applnk/Settings/.directory says:
[Desktop Entry]
Icon=package_settings
Name=Preferences
X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings
[URL properties]
IconSize=32

It's worth checking all the other share/applnk .directory files to ensure 
they _don't_ have the "X-KDE-BaseGroup=" line.  If one has you end up with 
an empty pane.  Delete the duplicate line and your pane comes back - try it.

Comment 6 Jeff Cottrill 2001-02-14 18:46:41 UTC

I'm using KDE 2.1 b2 and I still have the problem with the empty KControl.  I 
have blown away my /home/username/.kde directory as well as /tmp 
/kde-username and /tmp/ksocket-username.  After logging back in and getting a 
fresh KDE setup KControl worked ok the first time I ran it.  I made a few 
minor changes (color scheme screen saver) and quit.  Now it's back to being 
empty.  I can use the individual modules under the Configuration / KDE menu 
and I can run it from a terminal window su'd to root (although I get an 
"ERROR: KUniqueApplication: Trying to launch kdeinit" message).

What should I try next?

thanks!!

Comment 8 Dave Green 2001-03-11 00:58:44 UTC

This bug has not gone away in the final release of KDE 2.1 that I have
downloaded today.

I've just reinstalled Mandrake 7.2 from stratch and formatted all linux
partitions (/ /usr/ /usr/local /home /var).
I did an expert install (selecting XFree86 4.01) and did not install any KDE
packages whatsoever (as these were KDE 2.0).

I've downloaded the KDE 2.1 RPMs for Mandrake 7.2 today from
ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/kde/stable/latest/distribution/rpm/Mandrake/
7.2/i586/

I was getting error messages when I installed most of the KDE 2.1 RPM
packages. There was a problem with the file /etc/menu-methods/kde that is
put down by kdelibs-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm. This was saying that the function
encode could not be found. In the end I found an /etc/menu-methods/kde file
for KDE 2.0 that I had in a backup. Using this file allowed all the RPMS to
install without errors. However the KDE 2.0 version of this file does not
use the encode that the KDE 2.1 file had.

I do not get any modules listed in Kcontrol and when I execute the command
that the KControl icon uses from a terminal window I get "WARNING: No K
menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/"

I have also had similar problems with KDE Login Manager not executing and
the same error msg above and also a msg saying that System/kdm was not
found.

Here are the contents of the /etc/menu-methods/kde files that I mention
above.

Installation problem. 
Does any of the hints given on http://www.kde.org/info/faq.html
under "Most KDE applications crash immediately" help?

In kde 2.0 a lot of stuff used to crash in this situation in 2.1 we fixed 
the crashes but the main problem is that the installation is screwed up.

Cheers
Waldo
