Description Paul L. 2010-02-14 04:12:36 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

K Menu > System Settings > Advanced > User Management results in a window with:

"The service 'User Management' does not provide an interface 'KCModle' with keyword 'userconfig/userconfig.py' The Factory does not support creating components of the specified type.

Possible reasons:
 An error occured during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module.
 You have old third party modules lying around.

Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager."

Pressing OK causes the crash. Details:
Executable: kcmshell4 PID: 9272 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault)

Running KDE 4.4.0, upgraded two days ago from KDE 4.3.5.
Kernel 2.6.31-19-generic i686 (32 bit)
Distro Ubuntu 9.10 karmic

I installed kdeadmin, it pulls in kuser and kcron, now User Manager works from the System menu shortcut. The shortcut in System Settings still produces the errors.This solves half of the problem.
