Sounds like your KDE session is starting with a wrong environment. Check $KDEDIRS and $XDG_DATA_DIRS in particular. Not in your shell (which seems correctly setup), but at the time of startkde. Check for scripts in $KDEHOME/env/*.sh which would affect KDEDIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS. Use /proc/PID/environ to check the environment as seen by kded4 (which is the one launching kbuildsycoca). How to do "but at the time of startkde"? what should itbe? $KDEHOME is not set % cat /proc/PID/environ gives: LD_BIND_NOW=true XDG_VTNR=7 XDG_SESSION_ID=1 DM_CONTROL=/var/run/xdmctl SHELL=/bin/bash XDM_MANAGED=method=classic GS_LIB=/home/guy/.fonts GTK_MODULES=canberra-gtk-module KDE_FULL_SESSION=true USER=guy MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins PATH=/usr/lib/qt4/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/core_perl MAIL=/var/spool/mail/guy DESKTOP_SESSION=default PWD=/home/guy JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk KDE_SESSION_UID=1000 LANG=C HOME=/home/guy XDG_SEAT=seat0 SHLVL=1 KDE_SESSION_VERSION=4 XCURSOR_THEME=Oxygen_White LOGNAME=guy XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-BVeX8xp2jW,guid=d84b6e3565d6f183b62a7be851b9f963 WINDOWPATH=7 DISPLAY=:0 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/guy/.kde/lib/kde4/plugins/:/usr/local/lib/kde4/plugins/:/usr/local/lib/plugins/ XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE _=/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/start_kdeinit_wrapper Thanks $KDEHOME is short hand for ~/.kde, if it's not set. So, I meant ~/.kde/env/*.sh -- which is one way to set up env vars so that they will be seen by KDE startup, when using non-standard install prefixes. Pasting your env vars doesn't tell me much, I don't know your setup (where KDE is installed, etc.) Please come to IRC for support, kde-core-devel or bugzilla are really not convenient for this (it doesn't look like a bug, but like a setup issue). I cannot yet come to IRC, because look under. The problem seams to be a mix of programs I have compiled and installed under /usr/local/bin (kmail) and some I get over packages from ArchLinux (kdm). Changing the start of kdm.service to /usr/local/bin/kdm provides a little solution: The "Configure Kmail" window is complete, the command menü filled. But, inserting a USB-Stick doesn't produce any notification, and by using kopete, the "Configure" window (such as kmail before) is empty. Is it possible to do such a mix? If yes, what do I need to set before? If one doesn't set that, could it be possible to generate an appropriate error message? I would like to write some code for this. Where happens the problem? cann't reproduce anymore |
