Description Markos Chandras 2009-05-10 14:56:34 UTC 
Version:           kdeplasma-workspace-4.2.3 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc-4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Hello. I am using kde-4.2.3 on Gentoo linux. There is a regression on lancelot. Every menu entry appears twice. This problem didn't exist on kde-4.2.2
Comment 1 Ivan Čukić 2009-05-10 15:59:18 UTC 
Lancelot's 4.2 branch hasn't been changed between 4.2 and 4.3, at least not that I know of. So I'd say that this is a downstream problem.

Is this only about the application entries, or it also appears in other sections of Lancelot (places, contacts...)?
Comment 2 Markos Chandras 2009-05-10 16:02:51 UTC 
Ivan I am not talking about 4.2 and 4.3 but for 4.2.2 - 4.2.3 . I can only see this behavior just on applications categories where I have 2 entries of amarok, 2 vlc etc etc

I am not sure if it happens on contacts or places. I ll check in a bit and I ll report back

I know you're not, my bad, the sentence was supposed to be "Lancelot's 4.2 branch hasn't been changed between 4.2.2 and 4.2.3, at... "

(since there were a lot of changes between 4.2 and 4.3 :)

I've just checked, the only changes made are related to localization, so I'm 90% sure this is a downstream problem. (or your local problem)

You should check whether you have duplicate entries in KMenuEditor. If not, then try running:
  kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
(I think this should clean up the kbuildsycoca database first...)

Hello, im gentoo user to. I confirm this bug, but its not a bug of lancelot. Same thing happens in my kickoff menu. All apps that i search for are duplicated and 2nd entry points to desktop file (no icon, name of desktop file, help note <name>.desktop under name of entry). Those 2nd entries only are shown for apps that arent part of kde and dont use kdelibs i think.

Is this really resolved? If so , could you point us to the patch in order to include it to our packages? :)
Comment 6 Ivan Čukić 2009-05-10 17:16:59 UTC 
Resolved doesn't always mean the problem is fixed. :)

In this case it is "resolved as an upstream issue".

Unless someone not using Gentoo confirms this bug, this is a Gentoo issue. And even then, according to shade, it is not a Lancelot bug.

So, the patch doesn't exists, since it is not the problem with the code, but with the installation.

Naturally, you're free to continue the troubleshooting discussion here, and I'll help as much as I'm able to, but this is not KDE/Lancelot issue.
Comment 7 Markos Chandras 2009-05-10 17:25:24 UTC 
Okey :) . So I opened a downstream bug for further investigation :)
