The screen shot and the bug description do not match. Does systemsettings crash or just open an empty window (because no KCM services are found)?
just opens an emtpy window+error message as the screenshot suggests.... after i click OK on the error window, systemsettings exits (closes) btw, how can iget to install kded5 on the system? just sudo aptitude install kded5? cos i always thought if kded5 is a dependency of a program, the program "pulls" it with itself (doesnt want to be installed/upgraded without it-)... nice day Simon:) ps. and thank you for your reply....
Could you please post the output of which systemsettings
