When i go to kickoff application launcher and applications there are no programs there, is there a way to make menu or what is wrong with this? i've tried with new user too but no luck.

There is a solution posted here: http://groups.google.com/group/amarok-n ... 05b8?pli=1

It basically says to run the following command in the console:

Code: Select all: cp /etc/xdg/menus/kde4-applications.menu ~/.config/menus/applications.menu

Then rerun kbuildsycoca4

I am also having the problem of system settings crashing when selecting multimedia.
Also my dolphin has NoText displayed in place of menu like file, edit...
Any idea how to fix it guys?

Regarding system settings crashing when Multimedia is selected, there is a very simple solution: Install a Phonon backend. Xine or GStreamer will do, but you must have a backend. It cannot use the 4.1 backend, it must be from KDE 4.2 ( Neon repository )

I cannot find any back ends from the neon repository.

I didn't know how Project Neon worked, I just manually browsed the repository. If you have the kde-nightly-kdesupport package installed, then that should include by definition Phonon because Phonon lives in kdesupport.

If for some reason it is not being included, please prod a Neon packager.

Try running "systemsettings" from the terminal, and posting its output here when it crashes.

WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded

These warnings were filling my terminal

Another issue I have is with my laptop multimedia keys when caps lock is pressed. When caps lock is pressed volume start increasing and decreasing randomly and wifi and other lights start turning on and off!! Any one experiencing similar problems?

Are all your Neon packages of the same version? If they are not then update them, as they could easily be incompatible ( Konqueror 4.1 will not work with the KDE 4.2 Workspace libs for instance )
