Hello,
my Kget is missing some menu entries, such as settings (see screenshot), but also help is empty.
http://666kb.com/i/cjqbpfafxkh1brb38.png
When I start Kget via console, this is the output:

Code: Select all

[richard@chakra ~]$ kget

I already deleted all kgetrc related files in ~/.kde4/share/config/ , but no change...

However under a different user everything works as expected.

Any clues?

try:
- logout of your KDE session
- login to a virtual terminal (alt+ctrl+F1) and remove your KDE cache - /var/tmp/kdecache-username
- log back in and run: kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental 2> /dev/null

Unfortunate this didn't help...


PS:
When I run kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental > /dev/null (without the 2)
I see lots of download_randomname_pdf.desktop files which kbuildsycoca4 is complaining about. Looks like some of my downloads generated a desktop file... I don't think it is related to this problem, but would be nice to get rid of them, but I can't find these files....

can you think of anything different between when it ran and now when it doesn't?

is the setting menu the only one adversely affected?

there is a kget folder in $KDEHOME/shar/apps that should not affect the menus but you could try renaming it

can you try changing the app style to Oxygen in systemsettings

You mean kbuildsyscoca? Didn't notice any difference.

No, the help menu is (also) empty.

You sure? I found file:///usr/share/apps/kget/kgetui.rc:

looks broken to me.

It is all oxygen.

I assume it once worked correctly for you, correct? do recall when it stopped working and if you had a crash or did an update just before or something?

$KDEHOME/shar/apps is where KDE apps keep application data so it's either ~/.kde/share/apps/kget or ~/.kde4/share/apps/kget (I originally mispelled "share" as "shar")

the rc file in /usr/share is used by all users so if other users are correct it is not the cause of your problem

no other KDE apps have missing menus items?

guess it didn't appear to be Oxygen to me because you cropped off the buttons in the pic

sorry all out of ideas

>I assume it once worked correctly for you, correct? do recall when it stopped working and if you had a crash or did an update just before or something?
Actually I'm not sure if it worked ever correctly, but I would guess so since it works on other accounts.

Maybe they have it cached(?). What does your file:///usr/share/apps/kget/kgetui.rc looks like?

> no other KDE apps have missing menus items?
Not that I'm aware of...

I also de-& reinstalled kget in pacman, with /some/ success, Kget starts now way faster then before (2s vs ~10s), but still no menu ...

Try to press Ctrl+M.
This should toggle the menu on/off.

For KGet the menu was off by default here as well, but Ctrl+M turned it on again.

Based on the output you have provided, my primary suspect here would the D-Bus menu exporter, which would be used to provide a panel based menu (OS X style). Have you configured this or installed the necessary Qt component in the past?

IIRC, I tried the setting once out, to see what it does. However, I never installed a panel or any package to actually have a menu in that style.

Okay, please confirm it is set to off.

Are any other KDE applications affected by this issue? Taking a closer look, it would seem that the globally provided Settings menu items are the ones which are missing.

bcooksley wrote:Okay, please confirm it is set to off.

Yes, it is. Just switched it back and forth to top-screen and in app -> no change.

Didn't notice any missing entries in other apps so far.

This might sound stupid, but did you try re-installing the application? Also remove ~/.kde4/share/config/kgetrc again when you do that.
But I'm just guessing around here.

If that doesn't have any effect, does it appear correctly under a new user?
Have you attempted to self-compile or otherwise install KGet from sources outside your distribution's primary release repositories?

Hello,
yes, I tried reinstalling, no effect.

Yes, it works under another user (as I wrote above .

No, I haven't self compiled packages or packages from any other sources than my distro repo.

I noticed now, that there also some menus missing in rekonq also.


So what can I do, delete my .kde folder?
