hi,

in kde 4.6, under system settings -> notifications, all of the options are disabled. (disabled = faded out options that can't be interacted with) How do I enable them?

If kernel configuration is a possibility, I will post the information for the kernel. Same thing for any other information. just ask.

does the following help:

/var/log/kdm.log
klauncher(2434) kdemain: no Dbus session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
kdmgreet(2393) (K*TimeZone*): kSystemTimeZones: ktimezoned initialize() D-Bus call failed: "Not connected to D-Bus server"

solved
