Hi!
I've reinstalled openSUSE 11.1. It's the same KDE-version (4.2.70) and the same Plasma-configuration (~/.kde4/share/config) like before.
But I can't start Plasma because I get the message "ERROR: syntax error".
Running kbuildsycoca4 does not help.

Code: Select all

ERROR: syntax error                                                                                                                         
KCrash: Application 'plasma-desktop' crashing...                                                                                             
sock_file=/home/Jonathan2/.kde4/socket-linux-bwej/kdeinit4__0                                                                               
plasma-desktop(15402): Communication problem with  "plasma-desktop" , it probably crashed.                                                   
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "

It happens during reading the configuration. But it also happens without any plasma-desktop-(applets)?rc.
I've installed kdebase4-workspace-debuginfo but I get the "can't receive debuggin information" message.
What could I do?

Edit:
It was the device-notifier...

It sounds like you could be hitting the bug mentioned at http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/04/gett ... table.html

I found the easiest way around this one is to just uninstall kaffeine until the unstable repo is updated.

I had a look at the .desktop file mentioned in Aaron's blog but couldn't figure out what needed changing. :-$

The value that needs changing is the "Predicate" line. Apparently it is invalid somehow, although I do not know why and it will probably result in a bug report for me at some point. ( I wrote the system settings module that makes editing those easy )
