Blast! I spoke too soon. |
52 |
|
53 |
This morning same story ... Menus are not present and running |
54 |
|
55 |
$ kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing kbuildsycoca running... |
56 |
kfmclient: ERROR: Couldn't start konqueror from konqueror.desktop: |
57 |
Could not find service 'konqueror.desktop'. |
58 |
|
59 |
brings up the same error. :( |
60 |
|
61 |
There must be a more intelligent fix to this than me booting into KDE |
62 |
every time I want to use a KDE application ? |
63 |
|
64 |
What's up with your KDE menu Phillip? Were you able to make the changes stick? |
