<br>installed Gentoo, I kept my /home partition from my previous installation<br>(Kubuntu). The user from my /home partition was 'dad'. Now when I log into<br>KDE as dad, only the Actions items (Log Out, Lock Session,Run Command, Quick
<br>Browser and Bookmarks) show up on the start menu and one menu item in<br>Applications (which does nothing when I click on it). I created another user<br>'dad2' and the full menu shows up (Actions items, and under Applications:
<br>Editors, Internet, Multimedia etc). I deleted the ~.kde directories in dad<br>and restarted KDE but no luck.<br><br>I am relatively certain that this is related to the fact that user 'dad''s<br>/home was already on the system when I installed Gentoo because as mentioned
<br>above, adding a new user seems to bring up a fully functioning KDE. I am<br>relatively confident that the permissions on the relevant KDE directories<br>are set properly (everyone can read). Is this a configuration file problem?
<br>If it is, which configuration file and how do I go about fixig it. It seems<br>like KDE is getting limited information about user 'dad' when it starts up<br>and results in a crippled desktop for user dad.<br><br>I would truly appreciate any help anyone could give me, or any directions
<br>that you could point me to.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Regards,<br>Bill Dika<br><br><br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 2<br>Date: Thu, 18 May 2006 13:12:16 +0200<br>From: Werner Joss <<a href="mailto:werner@hoernerfranzracing.de">

<br><br>Hi Werner:<br><br>Thanks for responding to my post.<br><br>I tried<br><br>"kbuildsyscoca "<br><br>and got the following messages<br>quote<br>kbuildsycoca running...<br><br>Reusing existing ksycoca<br><br>
kbuildsycoca: WARNING: 'kcertpart.desktop' specifies undefined<br>mimetype/servicetype 'application/binary-certificate'<br><br>kbuildsycoca: WARNING: 'katepart.desktop' specifies undefined<br>mimetype/servicetype 'text/x-fortran'
<br><br>kbuildsycoca: WARNING: 'knotify.desktop' specifies undefined<br>mimetype/servicetype 'KNotify'<br>quote<br><br>and then it exits to the shell prompt.<br><br>I tried running<br><br>kbuildsycoca --global<br><br>and got the following messages:
<br><br>quote<br>trying to create local folder /usr/share/config: Permission denied<br><br>Configuration file "usr/share/config/kbuuildsycocarc" not writable<br>Configuration file "usr/share/config/kdeglobals" not writable
<br>Please contact your system administrator<br>quote<br><br>Does local folder in the above message refer to my Home directory? I checked<br>my /usr/share directory and there is no config directory in it. Should I<br>make the /usr/share directory writable by users other than root? Also I have
<br>no /usr/share directory in my Home directory. Should I run 'kbuildsycoca<br>--global as root or am I supposed to run it as a regular user?<br><br>Hope you can help me make sense of this Werner.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>p.s
