This is not database related. You have a problem with hardware detection using 
HAL. The KDE framework "Solid" uses HAL on Linux to detect which hardware is 
available on your laptop. HAL is freedesktop.org software running as a daemon 
and reachable via DBus.
Now when on your machine Solid tries to contact HAL, there is 
an "Error.Disconnected". Please check your HAL and DBus setup.
