Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2007 7:23 pm Post subject: [solved] Create New Folder, others missing in kde desktop... |
|
|
In kde 3.5.6, right-clicking on the desktop or in konqueror does not bring up the option to create a new folder (or anything else, for that matter) in the context menu. The only option is Create New -> Link to device, and nothing else. Any ideas to where these options may have disappeared, and how I can get them back?
Thanks
*edit- I should also note that these options are missing in konqueror under the Edit menu. Also, this happens for ALL users on the system, including root.

Did you accidentaly do sthg recently that might have messed up config files or anything? U emerged the whole kde or just picked some of the split ebuilds? |

I can't think of anything that I might have done that would cause this. For all intents and purposes it is the whole kde; not actually kde-meta, but most of the apps that would pull in. I don't think I have installed anything new that would do this. I am currently re-emerging kdelibs to see if that does anything; I've already re-emerged kioslaves and kdesktop, which did nothing. |

Try dispatch-conf to see if there are any pending config files that need updating and then revdev-rebuild to check for broken deps.
Also try logging in as a different user (or kdesu konqueror) to see if there is any difference |

Hey,
I have done both already (and just now again) and nothing. Keep the ideas coming, though! |

Nope, not even then. (I added that to the original post). I have tried as myself, another user, and root, and none work. |

Nope, I did emerge kdebase-startkde, and then built on top of that with whatever I needed. I'm pretty sure startkde provides kdesktop and konqueror and definitely kdelibs, which seem to be the likely culprits (and which I am currently emerging). |

Strange problem. Two thoughts:
Did you try making a new user, so as to get .kde* totally unaffected by the former setup?
In my experience kdelibs can be picky compiling. Have you tried disabling ccache during compile? |

It seems that emerging kdelibs, kdesktop, and konqueror fixed the problem. After hours of searching, it seems that this behavior is hardcoded into the kdelibs code, so I must have done something to screw it up. So, if anyone else has this problem, try re-emerging these. |
