KDE-Forum.org

Dear all,

The problem I have is that my control panel is empty (kcontrol) and my K menu is empty too.
I upgraded to FC2 yesterday, using yum.
I found pages describing this error, but their "solutions" didn't work for me, I tried:

- copying /usr/share/{applnk,mimelnk,config} to $HOME/.kde/share
- deleting $HOME/.kde and restarting
- running kbuildsycoca --noincremental or just kbuildsycoca
- removing kde packages and reinstalling them

Below I provided some information I thought might be useful. I hope someone can help me.

Thanks,
Jonne.
