... I have several problems on my both openSUSE 10.2 installation. These problems are just the ones I've found:

- Cannot print using kde applications. It states that the kdeprintd is not started - I've looked for it and it does not exist. ( Firefox does print ) - Kopete doesn't even try to connect to my configured MSN accounts. I've even tried to recompile kdenetwork3-3.5.8 and the results are the same. - The sysinfo:/ on Konqueror does not work correctly - Strange icons... the dvd doesn't appear, etc. - The ftp:/ on Konqueror does not work. - If I insert a USB Pen or DVD there is no popup notifying that a new media has been inserted and, as stated above, it will not be shown on Konqueror's sysinfo:/

It is a OpenSUSE 10.2 installation, containing latest kde-3.5.8 from the build service. I also have a lot of other repositories - mainly from Build Service.

Both my home and work machines are showing the exact same behaviors so, it is not a single machine's problem. What could be wrong? Am I the only one with this problem ? Can anyone help me on this ?

I am having the same problem here. The problem is with kded (or something messing with it?). The workaround I have been using is to execute the following command as the user logged into KDE: kded --check && kded --new-startup

I'm trying with: while true; do kded --check && kded --nofork --new-startup; done This should keep executing the command forever. Do not forget the --nofork I'm also placing it on a .kde/Autostart script until a better workarround/fix appears. Once again, thank you for your help Alvin.

That makes things work from anyway between 5 seconds to 2 hours. Then I have to issue that command again.
