[gentoo-user] KDE-4.6 upgrade - no applications
For anyone who has a stable machine, upgrades KDE as per the release from last night and finds, like me, that they had no applications in the applications menu, the command kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental run from the user account should help you get running again. Cheers, Mark

Did you have to run this after a reboot, or is it only necessary if you do not reboot the machine? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

You only need to run it if the Applications menu is empty after the upgrade as mine was. I was in KDE, did the upgrade, logged out and back in, the menu was empty. I rebooted. The menu was empty. I used a different machine to go find the command and then executed the command on the upgrade machine and the menus were recreated. It took me a while to dig out the command from the Gentoo docs. It was there if you read carefully. I'm just quite sleepy today so it took longer than it should of and I didn't want others to panic like I did after the upgrade and before I found the command.

Thanks, I've had the same thing happen 2 or 3 times in the past and I always struggle to remember exactly what it was supposed to be.
