Additional comments: I was trying to understand why (after a crash in update-notifier-kde, which I - sadly - did not capture any traces of), I could not get the desktop to shutdown og log off, when I came across the problem reported above. I had to do a manual "sudo shutdown -h now". After applying the above fix, log off and shutdown worked again. This made me describe "update-notifier-kde" as hanging.
However, I now remember that I had also fixed some configuration problems in the Akonadi server and Nepomuk. Basically, Nepomuk was not started for some unknown reason, but disabling and reenabling it made it work again. Also, the Akonadi server had problems with the mysql configuration - because I had copied the configuration from another computer under a different login name. Manually changing the configuration made it work again. Perhaps such changes could also explain why logoff and shutdown from the desktop now works again? I'm not sure. -- update-notifier-kde hangs due to missing check of presence of options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477941 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
