[SOLVED] kmail and system settings will not run.

[Guest]

They attempt to start up, and then just disappear. If kmail is started from a command line, this is what you see:

The command line does not return from a prompt, and the KDE bug catcher comes up. When I try to submit a bug, it sites several duplicates, claiming it is the fglrx driver. This makes very little sense, as it was working fine until updates on wednesday. Eitherway, if anybody knows how I can restore these 2 apps, I'd greatly appreciate it.

this all worked until Wednesday, 12 of may.

Re: kmail and system settings will not run.

Let's first eliminate the possibility that the upgrade 'missed' something.

Run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install

Re: kmail and system settings will not run.

Thanks, I tried that earlier in the week and no go, just tried again, same thing.
Interesting thing is though, apt informed me of some leftover dependencies, so I ran apt-get autoremove, and now both kmail and system settings are now working, so whatever was broken is now gone.

Either way, problem solved, thanks for your time.

Glad that you got it sorted out - that's all that counts.
