I had the same problem after a clean installation of Hardy. After googling a lot a found the solution was:
cd /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged ln -s ../kde-applications-merged/kde-essential.menu . It seems that some program is searching for kde-essential.menu at the wrong place ;-) -- kcontrol is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
