The KDE 4.6 beta 2 issues thread

It seems that I got it fixed. It was a completely unrelately issue. I just erased all the contents of the /tmp directory. After /tmp was cleaned up, the issue appeared. Exiting and starting KDE again fixed the issues.

this workaround (alt+f2 to open krunner, then click on settings) seems to have quieted things here with the new pim.

Is anybody else having a problem accessing their inboxes with the new Kmail?

New k3b release (2.0.2) should have fixed any problem with k3b still requiring HAL

Changelog (since 2.0.1) Changes * Added K3B_ENABLE_HAL_SUPPORT option to the build configuration. It allows to disable any direct calls to HAL (253388) * Using Oxygen sounds for events (242395) Bugfixes * Crash on start when checking device capabilities (246822) * Search paths on "Programs" options are not saved (248648) * Crash on generation of DVD previews in DVD ripping list (249941, 253639) * Crash on closing dialog after succesful audio CD ripping (241630) * Crash on device detection (249371) * Crash when showing settings window (238819) * Fixed playlist sort order (249395) * Show K3b also in "System" category in KDE launch menus (250749) * Crash when multiple instances start at the same time (253794) * Crash after track splitting (261188) * Inline editing of tracks in CD ripping view no longer works (250600)

yes, alien's latest git versions were working fine here (no hal).
seems like they also fixed the solid backend in kdelibs, because other programs like k9copy and kaudiocreator started working again.

The version of K3b "f0687a7_20110105git" that I have in the 4.5.95 directory of my ktown repository has no issues at all with HAL. It works fine if you completely switch HAL off. It is essentialy equal to the 2.0.2 release, minus a few commits.

I just tried k9copy and its fine again. I've never used kaudiocreator but it fired up as well.

I use 6 virtual desktops. They used to be "stacked" 3 on 3. Now, they are in single-file on the taskbar. The cube no longer flips on certain desktops, and it just rotates through the virtual desktops. Also, that only works when clicking on the the little squares. The keyboard combo no longer works when cycling through the desktops.
