Bug 18062 – kmess 1.1 ebuild does not place an entry in the K menu

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Simon Farnsworth 2003-03-23 17:52:21 UTC]

After emerging kmess, I check the Internet submenu of the K menu, and I cannot 
find an entry for kmess. 
 
Looking on disc, the only entry is in /usr/share/applnk/Internet, which does not 
appear to be read by KDE 3.1 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kmess 
2. Check Internet submenu of KDE 3.1 for the entry 
Actual Results:  
Entry could not be found in menu 

Expected Results:  
Left an entry for kmess in the K menu

this works well here, did you correctly emerge kde-env? 

[Comment 2 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2003-04-24 15:57:54 UTC]

Also check that the file is readable

[Comment 3 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-05-12 10:08:07 UTC]

Like the earlier noted remarks say, it sounds like an environment bug (kde-env).  Check your 
setup to make sure that's working okay.
