I posted this to the Kubuntu reflector yesterday, but so far no one has come up with anything that works to get kate working again :-( So I'm trying here in case someone knows what's going on (it looks like some background KDE process has died): ----- I was editing several things this afternoon, and suddenly, after working fine for ages, kate stopped working. Now when I invoke kate I get this on the console: $ /usr/bin/kate kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-n7dr/ksycoca kio (KTrader): query for KTextEditor/Plugin : returning 4 offers Then nothing more happens :-( Anyone any idea what's going on? I didn't change anything at all between a Kate session that worked and then suddenly having it not work :-( ----- Logging out and back in to restart KDE is a last resort on this machine. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
