Bug Description

I've updated from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 8.10 rc. I use Gnome (ubuntu-desktop installed). The update has removed Kcontrol. To replace it, I installed systemsettings with Synaptic.

But when I launch systemsettings, its window is empty. There's just the search box to the top and the button (not clickable) of the global view, nothing else.

Confirming.
systemsettings should depend on kdebase-workspace-bin at the least so that configuration modules are actually installed.

In the meantime you can install kdebase-workspace-bin to work around the issue.

I've installed kdebase-workspace-bin via Synaptic but this hasn't solved the problem. systemsettings is still empty.

You might need to either log out/back in or run kbuildsycoca4 from the console before systemsettings will be populated.

Log out/back in didn't solved the issue, but run kbuildsycoca4 from the console solved the problem. Thanks a lot.

The bug I reported (296023) was marked as a duplicate, but is not a problem with an empty/unpopulated systemsettings; my problem is that systemsettings is populated with a relatively useless subset of settings. I cannot configure keyboard or mouse behavior for kde-based programs.

I have the following icons in the "General" tab:
Look & Feel:
Appearance, Notifications
Personal:
Default Applications, Regional & Language
Network & Connectivity:
Network Settings
Computer Administration:
Sound

That was because by default in Kubuntu 8.10, the systemsettings package was rather empty unless you installed kdebase-workspace-bin, bringing in the entire KDE desktop.

This has since been fixed in Kubuntu 9.04. In Kubuntu 9.04 systemsettings comes with a number of core configuration modules, now including the Mouse & Keyboard module.
