As @eppesuig has said, the environment variable DESKTOP_SESSION may tell you the currently running session. But that doesn't mean it is the only – or even normal – Desktop environment in use on that system. I usually use GNOME3, but sometimes I boot into KDE or Enlightenment. If the point of this is to select a desktop-specific GUI package for ...

As xenoterracide correctly suggested my KDE profile was messed up by a system upgrade. So simply do a backup of your KDE profile and restart KDE, then you can restore your configuration by hand. Maybe it is obvious but for a complete answer i'll write operations I made.(I use a gentoo distro). Go to a console Ctrl+Alt+F2 Login as user stop KDE with ...

QtCurve is a theme engine, not a theme in and of itself, although it does come with a default set of themes. The themes are just text files that define how you want each component to look, e.g., the scroll bar, etc. If you go to the KDE settings page for Application Appearance -> Style, you can see if QtCurve is installed by seeing if it is listed in the ...

That doesn't make any sense. The process list must be the one after a umount (including all processes belonging to your user account). Then /media/Panp9 does not refer to the external disk any more but to your root volume. What is the output of ls -l /media/Panp9 in such a situation? Check mountpoint /media/Panp9, too.

“Most of these seem to be various bids of Nepomuk.” But you killed all of them, not just the Nepomuk ones. So some other process must have been caught in the fray — presumably one critical to KDE, without which the window manager or the session manager crashed, possibly the window manager or the session manager itself. If you haven't logged back in, check ...

You should be able to choose the language at the login screen. If not, open a terminal (you can use Alt+F2 to get the run dialog) and run (source): echo -e 'LANG="en_US\nLANGUAGE="en_US:en"' | sudo tee /etc/default/locale echo -e 'LANG=en_US\nLanguage=en_US' > ~/.pam_environment Then log out and log back in again. EDIT (in response to the OP's ...

Q: what are these guy supposed to do anyways? Q: what would I loose when I got rid of them? I'd never heard of either of these myself. I found this page that shows a screenshot of a KDE dialog along with check boxes to disable them. These 2 apps are providing search capabilities for files by indexing the files on your hard drive. Personally I'd just ...
