“Cannot talk to klauncher” in Gnome

   By chris on March 26th 2008 in /dev/random | 557 views

If, under Ubuntu, you’re running Gnome and you get this error with any of your installed applications (such as Amarok, Quanta, etc.):

Cannot talk to klauncher

this ought to fix the problem:

:~$ dcopserver_shutdown
:~$ kdeinit

At least it worked for me.

    thanks, this sorted out the klauncher nicely for amarok in gnome in ubuntu 8.04
    to get it happening at login add dcopserver and kdeinit as ’startup programs” in Sessions via System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs.
    cheers
