remember getting something very occasionally that was similar, but a

Now it’s happening every time I launch KMail.
Click KMail button in panel:
“nice -n 2 kmail -caption "%c" %i %m”
:Pop-Up:
Sorry - Kicker
TDEInit cannot launch ‘nice’.
But KMail is nice’d and seem to be working the same as always.
michael@local [~]# pss kmail
NI TIME SZ COMMAND
2 00:00:40 215388 kmail -caption KMail -icon kmail -miniicon kmail
Works for me if I prefix nice -n 2 to my kmail menu button in
Debian Buster with TDE R14.0.9.
Doh! Found it though the questions you asked. (below for posterity)
Attempting to stop KMail from hanging I had changed:
Properties for KMail (Kicker)
Application
Advanced Options
DCOP registration: {to Multiple Instances}
Changing DCOP back to ‘Run Until Finished’ stopped the pop-up.
Thank you!
Best,
Michael
What happens if you run konsole (as you, not root) and
do
“nice -n 2 kmail -caption "%c" %i %m” without the outer quotes?
I should have thought of that :(
michael@local [~/data/trash]# nice -n 2 kmail -caption "%c" %i %m

Oddly it just brings up Composer with no KMail main window. %i and %m are in
the first two To: lines.
michael@local [~/data/trash]# nice -n 2 kmail -caption "%c"
brings up only the main window.
Neither throw the PopUp.
Also which distro and version are you running?

Linux anon 4.19.0-12-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.152-1 (2020-10-18) x86_64
