[Bug 369586] [NEW] systemsettings does not load, runs HDD & hangs whole PC.

[Alan Weeks]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

using ubuntu v9.04

apt-cache policy systemsettings
systemsettings:
  Installed: 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2 0
        500 cdrom://Kubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386 (20090420.1)jaunty/main Packages
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I want access to the overall system settings.

systemsettings, either by menu or terminal, starts HDD running for many minutes, increases swap file to near maximum but never actually stops or produces anything.
I find it necessary to turn off PC & restart manually.

For those who have this bug, it's a significant problem!

Even a workaround would be most acceptable!
