Error setting up interprocess communications for KDE Could not read network connection list /home/fredw/.DCOPserver_linux__0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running Using Knoppix, I get permission failures when I attempt "ls -a" or "ls -l" in my home directory. I will try to get a copy of the "startx" startup log entries as they seem to have more detailed information about the failure. -- Fred Wright fawright-at-earthlink-dot-net --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
