Concerning the konqueror error: After I clicked throughthe initial window another appeared saying: Couldn't save bookmarks in /home/bmike1/.kde/ konqueror/bookmarks.xml. Permission denied. And after I clicked : Protocol not supported file After was clicked this time a konqueror window appeared that was grayed out. --original message-- I booted my system this morning and I am told that there is no write permission to the home directory. SO I load thr root directory, check permissions -1- and I check fstab -2- (everything appears to be in order). After this I attempt tp load kmail, konqueror and mozilla -3-. Mozilla does not load, and konqueror and kmail give rerrors. Konquerors error even gave a popup window: There was an error setting up inter process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connections list. /home/bmike1/.DCOPserver_havens1__0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running. You know, when I reloaded my system I didn't set it up tp start any servers. Could that be the problem? If so how would I go about getting it to start at set up? Any advise would be appreciaated! -1- root@0[root]# ls /mnt/hda4 -l total 32 drwxrwxrwx 55 bmike1 bmike1 4096 2006-04-21 20:45 bmike1 drwxr-xr-x 16 1002 1004 4096 2006-03-25 18:45 bmike101 drwx------ 2 bmike1 root 16384 2004-06-30 16:32 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 bmike1 root 4096 2005-03-27 20:07 Mark drwxr-xr-x 3 bmike1 root 4096 2006-02-21 20:18 onthego -2- /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1 /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4 ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0 none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 # Dynamic entries /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0 /dev/sdb1 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0 /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 -3- root@0[root]# su bmike1 bmike1@0[root]$ kmail trying to create local folder: Permission denied failed to create /home/bmike1/.kde/socket-havens1/ kdeinit: Aborting. $HOME directory (/home/bmike1) does not exist.
