Hi Gary. I'm not sure which direction to go at the moment. To restate the
situation. I havn't had Debian Etch booted up for a while, but decided to get
the updates, and there were loads. 1000+ , and more than 711MB, including all
the KDE stuff. I didn't run Konqueror before the updates, or after. I have
Gkrellm installed on most of my distros, and noticed that the Debian Etch one
didn't display the IP address. So I built the Gkrellmip plugin on Etch, and
rather than displaying the correct address 192.168.0.8, it displayed
169.254.187.86. After some messing about with ifconfig, route, and kde
control centres/Internet & Network/Network Settings, someone on the Debian
list suggested removing zeroconf.
This fixed the problem, and Gkrellm now displays the correct address, but
trying Konqueror afterwards I could not get Internet access. Firefox, Opera,
and KDE's console for getting updates using apt-get were working just fine.
Then I tried KDE's superuser file manager, gave the root password, then
changed it to webbrowser mode, and could access the Internet ok.
Kevin suggested creating a new user account, and doing that, Konqueror works
fine in the new account, but renaming kio_httprc, and kioslaverc, then
logging out and back in to KDE has not solved the problem with the original
user account.
I'm not concerned about Kmails mail, or Konquerors addresses on this Debian
Etch install, but I do have a lot of music apps on the desktop. If I do as a
the last resort, what Gerhard suggests, will I lose all my music apps?
Presumably yes.
Sorry. I'm at a bit at a loss as what to do here to fix this problem.
Nigel.
