You are using a new computer with a new OS, one you are not familiar with. You removed three software components, that you have *no idea* what they do or why they were installed or what other software relies on them, without checking with people who are familiar with your OS. And then immediately after removing them, most of your browsers stopped working. Must be a coincidence. > The only thing that I have changed is to remove non-free and contrib > from the lines in my sources.list, since networking has worked fine > without any non-free software. Well that's not true, is it? You removed at least three packages, or possibly just deleted the files, it isn't clear. And then installed a whole lot of new browsers, and their dependencies. What else has changed? Have you run any updates? Or auto-updates from the OS? Reinstalled packages? Deleted something else? > And by the way, this is not, strictly speaking, off-topic, because it probably > concerns tdenetworkmanager, or something like that. If you can send email, and you can, and at least one browser continues to see the internet, and it does, then it is not a network issue. > Everything else that I've tested, so far, works okay.

Please copy and paste the command you use, and **all** the output. (Not all programs send error messages to the console when launched from the command line, but many of them do.) Have you looked at your logs for error messages? -- Steve ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
