All > I did was a simple upgrade. It is conceivable that an upgrade broke something, but that's not how your emails set out the chain of events. According to the emails you sent earlier, you spotted some unexpected entries in top, removed a bunch of packages until those entries went away, and only then, did the browsers stop working. Earlier you suggested that the unwelcome entries in top "seem to have been dragged in when I trying to get tork-trinity working". If those libraries were dependencies of tork-trinity, why did you remove them? Over the course of these threads, you have said that you have reinstalled the OS multiple times, "and had already pruned everything that seemed to be the cause", you have copied over the preferences from your old desktop, you forcefully removed packages that were marked as hard dependencies with dpkg --prune --force-all, and who knows what else you have done. You have made so many changes to what *was* a working system, it doesn't surprise me that things are not working correctly. I am not an expert on the detailed internals of how gtk+ libraries are dynamically linked with applications, but given that your browsers are working correctly under xfce now, I think it would be worth logging out, logging back in to TDE, and see if they work again. And if they do work now, for pity's sake, stop removing packages! -- 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
