Subj : re:Problem with kpackage To : comp.os.linux From : bigrigdriver1L Date : Sun Oct 24 2004 11:09 pm It occasionally happens when a program is interrupted as you did, that a file is left behind with the error condition in that file. Every attempt to run that app thereafter just opens that file and sees the error and locks up. Look though /etc, /home/, especially in the hidden files (especially /home//.kpackage or kde), /tmp, and /var for files ending in ~, .swp, or something like that, and delete them. Then try again. I had a similar problem with login, and found two files in /etc (shadow and password) with such extensions that prevented login. *-----------------------* Posted at: www.GroupSrv.com *-----------------------* .
