• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Marijn Schouten (RETIRED) 2007-05-27 13:51:52 UTC]

I just upgraded to kde 3.5.7 and I can't open new konqueror windows anymore. Well, they open somewhat, but aren't usable for anything. Starting from konsole results in:

running "kbuildsycoca" as non-root seems to have fixed the issue...

[Comment 2 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-05-27 14:34:53 UTC]

As the user running KDE, indeed. Please restart KDE *after* updating and then try again. If something like this still happens *then*, file a bug, please.

I'm adding a postinst message about this, though, to avoid more confusion. :-)
