please guys, help me, im begging u, i dont want to use windows anymore, but i cant go online on linux, please help, and thanks a lot for ur time!

It would help if you explained more about how your Internet connection is set up:

Is a modem connected to this machine, or do you use another machine on the LAN as a gateway? What kind of modem is it, and what protocol does it use to connect? What kind of connection is this (dial-up, cable, (A)DSL, IDSN, satellite, wireless)?

Do you have a firewall running? (Is port 80 possibly blocked by the firewall)?

Are you running (or do you need to run) a proxy server?

Did you in fact check that dcopserver is running (since no matter what the situation here is, apparently KDE thinks it needs it)?

Have you tried this under another WM/DE such as IceWM, Xfce, GNOME or any other WM you might have installed, as the error you quoted appears to be particular to KDE?

hye
 

ok, im running DSL, thru a router, which has a firewall, but i never had a problem with it, im not running proxy... and no i didnt check if dcopserver is runnig, in fact ill try it right now, and no i didnt try any other WM/DE because i istallend linux yesterday, and i dont know much about it... thnaks for your help!

internet works
 

Ok, it seems like I got the Internet to work for now. What I did is, I changed the Install ipv6, and then I went on my router, and I added port 80 to my firewall list, so it wouldn't block it. It works for now, but I don't know for how long.

And the other problem. I checked if DCOPserver is running, and I got this:

I hope someone could help me, thanks a lot and see ya all later :)

Well, DCOPserver is part of kdeinit. So, not knowing if it's running correctly or not, most likely the easiest way to stop and start it would be to log out of KDE and back in (this should not disrupt your network connection).

If the server won't start properly, then delete the file listed... in root's home directory.... oh, no, wait just a minute.

Are you running your computer normally as root??? With a DE, no less???

This is very unwise and extremely insecure. Please, when you log out, log back in as a normal user, and learn the usage of the su command, which allows you to run any command on the system with root privileges.

yes
 

But I cannot log in as a normal user, cuz then I get that error, thats why i posted it here. Everytime I make a new user, I cannot log onto it, because i get that error... so is there some other way ?

is there some other way to make a new user, than useradd?

Ok, when I try to log in as an user, I get this:


And then another window that says this:

Please help, I do not want to log on as a roo all the time. Thank You.

OK guys i got this to work... thanks for ur time

Please post the details of how, for the benefit of others who may have the same problem in the future.

Thanks, and congrats!

ok
 

Ok, so what I did was. First I deleted all the users that were made before, and then I went to: YaST, and I went to Security and Users, and there I added new users, was too simple to think about lol... ok thanks for your help guys :)
