kfind crushes!!
 

i have mandrake 10.1 and i noticed that in some searches (file:/usr) for example it crashes. when i make the same search from konqueror (tools->find file) everything is ok.

Does anyone have a solution? thanks and please be specific cause i am newbie.

When it "crushes" ( or crashes, I assume. :) ), does it say anything or give any outputs?
open up a terminal and run

It will open kfind and just do a normal search. If and when it crashes, it should have some kind of output in the terminal. Please copy/paste that and maybe we can see what's going on.

i tried that but the only message i get in terminal is "killed".

What if you ran kfind as root.
Open up your console

Does the same thing happen?

And for curiousity, try booting into gnome, or another GUI and see what happens.

I have the same problem and this is what I got
The kfind froze, I right clicked and forced it to close after a while. But no error message came up after I closed it.

this is my terminal outpu when i run kfind:

these are the konsoloe error messages when it crushes:
