spacetrooper · 01-01-2005, 11:27 AM

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

Code:

kfind

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

Code:

su
rootpassword
kfind

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

Quote:

[alex@linux alex]$ su
Password:
[root@linux alex]# kfind
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used

kbuildsycoca running...

The kfind froze, I right clicked and forced it to close after a while. But no error message came up after I closed it.
