Konqueror Problem
I just re-installed my Mandrake Linux 10.1 Pro because I messed up my firefox browser by installing a bunch of extra packages and then I accidentally removed a couple of the wrong packages and couldn't browse the internet (Linux noob here) so I decided that I would solve the problem by reformatting and going through the slow and gruelling process of choosing each and every piece of software I wanted installed. (Keep in mind I had this problem the first time I installed Mandrake.) Konqueror is used to browse folders by default and it is the initial web browser. As before when I insert my jump drive is doesn't automatically mount it and show up on the desktop, however if I have Konqueror open it shows up if I type the address in the url bar (/mnt/removable) Konqueror shortcuts do not open either it gives me an error message(can't remember the exact wording I'm using Windows right now). If I try to open my home folder or some other folder it gives me an error message the it failed to communicate with Konqueror using DCOP. Konqueror only comes up when I try to go to the Mandrake Updates in system config. The last time this error was fixed after I downloaded all of the available updates for my distro of Linux, however right now I'm sharing a 21k dial up connection at my girlfriend's house and will be until I move back on campus the 19th of August. Can anybody tell me if this is a simple bug that I can fix on my own so that I can at least use my Linux until I move back in? I really prefer Linux to Windows and would like to get it up and running. I know that I could use another browser to fix the issue but I would really like to leave Konqueror as the default since it can be fixed instead of leaving the bug present. Help please anyone?
