Fwd: Re: [suse-multimedia-e] k3b dies after displaying logo

Howard, Here is teh solution that worked for me. I have cc'ed the mailling list to get it posted there. Enjoy! ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [suse-multimedia-e] k3b dies after displaying logo Date: Thursday 22 April 2004 15:55 From: Bruce Samhaber <bsamhaber(a)sympatico.ca> To: Dow Hurst <Dow.Hurst(a)mindspring.com> Dow, I tried your suggestion but I get the same messages. I think you are correct that there is some relation to the mcop directory. It turns out, after a call to the SuSE help line, that the solution is to remove the /tmp/mcop-root directory. Note that this also fixed a sound server problem that I had, by removing the / tmp/mcop-user directory for each user in my system. I am new to using the Mailing Lists, should I also post this solution to the list?
