I am trying to learn Python but when I tried to start it I got a KDEesktop message: Service 'searchproviders/python. desktop is malformatted. Does anyone know what this mean or how to fix it? TIA.
How are you trying to start it?
Try opening up a Konsole and typing "python".
I opened the Konsole and typed run and python. Then I got the message.
That's not the kind of error message you'll see from Konsole. It sounds like you're doing something else.
Try this:
Hit Alt-F2. A small window will pop up in the middle of your screen. Type "konsole" then press enter. You will see a black window with a prompt. In there, type "python". When you want to exit, hit Ctrl-D.
Thanks! That worked. So I misunderstood Konsole. I thought run would do the same thing without starting a shell window. I am learning more every day. Too much time with windows I guess. Bob
