Try using "xterm" instead of "konsole". If it doesn't exist, install it.
Then run "ls -l" and post the result here.

And permissions of the directories seem correct. You could do "ls -la | less" and verify that all files are like these: drwxr-xr-x 1 doug users 3444 May 8 19:42 Downloads - -rw-r--r-- 1 doug users 383 Aug 4 2019 Epson_downloads with none that says "root".

Ok, but it seems that you used it at least once as root. There may be other files owned as root, deeper than the first level, so we have to concoct a "find" command line that searches for them in your home.

Nononono. Let's first find out if there is anything that is not owned by doug before changing it. It gives info about the problem -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Doug, don't do this (yet), and that should be chown -R doug:users /home/doug anyway.

I agree! So: $ find /home/doug/ -not -uid $(id -u doug) -path '/home/doug/.*' -ls Doug, run that. Peruse and prune the output for unwanted stuff, but it should only pick up config-file stuff in ~/.* directories. You might use $ find /home/doug/ -not -uid $(id -u doug) -ls later to find other regular stuff that belongs not to your user, but which you should (and want) probably not mail here... Anyway, KDE5 seems to have moved all its cache files ~/.cache/, wherever that may be, i.e. not only the icon-cache, but also the ksyscoca stuff and more. BTW, with KDE4, e.g. the icon.kcache (along with ksyscoca stuff etc.) was still in /var/tmp/kdecache-${username}/ (via symlinked dirs starting at ~/.kde4/cache-${hostname}). Just be aware of that. -dnh -- A dog thinks: They feed me, they care for me, they caress me. They must be gods. A cat thinks: They feed me, they care for me, they caress me.
