Hello SuSE people,
Adding to my own message for clarification and more clues for the Guru's on this list.
Need to get rid of the following message from kdesktop everytime I log in as a user.
"Could not start process. Unable to create io slave. Klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'devices'"
There are two other users who do not get this message.
This started after a new install of 9.2 and I restored my old desktop setting from a previous distro (8.2) which removed the "My Computer" icon.
This has to be where it broke. I am the one that broke this in my own home directory: because the other two users do not have this problem. (did not restore their old desktop settings)
I may be wrong but I think it has something to do with the subfilesystem in 9.2 Thought that adding/restoring the icon would fix the error message, The My Computer icon was restored thanks to the help of list member Ken Schneider, but the error message remains.
After asking on the list Anders stated that I needed kdebase3-extra. I installed that and it worked because I did not get the message anymore but it filled my desktop with icons of all of my drives. The other two users are perfectly normal. What is puzzling is that their desktops worked as expected before the kdebase3-extra was installed, and now after installation of the kdebase3-extra their desktops remain normal. Only mine acts this way. Has to be something to do with the original My Computer being removed from my desktop, some kind of broken link or something. What do you all think guys ?? Bob S.
