Fwd: Re: Kubuntu KDE4.1 - Dolphin won't start

Hi Karl,

> Could this be something with permissions...???

I don't know. If it is permissions then you should be able to fix it by running the "chown" command.  

The following "chown" command makes karl the owner of, and karl's login group associated with, all files in the "/home/karl" directory and all its subdirectories:
# chown --recursive karl: /home/karl

Note the "#" prompt so you must do this as root.  To get root in a Kubuntu terminal try "sudo su" at the prompt:
$ sudo su
[sudo] password for karl:
#

Or for Kubuntu I think you should be able to do
$ sudo chown --recursive karl: /home/karl
[sudo] password for karl:

If you run this command in your home directory all your permissions will be fixed.
