Re: [Mageia-discuss] Icons won't execute

2013-03-01 Thread Paul Simon
Not the Paul Simon, just the third after the singer and late senator from 
Illinois.   Simple Simon was heard many times as well other variants on Simon.  
Actually I'm a retired chemist here in Silicon Valley and worked on magnetic 
recording heads for many years.

Thanks again for the attention!

Clicking icons on the desktop won't execute programs with rare 
execption.
If I run the command from the command line (Konsole), e.g., dolphin,  
the
error message is:

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkio.so.5: undefined symbol:  followed
by various ascii chars.  I think it has gotten down into my cron file 
too.
Any ideas?

  Never mind.  Sorry.  Just rebooted the computer and all is fine now.  
Thanks
  for listening.

I just read this; glad to know all's well.  That message sometimes appears 
where some KDE games are installed, without all the K Desktop Environment 
itself. Simply install KDE to avoid the message.  Regular updates of installed 
system software help, too.

I've spent many pleasurable hours listening to Paul Simon.


  Me too! I grew up listening to Paul Simon.
  Paul, are you THE Paul Simon? Because I just had a geekgasm thinking about 
THE Paul Simon using Linux, and the distro that I contribute to too!
