Yes, but it does not work with the current stable kmail. The new KDEPIM is such a nightmare I do not plan moving to it anytime soon. It screwed up one box that I tried it on and that's enough for me. :-( Did you have any success with proxychains? I am not sure if the problem is related to the tsocks LD_PRELOAD error. I also noticed that when I try to set up a proxy server in Chromium using the 'under the bonnet' tab, I get this: "When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem while launching your system configuration. But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man chromium-browser for more information on flags and environment variables." Trying the command line did not fix it: [4742:4753:1575546819:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(239)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files That's what made me think that something on my system is not set up properly. :-/ These are the libtsocks.so files in my system: # ls -la /lib*/libtsocks.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 13 15:34 /lib/libtsocks.so -> libtsocks.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 13 15:34 /lib64/libtsocks.so -> libtsocks.so.1 # ls -la /lib/libtsocks.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 13 15:34 /lib/libtsocks.so -> libtsocks.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 13 15:34 /lib/libtsocks.so.1 -> libtsocks.so.1.8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42912 May 13 15:34 /lib/libtsocks.so.1.8 # ls -la /lib64/libtsocks.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 13 15:34 /lib64/libtsocks.so -> libtsocks.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 13 15:34 /lib64/libtsocks.so.1 -> libtsocks.so.1.8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42912 May 13 15:34 /lib64/libtsocks.so.1.8 I can't see why it would not load it, unless it should be trying to load the '/lib64/libtsocks.so' instead of the '/lib/libtsocks.so' on an amd64 system? Shall I file a bug? -- Regards, Mick
