I have to chuckle when I think back to the Linux, well, I'll call them 
fanboys, that made fun of the Microsoft reboot solution.  

It has worked for me and others a fair number of times.

Maybe more often since GUIs came into vogue.

The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly.

Hi,

After upgrading Jessie to Stretch, using KDE, I am seeing the error message

"The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly."

when opening Dolphin in su mode. No files are shown.

The same happens when invoking Dolphin from a root text console.


This does feature in Google searches, but for dates around 2010, so
unlikely to be relevant.


Has anyone else here encountered this, and maybe found a work-round?


Cheers, Tony
