Could not read network Connection list
Hi All. I have searched Gogle for this problem and although this question has been asked many times, it seems like it has never been answered. My KDE on my OBSD 3.6 box has always been working fine. Suddenly today i get this on login: Could not read network connection list: /home/user/.DCOPserver_servername_clientname_0 Please chech if dcopserver is runing. Some have suggested doing chmod, chown and a host of other things on the home dir. None make sense to me since i have not changed anything on my box since i got it set up and KDE has been working without fail for 3 months. I am still a relative newbie and i do not know what other info to add. If there is anything anyone needs to see, i will supply. Thanks.

Re: Could not read network Connection list
OK Hold everything. I'm not sure why, but my PF firewall seems to have something to do with this. (Goodness knows how, it's been working all ths time). All I can think is that I made some config error that is only causing me problems now. Not sure. In any case, my next little project will be to go through pf.conf with a fine tooth comb until I find the error. Thanks to all who replied. Cheers. -Original Message- From: Marius Van Deventer - Umzimkulu Sent: 22 August 2005 12:12 PM To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Could not read network Connection list Hi All.

The best tool for debugging pf.conf is tcpdump, as described in pflogd(8). Make sure any 'drop' rules include the 'log' keyword, then: Display the logs in real time (this does not interfere with the operation of pflogd): # tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0 (you don't need to run pflogd to do this). This tells you which packets are dropped, and which rule caused them to be dropped. If you don't already have something like 'pass quick on lo0' near the start of your PF ruleset, you might like to add it.

Re: Could not read network Connection list
Have you edited yours or system profile to setup your DISPLAY variable? Setting of the variable could be causing this like it did for me. Hope this helps.

Actually, as of 3.7 set skip on lo0 is the preferred method of
bypassing pf on loopback.
It's not preferred enough that /usr/src/etc/pf.conf mentions it yet.
