Here's hoping it works. :-) ttfn John I tried that but it wanted to uninstall lots of different packages in addition to the packages directly related to Konsole. I did manage to get things working by installing some packages that urpmi said it couldn't install. Thanks for your help. Eric I missed the beginning of this thread, but am wondering if it relates to something I sometimes experience. I can open konsole okay, but every now and then there is no login, or whatever e.g. in my case [EMAIL PROTECTED] rosemary]. I close/end the session each time in the same way. I reboot and it fixes it, but wondering why it happens, and whether an update would fix it. Rosemary Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
