Try removing ~/.dcop* and ~/.DCOP* from your old user.

Adding the new user to the "plugdev" group took care of the new user's access to the storage media.

Guess by now you're thinking I'm 3 cans short of a six pack, but haven't a clue as to how to remove

~/.dcop* and ~/.DCOP* from the old user. Know how to remove a file or directory using the "rm" command in the CLI, Is this done in a similar manner

Yes it is, the "*" is just a wildcard to select all files beginning with that name.

Code: Select all

rm -r ~/.DCOP* & rm -r ~/.dcop*

It removed DCOP, but couldn't find dcop to remove.

Now if I try to launch a program from the Panel, it gives me the message :

"Klauncher could not be reached via DCOP"

In fact I can't do anything, switch windows, open a file, start the KMenu, zip, nada, nothing is working

That command should have been done outside of a KDE session, since it will cause communication issues for an existing one. Logging out and back in should fix the problem.
