    Post DCOP Communications error (linux)

    This morning I was being lazy and just wanted to boot indo kde to check a website rather than turn on my other comptuer (I use my linux box headless usually for command line stuff)

    Anyway, I get an error when I try to get into KDE, Gnome, and in Blackbox anytime I use any of the "kprograms" such as terminal.

    Here is the error window's contents

    Code:
    There was some error setting up inter-process communications for KDE.  The message returned by the system was:

Could not read network connection list.
/home/MYUSERNAME/.DCOPserver_dhcppc3_:0

Please check that the dcopserver is running

    The MYUSERNAME was changed by me,a nd the dhcppc3 is given to me by my router.

    This seems to be a somewhat common problem

    Well, I can manage to fix them when I reboot (which is only about once a month)

    edit: Oh, and I did try the old Google search, but I didn't think to put that much in the request.

    Thanks Ranger

    One of those articles said that starting kde as root was the cause of this mess. I guess there must be others though, as I have never (well, not in years) logged into kde as root
