Good day everyone,
First, as always, I issue my newbie preamble. I hereby declare that I'm very green in Linux, etc...
I logged into my user account and opened up a konsole and went into text-mode setup to changed my firewall settings. I typed:
su root then typed my password then typed setup
Once I enter text mode I get a broken pipe error. I therefore cannot get into the firewall settings. If I reboot the machine and try again everything works fine until I try a second time. Then the broken pipe error message once again appears and I cannot use text-mode setup. This is on my home machine. I forgot to look to see if there was spefic information after the broken pipe error before I left for work. The error does not occur in root to my knowledge.
I also had an "octet-stream missing error," which was solved by googling for a solution. The broken pipe information I found was a bit too vague, which is why I'm posting to the list. I would greatly appreciate any clues that would point me in the right direction towards a solution.
Thank you!
Gary
