I deleted the /root/.local but there is no /root/.config on my system. The other problem was with the spelling of kbuildsyscoca, the second "s" should not be there. The idea was correct though. Found that when I started looking in /usr/bin and fould "kbuildsycoca". Now I'm able to recurse through the folder levels again. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Taylor Linux user #263467 Federal Way, WA
