Personally I'm quite happy to be using FC2 most of the time, but after updates for FC5 I can no longer access my home directory. Double click on it, a couple of mouse pointer bounces, and then it craps out. Nothing. Zilch. Incidentally Konqueror behaves in the same way, but I can open Konsole, And Kmail with no problems. I had this situation last night, then rebooted this FC5 install, and then the home directory opened, but today, no such luck. Apart from this KDE seems to be working ok. I can watch TV on it, Gftp opens ok, and the Superuser filemanager works ok. It appears to be a problem with accessing the "home" directory, and "konqueror". There is a ....sycoca command, but can't remember the syntax, or whether it will fix this problem. Anyone one give me the full command for KDE? It may work or not work, and there are menu items that were there before, and now missing. SELinux is not enabled. Personally I use FC2 on both machines, even though they are no longer supported from Fedora Legacy. Apart from them being slow to boot, there are no problems. Even FC1 still works ok, but I can't say the same for FC3, and FC5. I'm not trying to start any flames here, but from my personal viewpoint FC is getting worse, rather than better. All I want at the moment is to get access to my home directory on FC5, which was accessable before the last lot of updates. Nigel.
