Hi folks,<br><br>I'm a bit of a n00b, but I RTFM'd to the best of my ability. As testament to my n00bness, I only just learned that if you've got a remotely mounted directory, you can't access it when you're superuser (even with sudo, even read-only). I think this may be contributing to my dbus woes.<br>
<br>The symptom is that I cannot start kde4 (on Kubuntu-8.04). Neither can any of the other computers in my lab, as long as we're remote-mounting our home directories (NFS, ldap authenticated). It works fine if we turn off NFS and use local homes. kde3.x works, as do gnome and icewm.<br>
<br>Is there a way to get dbus to read from and write to /tmp instead of ~? I recognize that this may not solve my KDE problem, but I figure it's at least one step in that direction.<br><br>Cheers,<br>John<br><br>PS: The relevant bug report is at:<br>
