Will Google any other issues :)

As personthingy mentions, sharing issues and asking questions locally first often gets the solution. I spent a while digging around my system trying to work out why your session manager was different to mine, when a quick google for me showed the problem to be gdm vs kdm. I learnt something as well. :)

Post back with your alternative Konqueror file manager findings, as this could be interesting to others.

I have enquired at fedoraforum (forums.fedoraforum.org/) about the error I am getting with Konqueror and any help with changing file manager.... so far no reply :(

In case you are wondering, here is the error:

The application Konqueror (konqueror) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).

I can reproduce it by opening a couple of instances of Konqueror at once or opening one instance immediately after another instance has shut down. It usually happens when I open system (shortcut on desktop) and then click on any one of the other shortcuts (eg Remote Places)

On a side note: is there no supported download for Macromedia Shockplayer for Linux?
I have Flashplayer, but a site I went to tonight said I had a missing plugin for Firefox

As for flash stuff... you running FC3 or 4?
MEPIS came with all that as part of the distro, i would have expected FC4 to be the same.

368685 2005-07-04 10:25:00 FC4 :) Myth (110)
368686 2005-07-04 10:51:00 FC4 :)
There is a linux - flash - plug in thing.
Mine was preinstalled.
I'd be tempted to just upgrade firefox in total. Hopefully this will also upgrade the plugins. Its unlikely to hurt.

368687 2005-07-04 11:27:00 Not Flashplayer ... shockplayer.

I have flashplayer alreadyD'oh
i have a tendancy to confuse the 2...

However, same advice, i'd go with the latest firefox, and see how that helps

heres the plugin page, "shockwave - linux" is notable by its absence :(
