Hello Wolfgang, There is a good chance that this is a SELinux problem, so if you have the SELinux enabled (enforcing) try to temporarly disable it (under KDE this is under the 'Administration' menu 'Firewall and SELinux'). Set it to permissive or disabled. If this works, then is possible that you need to do a 'relabeling' of your filesystem (only if you need to have the SELinux enabled). The easiest way to do it is: on a terminal as root enter the following: # touch /.autorelabel then reboot your computer. HTH best regards Teo Fonrouge
