Same error, running the live CD (Kubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10, Desktop) on an old machine. I also get it with the Dapper Drake 6.0.6.1 live CD, although also with other error messages there.
Can't get a screenshot off the machine, but it's a standard grey popup error box, with the red 'X' on the left. Headed 'Error - KDesktop' and the 'The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly' message inside the box. Behind that is the normal desktop with the usual icons, Konqueror etc. Only difference is if I click 'OK', there's no option to install (or examples) on the desktop. -- Kde error message on kubuntu: "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly" https://launchpad.net/bugs/70240 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
