What is /tmp/kde-<username>/?
What is /tmp/kde-<username> and how is it created?
For example, there is /tmp/kde-root/
This directory contains log files from Konqueror crashes and 2 other files, ksycoca and ksycocastamp.
I need to know because I am attempting to run mysqlnavigator
I had installed the rpm on RedHat 9.
Instructions (http://sql.kldp.org/mysql/doc/mysqlnavigator.htm ) say to find mysql.sock, which i find in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Then instructions say to type:
#ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/kde-msyql/ksycoca
but I do not have /tmp/kde-msyql/ksycoca, I have only /tmp/kde-root/ksycoca
i tried this but it doesnt do anything
#ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/kde-root/ksycoca
ln: `/tmp/kde-root/ksycoca': File exists
The db is running and i have create group:user mysql:mysql
I tried creating /tmp/kde-mysql/ myself , but get the same result as with /kde-root/
/tmp/kde-username is the username's temp directory for KDE stuff.
The default location is in the users .kde directory but usuall created as a link to the above location.
I don't know why your program wants you to overwrite a non-related file but you can try to remov the already existing ksyscoca file and then continue with the link procedure.

hmmm...i created the group:user mysql:mysql via command line in a bash shell. So i guess kde doesn't know about this group:user If I add a group:user mysql:mysql in KDE, will this be distinct from the first group:user i created?
You can only create a user once.
If it exists it doesn't matter how you try to create it the second time.
if you create the user account on the commandline and do not login into KDE as this user, it won't have KDE specific entries in /tmp

oh, now i understand...thanks
How does ksycoca get created?
i have a /tmp/.kde-mysql/ directory, but it doesn't have the file ksycoca
Good!
You want to create a link with that name.
If it would exist, it would lead to the same situation you had before.
