Qt: Session Control Error

Question

I recently changed the host name of my computer, and now every time I run the qt program, I get a message that says

_IceTransSocketUNIXConnect: unable to connect to non-local host [My old hostname]

Qt: Session Control Error: Could not open network socket

But the program is still working fine. It just starts up slowly. I am using ubuntu 9.04. Any idea how I can solve this problem?

Answer 1

I suspect you have an old session that is being stored by your window manager (usually GNOME or KDE), which is still referencing the previous hostname (dev3).

. KDE "~$USER/.kde/share/config/session/". , ~$USER/.kde/(cache|socket|tmp)-$hostname, . , Linux/BSD , , .

GNOME. find ~$USER/ -name "*session*" .
