Well that's not true, is it? You removed at least three packages, or
possibly just deleted the files, it isn't clear. And then installed a
whole lot of new browsers, and their dependencies.
What else has changed?
I did not remove these packages; I removed those programs that were calling
these processes. I searched apt-get for anything with them, found some things
that I could get rid of, and uninstalled those packages, so that they would
not cause these processes to run.
Have you run any updates? Or auto-updates from the OS? Reinstalled
packages? Deleted something else?
No auto updates or auto anything. I like to do everything with my own two
reasonably clean hands.
If you can send email, and you can, and at least one
browser continues
to see the internet, and it does, then it is not a network issue.
Everything else that I've tested, so far,
works okay. I can connect to
the internet, I can send and receive emails, I can download stuff.
Right. So its not a tdenetworkmanager issue.
Please copy and paste the command you use, and **all** the output.
Did that. See the other email.
(Not all programs send error messages to the console when launched from
the command line, but many of them do.)
Have you looked at your logs for error messages?
