11 Ah, thanks for this! It's reassuring to know that it's not just my system. :-)

18 Firefox is less of a problem for me because I can set it up to
19 socksify everything. It is Kmail that I am mostly interested in.

25 Yes, but it does not work with the current stable kmail. The new
26 KDEPIM is such a nightmare I do not plan moving to it anytime soon.
27 It screwed up one box that I tried it on and that's enough for me.
28 :-(

30 Did you have any success with proxychains?
31
32 I am not sure if the problem is related to the tsocks LD_PRELOAD error.
33
34
35 I also noticed that when I try to set up a proxy server in Chromium
36 using the 'under the bonnet' tab, I get this:
37
38 "When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the
39 system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not
40 supported or there was a problem while launching your system
41 configuration.
42
43 But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man
44 chromium-browser for more information on flags and environment
45 variables."
46
47 Trying the command line did not fix it:
48
49 [4742:4753:1575546819:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(239)] Failed to call
50 method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
51 org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files
52
53 That's what made me think that something on my system is not set up
54 properly. :-/

56
57 These are the libtsocks.so files in my system:
58
59 # ls -la /lib*/libtsocks.so
60 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 13 15:34 /lib/libtsocks.so -> libtsocks.so.1
61 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 13 15:34 /lib64/libtsocks.so -> libtsocks.so.1
62
63 # ls -la /lib/libtsocks.so*
64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 13 15:34 /lib/libtsocks.so -> libtsocks.so.1
65 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 13 15:34 /lib/libtsocks.so.1 ->
66 libtsocks.so.1.8
67 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42912 May 13 15:34 /lib/libtsocks.so.1.8
68
69 # ls -la /lib64/libtsocks.so*
70 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 13 15:34 /lib64/libtsocks.so -> libtsocks.so.1
71 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 13 15:34 /lib64/libtsocks.so.1 ->
72 libtsocks.so.1.8
73 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42912 May 13 15:34 /lib64/libtsocks.so.1.8
74
75 I can't see why it would not load it, unless it should be trying to
76 load the '/lib64/libtsocks.so' instead of the '/lib/libtsocks.so' on
77 an amd64 system? Shall I file a bug?
