kde lost connection with local host??

[Gaccm]

If i try to run KDE System Guard, a window pops up saying: "connection to localhost has been lost." I have ksysguardd installed, but if i try to run it, it says "flex scanner jammed" and that's it. The problem is, I don't use flex nor is it installed. I never really messed with this stuff, so i'm a little confused as to why it stopped working.

All I can think of right now is to check to see if /etc/hosts is configured correctly.

For dhcp

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost <your hostname>

For static

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

<static ip address> FQDN hostname
