Symptoms:
-Konqueror does not show 'any icons' when trying to view files or folders locally



-It then crashes after a few seconds
-Error Code in Konsole:

--No icons show in preview in Desktop/File Manager
--No icons show in preview in all icons
**Regardless of which icon theme I select

Resolution:
-Tried to apt-get reinstall kdebase = same results

Support Request Filed at the following forums
-Linuxquestions
-Ubuntuforums

UPDATE: I have managed to get a workaround to work. It's pretty lame really and takes at least two extra clicks to make it work:

1. In Konqueror click Settings > Load View Profile > File Management
2. From there I could browse my files

UPDATE 2 BETTER SOLUTION: A better solution was offered by Kuja in Ubuntuforums:

1. Created a new user:
adduser [newuser name]

2. After creating new account I logged out and restarted the PC
3. I then logged on the new account
4. Encountered Error

Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.


Solution:

1. Changed Permissions
chmod 660 /dev/dsp
gpasswd -a audio
