Hi all, I am new to the list as well as being fairly new to Linux, and I would appreciate if someone can help me with this trouble: Suddenly Konqueror refuse to handle htlm web sites. When I try to open a web site, a message pops up asking if I want to save on disk or open it with Konqueror (this message never appeared before). If I select "open" an error message arises saying that it seems to be a bad configuration because Konqueror can't handle text/html files. On the other side I have tried as root and it works perfectly. it seems to be something with the configuration of the Konqueror has become corrupted, but only for my usual user name, and not for the root. As for the htlm files stored on disk, I can open they without any difficulty. (?). Thanks, Toni

I had this probem with Suse8. Along with so many others that I had to go back to 7.3 . - -- If all the world's economists were laid end to end, we wouldn't reach a conclusion. -- William Baumol -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj0fKmgACgkQnQ18+PFcZJvKawCfezv79kjTciuuex8SJAyhXnDL pHEAniXdzfVg++eaXoOb/gvQAlT70Myk =xEHi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

You don't have to fall back to 7.3...but I could suggest doing an update via YOU to get KDE 3.0.1 which fixed quite a problems. Also do this... 1. If your using the default GUI login..we need to turn that off for a few by doing this. A. At the login screen type ctrl+alt+f2 which should get you to a plain login prompt. B. Log in as root and type this .. rcxdm stop .. which will stop GUI login. It will drop you back to console one so just type alt+f2 again to get back to console 2. Then logout of that console and type alt+f1 to be at console 1 again. C. Please log in as yourself. Then do the following. 1. cd /tmp 2. rm -rf kde-<username> ksocket-<username> mcop-<username> 3. cd in your home directory. 4. rm -rf .mcop* and then in .kde you need to remove socket-<your machines name> and tmp-<your machines name> After doing the above just type startx which will of course start X for you...I hate KDM which is what that GUI login is. It's a KDE process and X process and if they "forget WTF they are doing" it can be hell on you. Anyway. Try Konq again and see what happens. This should clear her up. If it doesn't then it may just be a config file that's messed up and since that would take to long to figure out by email tag..do this as yourself in your own home directory after loging back out of KDE. mv .kde KDE-BACK This will move the config directory so that KDE when restarted can write a fresh set of configuration files. If this doesn't fix it. Something else is wrong. Mainly because I have too many people in the office and friends outside of the office running 8.0 and it seems fine. So make sure you follow the above directions and update KDE 3.0.1 which was a big maintence release that fixed a great many things.
