Hey, <snip>
problems Joe is complaining about with my Konq 3.0.3 either. I can't even remember the last browser crash I had with Konq, but usually if it does now, one can attribute to a bad coded site. </snip>
Random crashes here. It may run fine for a while, then suddenly crash on any random site, from a behemoth like Slashdot to a simple W3C 4.01 strict/CSS-compliant site like my own Firechild.net. I don't think it's the sites' faults. Though that could be the case sometimes. ;-)
So from what I can tell, the rpms Joe downloaded were bad builds or there is something else amiss in his KDE setup.
Could very well be. Though this happened with both 7.3 (KDE 3.0.0 - 3.0.3) and 8.0 (KDE 3.0.3 - 3.1 Beta 2) using RPMs from SuSE's servers for the official releases and from the KDE server for Betas 1 and 2. And this happens in RedHat and Mandrake running on an entirely different computer. (Ran SuSE on that computer before as well at one time with the same results.) Problem is that it's not just me. The SuSE Usenet group (and other Linux-related newsgroups) is full of posts about Konq crashes. And only Konqueror, not other KDE programs or KDE itself crashing? Actually, I should clarify that... Not counting Beta 1 problems, Konq has almost never crashed when being used as a file browser, or viewing text files embedded, ripping CDs using the Services tab... just when surfing. So it could be my setup. Possibly both of my computers (a 300 Mhz Intel laptop and my daily computer, 800 Mhz AMD Duron desktop) both have some issues with the RPMs? Ah, not looking for an argument :-D, just not understanding how that's possible. Considering how much SuSE works with KDE, I can't see them consistently releasing bad builds (of the stable releases), even if they are slipped into a "Supplementary" directory on the server. Ah, well. Waiting for 8.1 Pro to arrive in the mail (got an e-mail saying it should arrive to me in 10-12 days - woohoo!), and I'll be going back to 3.0.3 with it until the stable 3.1 is released. See if that changes the Konq stability issues I've had...
