The problem reported here happened when trying to open an URL with it. Useful infos : I've used zypper dup to upgrade my openSUSE 11.2. I've removed Firefox 3 (which is supposed to be the default application in openSUSE for URL, IRC) and use chromium or Firefox 4 instead. Konqueror is installed, as i'm an old KDE user ;-) It should become the default browser (I haven't change the value by hand). At least, it's called by xdg-open. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Remove Firefox 3 (i think it's important, can't check now) 2.try to open an url with xdg-open (for instance : xdg-open http://www.alionet.org Actual Results: xdg-open seems to fall in an infinite loop. It opens (or seems to open) lots of konqueror instance. What's strange is that i can't find them with ps... and thay don't seem to have an impact on memory or processor use (according to top) Konqueror instances communicate with the kde event manager, however, as i can now when one of the instances succeeded in joining the web server. Reprudicible every time. Expected Results: Web page opened with the default browser, according to the current DE or the Xorg settings. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
