Hi there! I have a problem with Konqueror (File Browser) when logged in as root: when I click on an directory Icon to enter that directory, I get the error message: "There appears to be a configuration error. You have associated Konqueror with inode/directoy, but it can't handle this file type." But filling in the directory path in the adress bar does not give any error??
Got to the status bar at the bottom of the file area, right click and, if checked, uncheck "Lock to current location"
-> Is already unchecked. It was 'unavailable' until the navigation panel was shown, after that, "Lock to current location" was not checked.
At the same time, when I access the "/" directory by filling in the adress bar, Konqueror locks up fir about 15 secs before showing the content.
The above may fix this. What if you start a console and "ls" the / folder? Does that take 15 secs too?
-> No, it doesn't. It took about 0.5 s.
Is it a bug or an installation error or a configuration error? Using Konqueror as user, there is no problem at all....
No, because they store user settings separately.
Sounds rather b*ggered I'm afraid. You could as an experiment copy roots .kde folder i.e. log out as root, log in to a virtual terminal, and in the /root folder enter: cp -pr .kde .kde_bak Go back to KDE and log back in as root and see if that cures the problem, though ideally you shouldn't log into KDE as root. If this works you could selectively copy back configs from the backup. -- Steve Boddy
