Konqueror & RPM downloads
Sometimes (often) when clicking on a web page to download an RPM, konqueror downloads the file to a temporary directory, showing progress in a separate window, and displays a page offering to show details of the RPM and to install using YaST. Other times the window just goes black, the file is fetched but there is no indication of where it (or if) it has been saved and no option to install or examine it. How do I configure konqueror to always offer to install the RPM rather than 'silently' transferring apparently to /dev/null?

This kget in the background loading your file. Start it and configure that files should always be stored somewhere you like to.

This happens when the webserver/browser thinks that "rpm" means Realaudio Plugin Module. Konqueror will try to load it in the Realplayer plugin. Go into Konqueror's settings. Under "File Associations", do a search for 'rpm'. Remove rpm from the list of Realaudio file extensions. The only MIME type that should be associated with rpm is "application/x-rpm". - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+XjhR+FOexA3koIgRAmSWAJ9IpDn6TdRTv63NJUZyepkZk1D0KQCdGkwr jQeFysEC0hfxSnmLVJQkfr0= =+h/2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
