Hi Jos, I'm still in trouble.
I did your rename trick and it fixed things, but upset a lot of other things :-) In particular it broke my email configuration, so I am back and forth with reboots.
I cannot understand why you would have to reboot. I *could* understand why you would have to restart KDE, but you can do that by simply logging out and logging in again. Okay. I thought that kde started with the boot up, not at every loggon. But come to think of it, the configuration is different each time; I just didn't realize that it was a new copy/start up of kde.
Renaming .kde didn't break it the kmail configuration, it just gave you a clean configuration of everything. As I told you (but that apparently did not register) you would have to reconfigure a couple of applications. You have a clean configuration of kmail that you have to reconfigure. Yes, Jos, I did understand your statement, but newbie here had trouble re-configuring Kmail. I am actually afraid of upgrading to 9.3 and messing up things - I wish I had made better notes....
You also could copy .kde_old/share/config/kmailrc and kmail.eventsrc to your new .kde/share/config to try to recover the kmail settings. Yes, I will try this tomorrow (it is 1.45 am here in Sydney).
When I point Konqueror to a web site it opens the site's home page, displaying the html information. Then I click on a indexed item (or on an html file on my disc) and I get the message:
What do you mean by point? Enter the URL in the location bar? Sorry: yes I do mean enter a URL What do you mean by indexed item? A hyperlink? If you put file://"FULL_PATH_TO_FILENAME" in the location bar, what happens? A mixture of results. And, I have no idea why, but tonight the behaviour is different. Firstly, clicking the mouse over the "home" icon displays my ISP's home page (as it should), but tonight the clicking on a hyperlink it throwing up a window with three option buttons: "Save to disk", "Open with KHTML", and "Cancel" This second option has never occurred before??? Selecting the second option turns the mouse cursor into an egg timer for about twenty seconds, then a small window flashes up for about 0.25 seconds (too fast to read anything) and vanishes. Entering the full path (other than IPS home page) does the same.
Regards, Colin PS: Jos, I hope you had a good holiday.
I had, but I got the feeling that I need another one within short. :-)
