Hi, Can anybody tell me where KHTML is meant to be on 9.1 ? When I am browsing with Konqueror and click on an html file I get a message saying that Konqueror cannot start KHTML. A search of my hard drive just gives me a couple of folders of the same name. Anybody else have anythoing different? Regards, Colin

KHTML is an HTML rendering engine used by Konqueror. It is what Gecko is for Mozilla. I think your system may have corrupted file associations. In Konqueror click menu Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Associations -> Text -> HTML. There are two tabs there: General and Embedded. In the General tab make Konqueror be the first app in the list. In the Embedded tab make KHTML (khtml) be the first app in the list. Then click OK and try again to see whether Konqueror works ok. -- NSK http://portal.wikinerds.org

kthml is the htem renderer of konqueror. See www.konqueror.org/features/browser.php In my distro (9.3) it resides in kdelibs3, kdelibs3-devel and kdeaddons3-konqueror. You'll also need kde3base. Before reinstalling that lot look if you accidentally hosed your konqueror configuration. Go to .kde/share/config and rename konquerorrc to konquerorrc_old. Restart konquerer and see if it behaves like it should. If it does you're done, if it doesn't, back to the drawing board. Best regards, -- Jos van Kan www.josvankan.tk

www.konqueror.org/features/browser.php Hi Jos, Thanks for the above reference. However, I will have to power up my old XP laptop to view it because my Konqueror only shows me the source, making life a little difficult :-)

I found it interesting, and I learnt a little. However it didn't help. Best regards, -- Jos van Kan www.josvankan.tk I found rpms for kdelibs3, kdelibs3-devel and kdeaddons3-konqueror I didn't find an rpm for kde3base, but I did find one for kdebase3.
Do you think that I should re-install? I am a newbie, so I guess I won't needing kdelibs3-devel ? Do I need to un-install anything, or just try installing over the top? Thanks for your pointers so far. Regards, Colin PS: I like Amsterdam. And nice people.

Before reinstalling anything let's make sure that it isn't your *configuration* that's hosed, because if it is, reinstalling won't help you. Rename .kde to .kde_old, Log out and log in again. KDE then will reinstall a clean configuration for all applications. Now test konqueror again. If it *still* balks about khtml then I think you should reinstall kdelibs3 and kde-addons3, although I cannot figure how you could break the system by just changing the preferences. If the clean configuration works OK you can either keep that and reconfigure the other apps, like kmail and your desktop. Alternatively you could try to find which configuration file exactly broke the donkey's back by exchanging suspect files from working to non working configuration. My experience is that the first plan takes a lot less time. :-) If you have to reinstall the two libraries, you must first uninstall them. If you try do that in Yast it will go mildly ballistic, because you break a *lot* of things. So you'll have to use the command line. In case it is necessary I'll walk you through the steps. However I'm on holiday for the next week. That was already planned. :-)

Yes, you can. I use KDE for the desktop and Mozilla for 95% of all my web browsing. No issues.

Konqueror is the standard default Web browser, file manager and file viewer of KDE.

No, Mozilla has nothing to do with GNOME. Epiphany is a Web browser commonly found on GNOME desktops, as well as Galeon, both based on Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine. Mozilla's user interface code is called XUL and is independent from the desktop environment. Mozilla does not care whether you run Windows, GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Fluxbox, TWM, MacOS-X, or any other kind of operating system graphical user interface... Mozilla has its own interface code. (note when I say Mozilla I mean Mozilla Suite, the 1.7 series, not the Mozilla Firefox browser)
and I am unsure if I can have them both installed???
On my KDE systems I have installed Konqueror, Mozilla (Suite), Mozilla Firefox, Epiphany, Opera, links, and lynx. They all work great and in harmony with each other. I even run Konqueror and Mozilla at the same time. -- NSK http://portal.wikinerds.org

Thanks NSK, Synthetic Cartoonz and Jos for feedback. I've heard good things about Mozilla, so I guess I'll have to try it. This thread started as a request for help with KHTML. Returning to this problem I'd appreciate a hint or two. Problem: When I try to click on an html file Konqueror says there is a conflict because Konqueror cannot handle this file type. I understand that KHTML does so for Konqueror. Jos (who has departed on holiday) suggested that I configure Konqueror - File Associations for text - html, as Konqueror under the General tab, and KHTML under the Embedded tab. That didn't work, so he suggested renaming .kde and rebooting. That fixed it ---- but it stuffed up my email and I had to return to the old .kde to get this email up and running. So, now I know that it is a configuration problem; but which file? I've run diff but it is painful working through two very different large directories. Thanks for any suggestions, Regards, Colin

That sent a shiver down my spine. I just bought my nephew a new Dell desktop with XP and I'm dreading the day I get a call to say he and his dad has problems. I think I'll get them to to consult the eXPerts/mouse-jockeys they know first - most people using Windows reckon secretly that I know very little about real computers, thankfully as they only consult me when desparate. I can see horrors when they hook up to MS with a bootleg copy of Office XP they installed and if they get frightened off, next comes the spyware, viruses, malware, even if they register and update, the *ware still won't take any notice. Have I just dug the perfect deep Hole?
I did think about that, but as a newbie I am timid... I have the feeling that Konqueror goes with kde, and Mozilla goes with gnome, and I am unsure if I can have them both installed???

Firefox works on both KDE and Gnome. If you want you can both installed and switch back and forth between them as long as you use the SUSE rpm's anyway. At least some KDE apps will run on Gnome. Rich

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. 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: KDEInit could not launch 'KHTML': Could not find 'KHTML' executable. Neither can I. "Find" turns up nothing. Browsing through "File Associations" turns up no sign of it. However, if, while browsing my disc with Konqueror, I right click on an html file, then select "Preview In", the menu offers me KHTML and does the full display thingy. (How the h... can Konqueror find it sometimes and not others?) I know that I am a newbie, but I do wish that Linux programmers would clearly document exactly where things are located, especially configuration files for their code. Config files seem to be scattered throughout the place instead of in one place. Or at least some cross referencing such as a comment "See also..." Anyway, does anybody have any suggestions as to where I might find KHTML? Regards, Colin PS: Jos, I hope you had a good holiday.

Hi Jos, I'm still in trouble.
If the clean configuration works OK you can either keep that and reconfigure the other apps, like kmail and your desktop. Alternatively you could try to find which configuration file exactly broke the donkey's back by exchanging suspect files from working to non working configuration. My experience is that the first plan takes a lot less time. :-)

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. 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. 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.
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? What do you mean by indexed item? A hyperlink? If you put file://"FULL_PATH_TO_FILENAME" in the location bar, what happens?
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. :-) Best regards,1 -- Jos van Kan www.josvankan.tk

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.

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).

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.
