Thanks for the suggestion, but: a) I don't have Internet & Network > File Associations, here Control Center offers KDE Components > File Associations. b) There is only one text/html entry "kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing" c) All html/htm links will activate Konquerour, but it continues to insist that it does not know how to handle html files. Which make it an exceptionally useful web browser ;) Could the problem be in the webbrowsing profile? If so, where is it located? Dave On Wed, 2003-10-29 at 15:43, Micah Love wrote:

Konqueror seems to have suddenly lost the plot. Now when I try to open an html link it displays a message asking if I want open or save the file, but if I select open it displays the following nonsense:

"There appears to be a configuration error. You have associated Konqueror with text/html, but it can't handle this file type."

I don't recall changing any file associations or other configurations recently, but obviously I must have done something to upset Konqueror.

Can anyone offer any suggestions where I should start looking to resolve Konqueror's memory loss?

TIA

Dave SUSE 8.0, Konqueror 3.1.2

Change the command to this:

kfmclient openURL %u text/html

Thanks Charles, but still the same message, even after restarting kde. Dave

Try this in a console and see if it works and post any errors you are getting:

kfmclient openURL http://www.linuxtoday.com

The console shows no errors. Konqueror opens then displays the following message: "There appears to be a configuration error. You have associated Konqueror with text/html, but it can't handle this file type." Dave

Ok, let us try this:

(1) Do a search in ~/.kde/share/applink for any file that contains kfmclient. konqueror, and html and delete them.

(2) Now put the attached file in /opt/kde3/share/applink/System

(3) Restart kde and see if it works.

I did everything as proposed, but the result was exactly the same. Charles, I thank you for your time, patience and effort, but I think it's time to give this one away. In the time between my last post and now, I have decided to "bite the bullet" and upgrade to 9.0 with a clean install. Lately there have been a number of quirks and peculiarities happening with my current setup, so I think it time for a completely fresh start. I have placed my order for SUSE 9.0 Pro and my supplier estimates that I should receive my shiny new distro in the next 12-48 hours :) Again, many thanks for your assistance. Regards Dave
