[opensuse] Alt-F2 still doesn't work for man - 15.0
Once again, pressing Alt-F2 and then entering #<command> does not bring up the man page. This was a very useful feature, that hasn't worked for some time. Any chance of getting it back? When I try to get a man page, at the bottom of the list of things that can be opened, there's a line that says "Locations: Go to man:/", but clicking on it opens Seamonkey. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Forgot to mention, this is on KDE. On 05/27/2018 02:39 PM, James Knott wrote:

It appears I'm not the only one to notice this is broken: http://www.ocsmag.com/2017/07/25/krunner-when-minimalism-goes-wrong/ "After I spent ninety minutes trying out all the previous functions, and adjusting other settings in KDE, such as the default applications listed in *System Settings > Applications*, I conclude that the latest version cannot open man pages, switch between desktops and Activities, spell-check, or enter special characters." Why is this sort of nonsense happening? Why do developers assume people want dumbed down stuff? I mentioned this in another message about Wireshark. Another example is the pfsense user forum. They recently changed servers, to comply with the new privacy regs. However, the new site is nowhere near as useful as before and, as another mentioned, seems to be designed for a 14 year old girl! Why are intelligent, technically minded individuals now treated like mindless idiots, for whom pretty pictures are more important than useful function? </rant> On 05/27/2018 02:39 PM, James Knott wrote:

Not here. Seamonkey opens and I have no idea why. I can open Konqueror and enter it there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

if trying the same as a new user works, then you will quickly know you have configured something wrong, but you will have to determine what. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It does work with a new user, however I have no idea what setting would affect that. I can't seem to find anything relevant. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Did you search shortcuts in system settings? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yep and nothing turns up. I also went into the Shortcuts section, but could find nothing relevant. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

James, I don't know where suse puts all the configs, but on the upstream KDE (FW5/plasma) all config files are dumped in ~/.config. Which presents a big problem if you need to wipe-out the config and start over. At least with the individual config files scattered in the base of ~/.config, you can't just blow-away (e.g. ~/.kde4) and start over when a kioslave shortcut changes. Strange that '#name' no longer works -- that was even in one of the KDE startup tips for ages for the kio_man application. Check the "File-Associations" for the .html extension and make sure you haven't reassigned it to open in something else other than konqueror (like I sometimes reassign it to open in kwrite). I don't know if that will fix it on Fw5/plasma, but that is what used to control it. -- David C.

There is krunnerrc in there, but that appears to show just commands I've used with Alt-F2. I also have .kde, .kde4 and .kderc in my home directory, but don't see anything relevant there either. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
