For many years, I have pressed F2 to run stuff such as man, by entering #<command> in the pop up box. For some reason, this has now broken. When I do that, Seamonkey opens, which does not know how to handle those commands, instead of Konqueror. Firefox is set as the default browser. Any idea on how I can get this to work properly again? I'm running openSUSE 12.2 & KDE 4. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

tnx jk This might be overkill, but what if you remove Seamonkey?

Yes, it would be. Seamonkey is my main email app, as I prefer it to Thunderbird. Also, this is a recent development, so I wouldn't be surprised if it came in with a Seamonkey update. I'm currently at v2.15. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Which is "up-to-date". Hm. Have a look at kcontrol -> KDE Components -> File Associations and search for 'man' as a pattern and look for what apps are bound to that filetype. Use e.g. 'tkman' in "General" for tests as it'll be clear that it was opened that way. Or e.g. 'xless', anything to make it clear that the configuration was applied. Also for testing, in the "Embedding" Tab use e.g. "Text View" instead of "KManPart". If you then get the manpage "source" instead of a rendered view in a KDE Text widget, you'll know you're on the right track.

File associations are for file types. Man is not a file type, it is a command. If I open Konqueror and enter #<command>, it works as expected. The same problem occurs with ##, which is supposed to open "info". Try pressing Alt-F2 and then entering #ls or ##ls in the box to see what happens. Then open Konqueror and enter those to see what's supposed to happen. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Works for me with the packages from KR410, i.e. the man page for ls is opened in the standard webbrowser. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Is there no fix for this? It's really annoying to have this broken. As far as I can tell, there's no setting that associates Seamonkey to this function. James Knott wrote:

I just tried a test. After pressing Alt-F2 and entering #ls, I ran ps aux|grep seamonkey and this showed up: /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/kioexec seamonkey -mail man:/ls So, why is kioexec starting seamonkey? James Knott wrote:
