konqueror is not starting...
 

when i click the home directory shortcut on my desktop the file system browser seems like it is starting but then vanishes. same with the konqueror shorcut on the panel.

if i call the shortcut from the terminal like /var/lib/menu/kde/Applications/Home.desktop i get this error below;

/var/lib/menu/kde/Applications/Home.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
/var/lib/menu/kde/Applications/Home.desktop: line 4: openProfile: command not found

btw if i call /usr/bin/konqueror from terminal no problem at all.

i just switched form redhat 9 to fedora core a month ago. i am also using kde.

any help would be appreciated.

Re: konqueror is not starting...
 

Right-click on the symbols and make sure the paths and file names are given correctly.

Try running "konqueror" command in a terminla and see if it opens. If it does, make the command for the desktop shortcut "konqueror --profile filemanagement".
Konqueror ".desktop" files can not be "run", only kde knows how to run them, like if you double click them.

thanks beejayzed

i just opened

/usr/share/applications/Home.desktop

and replaced

kfmclient openProfile filemanagement

with

konqueror --profile filemanagement

and it is working

i tried to run "kfmclient openProfile filemanagement" from terminal just to understand what the problem was but no luck, not even an error message, it just terminates abrubtly.

thanks again...

It's a pleasure :)

Hi Folks,
I'm having the same problems. Konqueror won't come up. I even tried the suggections above and none of them worked.

I'm using Fedora Core 2.


:confused:


Thanks

Same here. Not only konqueror, but kdict and other things did not work. The only way I got back to normal was by deleting ~/.kde
