KDEInit Launch Error

hooded · 10-25-2004, 03:52 AM

So I was messing around with MPlayer earlier today, trying to get a skin to work for it. Somehow I messed up KDEInit and everytime I would open a folder in Konquorer it would open an instance of GMPlayer (which would crash on me). After getting frustrated I ended up removing MPlayer. The only problem is that now when I try and open a folder it gives me an error saying

KDEInit could not launch 'usr/bin/gmplayer'

Has anyone ran into this issue before?

I think you might have incorrectly assigned mplayer to view all folders in konqueror.

You might want to check if anything's out of place here : Open konqueror -->Settings--->configure konqueror---> File Associations -->all-->all,allfiles [Application Preferences order]

Ya, that was one of the first places that I looked. Under all --> Application Preference Order it says "None". Same thing with allfiles. That seemed to be what it should be. Perhaps I am wrong. What application should be listed under there?

Open Konqueror -->Right Click on any Folder -->Edit File Type -->

These are my settings

General
[File Patterns : blank ]
[Description : Directory ]
[Application Preference Order : 1)Konqueror 2) Cervisia]

Embedding
Left Click Action [Use settings for inode group ]

Hope this helps!!

Post back as to how it goes.

Everything is a - ok now! It was a File Association problem. By right clicking on the folders I was able to change it. Thanks!
