how to get kde4 dolphin or konqueror to see zeroconf, mt-daapd, kepas, vnc, or any useful networking protocol??????
i can see all of them in avahi zeroconf broswer

Regarding getting Dolphin / Konqueror to "see" these Zeroconf shared protocols, I believe the zeroconf:/ KIO slave can do that. If it is able to invoke the right apps for the job is another thing though, these applications support what you are looking for:

Mt-Daapd - Amarok 1.x can do this. Set up the "Music Sharing" media device through Amarok settings.

VNC - KRDC is a VNC / RDP client. I believe the KDE 4.2 version can handle other protocols as well.

What are "any useful networking protocol?". there is more than likely a KDE application that is capable of handling the particular protcols you are after.

in kde3 konqueror can see zeroconf, mt-daapd, kepas, vnc witch iis useful for flie sharing[hr]
Mt-Daapd has a conf http page that kde4 konqueror can't see
kepas can't be seen
zeroconf:/_http._tcp/

That is very interesting because Avahi is used to discover services for the zeroconf:/ KIO Slave. If they appear in Avahi but not in the KIO Slave, then I would say it is a bug.

if you mean dophin url zeroconf:/ KIO Slave you get this
[malformed url zeroconf:/ KIO Slave]

Code: Select all

zeroconf:/

was what I meant. Sorry if it confused you. Can you see any services in the KDE 4 Konqueror zeroconf KIO slave?

Also, what distro and version of KDE are you using?

kubuntu 8.10 kde 4.1 and zeroconf:/ doesn't show anything

Asking a stupid question, but have you installed the zeroconf KIO slave? It currently works for me, both under KDE 4.1.3 and KDE 4.2 trunk on OpenSuSE.

I have the Avahi service running locally on my computer however, so you may wish to check that as well. I only have sftp, and fish showing, because they are the only zeroconf aware services on my computer.

kio-slave is install.i think Avahi service is running how do you check?

In Konsole, enter the following commands:

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon status
/etc/rc.d/avahi-dnsconfd status

These commands can be executed as a normal user. Both should return ": running"

If one does not then execute the command that returns "missing" using sudo replacing "status" with "start" ( eg: /etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon status -> sudo /etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon start )

/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon status /etc/init.d/avahi-dnsconfd status all running
must be driffent for .deb based distro

Which version of KDE are you running? Also, do you have SSH running locally on your computer, and either fish, or sftp KIO slaves installed?

avahi-daemon status avahi-dnsconfd is running[hr]
SSH fish,sftp are not installed

Possible answer to your problem then: It only shows what it knows it has KIO slaves for. The other services that you cannot see, it probably does not know how to handle, and as a result, hides them.

I do not know if this is how the zeroconf KIO slave works however. I would recommend filing a bug report that Avahi browser + zeroconf KDE 3 show services not visible in the KDE 4 zeroconf.
