Hi,

I am having problems with Konqueror. When I click it in the start up menu in KDE, i.e.Internet>Konqueror, a welcome to centos window opens up showing a path of /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html in the address bar, but the application itself does not start.

Maybe the path to the application is set incorrect?

I am using the Centos 5.5 Distro with a standard install of KDE.

What exact KDE version is this?

what errors (if any) are displayed if you run it in Konsole?

does the file /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html exist?

Not sure on exact version...on the version can I check it via the KDE GUI? Or do I need to do an rpm -qa in terminal?

By Konsole I am assuming you mean the browser window that pops up when I try to start konqueror? I assume the /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html exists because it shows in the browser window...

Click Help -> About KDE in any KDE application.

Konsole is the terminal application, running an app within it should display errors - it can be started from Kmenu or from Krunner (alt+F2)

the version of KDE can be displayed by opening a KDE app -> help -> about kde

Version is 3.5.4-25.el5.centos.1

OK thanks yes I use Konsole all the time for ssh did not know that's what it was called, thought it was called terminal.

I assume that in order to start Konqueror, I will have to find the path to it first and start it up from Konsole, since the start menu link is broken in K menu?

no just type konqueror in konsole and then post the results here, the paths to all the applications should be already set

OK thanks when I do that, that window that I spoke of earlier pops up...no path shows in Konsole though...

no errors display in Konsole?

is this a new install or upgrade? did Konqueror start fine earlier?

No....no errors in Konsole.

Not sure - I can't remember if I used it after the last upgrade. I think I upgraded it, don't think its a new install from scratch.

Wait....tried it again and did it as root, this came up:

Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-root"
Link points to "/tmp/kde-root"
kbuildsycoca running...
Link points to "/var/tmp/kdecache-root"
DCOP Cleaning up dead connections.

OK I closed out konsole, started it up again and typed in konqueror, and got this...

Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-root"
-bash: Link: command not found
[root@localhost ~]# Link points to "/tmp/kde-root"
-bash: Link: command not found
[root@localhost ~]# kbuildsycoca running...
kbuildsycoca: Unexpected argument 'running...'.
kbuildsycoca: Use --help to get a list of available command line options.
[root@localhost ~]# Link points to "/var/tmp/kdecache-root"
-bash: Link: command not found
[root@localhost ~]# DCOP Cleaning up dead connections.
-bash: DCOP: command not found
[root@localhost ~]#

Now I just typed it in and got this:

kbuildsycoca running...
DCOP Cleaning up dead connections.


and also that window again popped up.
