Hello Everyone :) I know that this is not about a core KDE application, but it is about how an app from kde-apps.org has eliminated my ability to start konqueror, either as a web browser or a filemanager. So I thing that at the list, it will serve as a warning for somebody :) I was looking at kde-apps.org today and thought I'd try out what is referred to on that site as "Advanced Search Toolbar for Konqueror" Downloaded the file named googlebar-0.6.1.tar.bz2, and then proceeded to successfully compile and install. Here's where the serious problem comes in: now, when I even attempt to open konqueror, it will not even start. So I tried running it from a terminal window, and I got the following information: [steve@afolkey2 ~]$ konqueror kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-steve/ksycoca konqueror: void KonqMisc::createBrowserWindowFromProfile() konqueror: path=/usr/local/kde-svn-fc5/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/webbrowsing,filename=webbrowsing,url= kio (KTrader): query for Browser/View : returning 34 offers libkonq: ## loaded: 0 entries. kdecore (KConfigSkeleton): Creating KConfigSkeleton (0x88dc5e8) kdecore (KConfigSkeleton): KConfigSkeleton::readConfig() konqueror: KonqMainWindow::enableAllActions false kparts: found KParts Plugin : /usr/local/kde-svn-fc5/share/apps/konqueror/kpartplugins/searchbar.rc kparts: load plugin searchbar kio (KTrader): query for KURIFilter/Plugin : returning 4 offers kurifilter (plugins): (28208) Keywords Engine: Loading config... kurifilter (plugins): (28208) Keyword Delimiter: : kurifilter (plugins): (28208) Default Search Engine: kurifilter (plugins): (28208) Web Shortcuts Enabled: true kurifilter (plugins): (28208) Verbose: false kio (KTrader): query for SearchProvider : returning 1 offers kurifilter (plugins): (28208) user query = 'some keyword' kurifilter (plugins): (28208) query definition = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=\{@}&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8' kurifilter (plugins): (28208) Generating substitution map: kurifilter (plugins): (28208) map['0'] = 'some keyword' kurifilter (plugins): (28208) map['1'] = 'some' kurifilter (plugins): (28208) map['2'] = 'keyword' kurifilter (plugins): (28208) Substitute references: kurifilter (plugins): (28208) reference list = '@' kurifilter (plugins): (28208) newurl = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=\@&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8' kurifilter (plugins): (28208) rest = 'some keyword' kurifilter (plugins): (28208) substituted query = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=some+keyword&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8' So, I ran make uninstall in the googlebar build directory and tried again. Same problem. Just in case make uninstall left anything behind, I configured a copy to be installed in my home directory and just used that to check my KDE path to see if anything was left behind. There was nothing left behind. I've tried deleting kdecache-steve from /var/tmp. No joy. Even tried removing the konqueror subdirectory from kdebase, reupdating and compiling. That did not work either. So, where things stand now is that I have uninstalled googlebar, reinstalled konqueror, and I still have no konqueror. That would not be so bad, but "kfmclient openProfile filemanagement" is my favorite filemanager, and it won't start either. As you know, "kfmclient openProfile filemanagement" is based on konqueror. Almost forgot. I also did the following: rm -f .kde/share/config/konq* rm -rf .kde/share/apps/konq* Even after removing all of that, konqueror still won't start. So, any help you can give me in getting konqueror back would be Greatly appreciated. Steven P. Ulrick ___________________________________________________ .
