Konqueror strangeness

For quite some time I've noticed the following Konqueror behaviour only under Arch Linux (as opposed to other distros):
1. Intermittently, attempts to open a text file while running Konqueror as superuser will result in my being told KDE could load KWrite. Later (a few minutes, say), it works.
2. If I want to make a copy of a file in the same folder, but make that copy with a different name, in other distros I simply Select that file, Copy it, Paste it, and then fill in the new name when prompted about it already exisiting. In Arch Linux, I'm never prompted to supply a new name. Rather, I'm told the operation can't be done because the file already exists. So I always end up hitting F4 to go to terminal, and do it on the command line. This strange behaviour start a little while ago. I used to be prompted for a new filename under Arch.

The same for me on point 2.  I used to be ask to filled in a new name, but now, I got an error message, and it's rather anoying I must admit.  Is there anybody that found a solution for that ?  And it's not due to some user personnalisation, since I brand new install of archLinux on another computer give me the same behavior.  How to reactive the old way around ?
And I noticed that if I move a file with the same name in a directory, I'm prompted to enter a new name, but not when I copy/paste it in the same directory.
Any help would be appreciate !
Have a nice day !

I find this doesn't happen in any other distro I have installed (Mepis 6, Slackware Current, or CentOS 4.3).

  • No image previews in Konqueror

    I suddenly got this strange problem in Konqueror. When I'm browsing a folder with images I get no thumbnail previews any more. I've made sure previews are enabled (the little button on the toolbar) and the filesize for preview is large enough. Very strange...

    Upgraded kdebase to 3.5.4-4, that took care of the problem.

  • [SOLVED] Konqueror/KDEmod: Bad icon alignment/disable full filenames?

    Hi guys,
    Hope this is the right place. I have no idea what I might search for to find the answer to this question, as the several queries I made gave results not even close to what I'm looking for on google.. I'm also unsure whether it's an issue with konqueror in specific or KDEmod, so I will leave it here until certain (and then go to the kdemod devs perhaps if its that).
    I've used kde for over a year and a half, and recently switched to Arch in the last month or so and used KDEMod. Loving both. However, I have yet to figure out how to disable this default setting on KDEMod I've never seen before: it rearranges all or some of the icons out of alignment in konqueror.. it -appears- to be doing such so that there is enough room to display the full length of the folder/file name, or at least more letters. I have no idea what it's doing it for, but that's my best guess due to where it shows up. I can't see any obvious switches in the settings or menu bar.
    Many folders do this, and it's seriously annoying not having everything aligned and having icon space wasted. Here's a picture if what I describe isn't clear.
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v412/ … pshot5.png
    Note that my icons, scheme, fonts, etc are all exactly the same as they have been in kde before everywhere else, so I don't think that would be the issue.
    Would appreciate if any of you could tell me how to fix this, assuming it's not some strange bug

  • Printing to pdf in Konqueror

    I have a strange problem with printing to pdf in konqeror. First when i want to print with a preview, i get a message "Preview failed: unable to start program PostScript Info." But I can continue to print. However, once the pdf is created, the fonts look really terrible.
    I installed the cups-pdf and tried using that method through konqueror and still got crappy fonts. However, when I used firefox + cups-pdf on the same web page, the fonts looked perfect.
    Although I use firefox most of the time, I still need to print stuff from Kmail (html stuff).  Is there any way to adjust this strange bug?

    I'm using kdemod and had the same error message when opening print preview. Installing kdemod-kdegraphics-kghostview did help there. But i doubt it will help with your fonts problem.

  • 7.0.9 update screws up Konqueror File manager in Fedora 7

    Reader was running fine and I did the latest update. Since then I can't navigate in the Konqueror file browser any more as the reader made itself the mode to open everything. If I click on a folder Reader opens (naturally empty). I de-installed it and now I get the error message that KDEinit can't find acroread (sure, I got rid of it).
    The same happened to my wife in WinXP but there the problem was fixed by uninstalling Acroread.
    Does somebody know how to fix Konqueror???? I don't need Acroread any more as there are sufficient less intrusive readers available.
    Thanks,
    Juergen

    Well, I had it happen to me again yesterday, i.e., all graphics files defaulting to Preview. I changed them back using the procedure I used earlier, but if this continues, it's going to be a MAJOR problem.
    Even after you selected, for
    example, Graphic Converter as the default application
    in the Open With pop-up menu, per step 3 in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing
    the application that opens a document."
    Unfortunately, no, not even after selecting Graphic Converter as the default app in the Open With menu.
    I think you
    mean Show Inspector, which is Command-Option-I, vs.
    Command-I for Get Info. The Inspector displays
    common info for a selection of objects, so you can
    change the default app for multiple files in one
    window.
    Hmm ... I get the same "Multiple Item Info" panel whether I hit Command-I and Command-Option-I if I have more than 10 files selected. In any case, I hit Command-I to bring up the Multiple Item Info panel.
    3. The anomalies you described are very strange. As
    a general check, run the Procedure specified in my
    "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache
    Corruption" FAQ. I'd recommend at least running
    Steps 1-3.
    I'll give it a go. Thanks!

  • Help with getting values from request. Very Strange!!

    Hello,
    My very strange problem is the following.
    I have created three dynamic list boxes. When the user select
    the first list box, the second becomes populated with stuff
    from a database. The third becomes populated when the second
    is selected. Now, I have used hidden values in order for
    me to get the selected value from the first listbox. The
    following code is my first listbox:
    <SELECT NAME="resources" onChange="document.hiddenform.hiddenObject.value = this.option [this.selectedIndex].value; document.hiddenform.submit();">
    <OPTION VALUE =""> Resource</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="soil"> Soil </OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="water"> Water </OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="air"> Air </OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="plants"> Plants </OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="animals"> Animals </OPTION>
    </SELECT>
    I use the getRequest method to get the value of hiddenObject.
    At this time I am able to get the value of hiddenObject to populate
    the second list box.
    But, when the user selects an item from the second list box
    and the second form is also submitted,
    I lose the value of hiddenObject. Why is this??
    The code to populate my second listbox is the following:
    <SELECT NAME ="res_categories" onChange="document.hiddenform2.hiddenObject2.value = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value; document.hiddenform2.submit(); ">
    <OPTION VALUE ="" SELECTED> Category</OPTION>
    Here I access a result set to populate the list box.
    Please help!!

    Form parameters are request-scoped, hence the request.getParameter("hiddenObject"); call after the submission of the second form returns a null value because the hiddenObject parameter does not exist within the second request.
    A solution would be to add a hiddenObject field to your second form and alter the onChange event for res_categories to read
    document.hiddenform2.hiddenObject.value=document.1stvisibleformname.resources.option[document.1stvisibleformname.resources.selectedIndex].value;
    document.hiddenform2.hiddenObject2.value = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
    document.hiddenform2.submit();You will then come across a similar problem with your third drop-down if indeed you need to resubmit the form...
    A far better approach would be to create a session scoped bean, and a servlet to handle these requests. Then when the servlet is called, it would set the value of the bean property, thus making it available for this request, and all subsequent requests within the current session. This approach would eliminate the need for the clunky javascript, making your application far more stable.

  • Strange discrepancy in report painter

    Hi everyone,
    I've designed a report painter with all the respective columns & formulas intact but at the Grand Total col (summation of all the sub-totals), the figure doesn't tally with all the sub-totals. All sub-totals have been added correctly but when they are added up to the Grand Total, the fig doesn't tie.
    Any clues? Have I missed out something?

    Hi Andrew,
    I've checked the sub-totals and apparently, when i double click on a sub-total to drill down to line item lvl, the fig doesn't seem to tie in with what I see in the report painter report. It's real strange that the correct fig appears upon drilling down to line item level but at a higher level, the fig isn't right. It's short of a fig which is in relation to another column.
    I've double checked the formula at the sub-total col and all the cols in the formula are present. This is the bizarre thing which I've been trying to resolve for the past few days.
    Best Regards,
    Ethan

  • Capturing DVCAM in FCP 6.0.2 and encountering strange capture behavior

    I have FCP 6.0.2 and OSX 10.5.2 and QT 7.3.1. I have been capturing several DVCAM cassettes using my Sony DSR-20 deck. Although I have done this countless times before in earlier versions of FCP, I am encountering some strange repetitive behavior. I am capturing 30 minute clips one at a time. When I use batch capture it will cue the tape up properly to the in point...and then start capturing until it gets to about 10-12 minutes in, and then capture unexpectedly stops, no dialogue box, the tape rewinds and starts capturing again from the original in point. On this second capture, the tape sails past the 10 minute mark and keeps going to the end of the 30 minute clip. It then stops, gives me the dialogue box that it has successfully captured. And it has.
    But every DVCAM tape I captured today exhibited the same behavior. Capture would be successful until about about 10 minutes in, then FCP aborts (no dropped frame message, no dialogue box) rewinds the tape back to the in point, tries again, and this time succeeds with the second pass capturing the entire clip. Note at the 10 minute mark there is no scene change or no camera start/stop.
    Have other users experienced this issue? And if so, is there a workaround or a possible patch forthcoming from FCP?
    Many thanks,
    John

    Yes, each tape has an in and out point defined. In my 6 years of editing with Final Cut and DVCAM tapes I've never encountered this issue before in the capturing process until now. I will have to see in future weeks with other captures whether this is an on-going issue or not, but at least I can capture for now.

  • Strange green lines with ATI 4850 iMac in Aperture, then crash.

    Well, I have been running my iMac, 3GHZ, ATI 4850 for about a week now. I have had 2 lockups in OSX, 1 in boot camp and 1 graphics crash.
    In OSX, all the crashes/lock-ups happen after I get these strange green lines, artifacts, that run across part of my screen. They change in length but generally always run horizontal. I can seem to find a way to post pictures here, but I have a couple screen grabs here:
    http://atothe420k.blogspot.com/
    Since I have to power off in the middle of Aperture, I am also getting corrupt databases, which take forever to rebuild.

    Well, I called into Apple Care, after my machine crashed again twice today, once in a web browser and once under EveOnline. The person said to download and use some fan control software. It installed, but didn't do much, couldn't get it to change fan speed or anything else.
    I installed iStatPro, which is great, and kept checking the temp of the ATI card, it would crash when the temp was up around 65-70 degrees C. Not sure if that is high or not.

  • Strange keyboard behavior after OS 4.2.1 upgrade

    When typing (at least, so far, in Safari) the keyboard will randomly (or so it seems) retract after typing a letter, instead of that letter being registered in the text box. It's necessary to re-locate the insertion point back in the text box to bring the keyboard back. And when I do, then the caps lock is on even though it wasn't before. This happens every few characters, but unpredictably.

    I'm getting this too. Been looking all over the Internet to find other people with the same problem.
    Its very annoying, and I'm not touching any other part of the screen - it does exactly what the OP describes, and it seems to do it all the time, when I'm typing. Only noticed it in safari because that is all I type in, and strangely enough it is not happening as I type this, and when it does happen i make sure the webpages are fully loaded. Very strange and very frustrating
    I'm also finding that rss feeds aren't updating, but thats a different problem.

    Hi there,
    My network was working fine yesterday but now whenever I plug a cable into the onboard network card, my computer starts having these strange flucuations...Every few seconds the CPU usage jumps from 0% to about 50% which causes the system to freeze for a second, making it a real pain to do anything.
    Does anyone have any idea whats causing this?

Further, I'd like to buy another 512 M stick and honestly it seems more sensible to me to mount two equal sticks. And I feel somewhat stuck...
    a memory can be incompatible but still work.
    alot of people buy any memory they can and throw in and it may work.
    but it can start crashing after installing some program or updating bios or drivers.
    thats the reason i posted the memtest program.
    worry about a crash....no reason for that as you self said memtest reported no errors prime95 no errors and doom3 worked good.
    kingston uses many different chips on their memory and its those chips that is the problem.
    one guy found out that on the specific memory he bought kingston used 3 different chips on.
    only 1 of them worked good on k7n2.
    so a 33% chans of success in getting a good module is considered bad.
    so write down the numbers on the chips and take it with you to the store and compare it to the memories they got.

    Assuming that you are following the written instructions available at http://docs.oracle.com that walk you through the install. And assuming you installed the correct versions of libraries. And assuming you set permissions correctly.
    I'd suggest metalink and opening an SR.
    If you didn't follow the docs ... rm -rf would be a good place to start.

Maybe you are looking for
