Konqueror strangeness

ralvy · 2006-05-18 15:10:50

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).

So it have probably something to do with a tweak archLinux does with his binary version ... which we should be able to revert back if we can find what cause that behavior ! I have a Gentoo at home, but will not be there 'til tomorrow night, I'll check if I have to same problem, I cannot remember ... maybe it have something to do with the latest version of KDE ? I have the same version of KDE on Gentoo and archLinux ... so I will be able to compare apple with apple !

Get back to you as soon as possible with that !

Have a nice day !

From Tobias: "fixed in kde 3.5.3 packages"

Just out of curiosity, when will KDE 3.5.3 be released?
I'v been browsing the www to find out, but without any luck.

KDE 3.5.2 has a couple of nasty bugs (especially with handling of mountpoints through kio-slaves eg. media) and i have been avoiding KDE for a while now. I have been waiting (impatiently!) for the day 3.5.3 arrives...
