rlemp Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi everyone! Yesterday night I tried to listen to streaming audio with Konqueror and Mozilla. I use MDK 10.0 Official. Unfortunately the links to the radio stations could not be opened inside the browsers so I used the RealPlayer G2 (command: 'realplay' in a terminal window, the one which is installed automatically by MDK). So I stored the URL-links as an icon on my KDE-desktop and I could open them with RealPlayer G2. But I had been not 100% satisfied, I wanted to get special icons for the sound files. One of the links was a *.smil type, the other one of type *.rm. The *.smil type looked good and I kept it as it was created by KDE. For the *.rm type I tried to change the properties, changed the icon and the MIME-type. After pressing OK in the properties window I saw a small box popping up that the system settings are going to be updated. After that I tried to open a normal homepage (*.shtml) but Konqueror didn't do anything, it just opened it's window and did not open the URL. Instead of opening my preferred start-URL, it took a random one from the history file, but did not open it. After pressing Return it asked me if I want to open the desired URL, I said Yes and then hundreds of windows opened. I stopped everything by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. I tried it several times, but always the same. So I tried to restore the MIME-settings but it didn't work finally. So my Konqueror is now inapplicable. Mozilla by the way is still fine and running. How can I repair Konqueror or whatever is wrong? I looked by means of the packetmanager into the dependencies and found using rpm I have to uninstall nearly the whole KDE and re-install it again. That sounds like getting rid of Outlook Express in Windoze!? Sounds like a mission impossible. Any hints/suggestions? Many thanks in advance from Sweden. /Reinhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Go to the KDE control center-->KDE components-->file-association. Type html in the searchbox and edit it. Konqueror should be on top (use 'up' 'down'). On the second tab 'KHTML' should be on top. and tick 'file display inbedded' (translated from Dutch, better look at the attachment to be sure :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlemp Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hello devries! Thank you so much, it works again! After following your suggestions I opened the konqueror and received an error message saying that file ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc can't be saved due to missing permissions. So I changed it's properties to 0666 and now everything works fine until yet. Thanks again. Best regards from the rainy Sweden /Reinhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
