Konqueror: 'Detailed List View' as default...?

[acegap 0]

Being a complete newbie, could someone please tell me how to get Konqueror to open up in 'Detailed List view' as a default... (why the installation default is large icons is completely beyond me fwiw)

 

Many Thanks

After you've select Detailed List View (View -> View Mode -> Detailed List View), then select the Settings -> Save View Profile "File Management" menu selection.

gotcha. Many Thanks jboy.

Ahh.. however.. "Detailed List View" is not remaining persistent after saving the "File Management" profile.

 

Nothing persistant about it. Sometimes it remains for a very short while but mostly just reverts back to large icons. I think there is a 'Load Profile' choice or, something like that, not that I want to load a profile at every boot, but even that is not persistant.

 

Maybe this install is inferior:

 

1) I try to delete folders I have created in Konqueror (move to Wastebin) and just get the message "Creating Folders is not supported with protocol hash".

 

2) More than a few crashes. Always seems to be something 'not working' or 'nothing happens when you click it' or something or other. It just seems to be a very 'buggy' kind of thing to have sitting in front of me.

 

3) No mention of a Firewall installed anywhere in any menus, etc.

 

4) Don't see any way to change Desktop 'double-click to open' to 'single-click to open'

 

Anyway, the original problem is definitely not solved yet...

 

Thanks in advance

Post which mandriva version you installed. You need all three install cds when doing the installation. You can do a very basic installation with just cd-1 but you will get the type of problems you are experiencing if you do.

thnx pmpatrick but nope.. I'm using Mandriva 2006 and FDE 3.4 with the default 3 CD installation with no packages removed. All 3 downloads had the exact MD5's and all 3 CD burns were verified OK. Install went easy as well...

 

I had a few problematic installs to begin with so I was very careful to make sure I did everything in a straightforward kind of way (i hope - just reformatted the partitions every time)

A couple of things for mdv 2006:

 

1. Do all the updates as there were a lot of bug fixes early on with this release;

2. Uninstall the application known as "kat". It is installed and turned on by default in mdv2006 and known to be very bugy. To do that the most direct way, open a konsole and run:

 

$ su

<enter root password>

# urpme kat

yep. Many thanks pmpatrick...

 

1. no updates yet as I am trying to set up my modem in another thread lol - i am on a different computer here running Windows.

2. I read about the "kat" thing somewhere else and did nothing about it - a good idea would be to do what you have mentioned immediately. thnx again

uninstalled kat. made no difference whatsoever. even re-installed again. i am in despair with these useless large icons.
