I have problems on some sites with Konqueror when clicking on hyperlinks
in
Kmail. Sourceforge for downloads is a big problem, resulting in a locked
up
Konqueror using 100% CPU. Same goes for my ISPs site for some stuff, and
now
a French learning site is giving me problems.

I use Konqueror most of the time, but is there a way I can get Kmail to
open
Firefox rather than Konqueror, when clicking on hyperlinks for these sites
that are being difficult.

I've looked in "Control Centre >KDE Components > Component Chooser, but
the
webbrowser isn't in it.

This is on FC2, using KDE 3.2.2-14.FC2.2.legacy.

Any suggestions welcome.

Nigel.

If these problems persists, then you should report those bugs. Of course
after you've installed the latest stable version, and tried to
reproduce with that.

I can not recall the 3.2.2 version of KDE, and neither can tell what
sort of hacks and quirks are in your FC2 version. Maybe the "Web
Browser" component was implemented later or maybe the Fedora guys just
ripped it off >:) (I have that component using 3.5.3)

Another solution would be to change the program associated with html
files. But of course it is possible that emails includes http URLs with
other than .html extensions (php, cgi etc...), and changing all the
associations is rather an unelegant and not preferred way :)

HTH,

Klipper has a nice feature that triggers actions based on pattern matching
(not activated by default). I use it quite often and find it really
useful.

With my configuration, if I right-click on a URL in KMail and choose to
copy
link address, then a pop-up pops up and offers me to open the link in Konq
or
FF, or send the URL as mail.

I checked the "enable actions" in Klipper, right clicked on the hyperlink
in
Kmail, and have only got the option of Mozilla, which is working ok, but
no
Firefox. Firefox on my FC2 is installed in /usr/local. Any suggestions on
how Klipper can link to Firefox?

Nigel.

Thats probably a waste of time with Sourceforge. They appear to be
obsessed
with ads now on their site. I used to be able to download ok from their
site
with Konqueror, but not now. FC2 is working fine, although I'm expecting
to
lose security fixes from Fedora Legacy any day now. I don't really want to
risk upgrading KDE on FC2, and possibly screwing the desktop up. I believe
the problem is not so much with Konqueror, but with some specific sites,
Sourceforge for instance.

I also have FC3,4, and 5 running on these 2 machines, and see similar
problems
with Konqueror on some sites.

Configure Klipper ... / Actions tab
edit the http entry (ie. add a subitem for konqueror)

So, for the "^https?://." action, I have (from Kubuntu):

kfmclient exec %s
kmail --body %s
kmail --attach %s

and...

ps x |grep -q '[f]irefox' && firefox -remote openURL\(%s, new-window\) ||
firefox %s
This one is a bit long, but it should prevent to start a new firefox
instance if one is already running.

Thanks. I tried it but without success. Note that trials are a bit painful
because I need to install/upgrade something to reach the point where the
error message is displayed. What is strange is that if I directly
sudo-call
the dpkg-reconfigure program, it can access the display. I believe it has
something to do with the way aptitude goes root -> I'll ask the aptitude
guys.
