Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.3) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Embedded an object in a html-page like this: <object data="file://dev/mouse" type="text/plain"></object> If you open this page with konqueror you will loosing your mouse-control. I think you understand:-) I think there are other devices which can manipulated. Greetings, Tilo Ulbrich
If that's the case it is your/your kernels fault.
wrong.
there is no crash.
Subject: Re: HTML object tag with link to devices /dev cause malfunctions Konqi freezing on "/dev/modem" on my computer too (linux kernel 2.4.10) But it seems to be a not - khtml (or a not - KDE?) bug because if I try load "/dev/mouse" in Kate, it's crashing too. And normally there should be no reason for a crash because it's only a read-event like cat /dev/mouse (but cat doesn't crash?!). If no more systems are effected we can close my report and I have to update my kernel.
