Description Vincenzo Ciancia 2005-12-11 22:09:34 UTC

Version:           3.5.0-1.0.fc3.kde (using KDE 3.5.0-1.0.fc3.kde, Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-1.766_FC3

The bug can be reproduced simply: root creates a file in an user's Desktop folder or in a directory which is opened in konqueror. Then konqueror's property dialog shows root ownership. Now the user closes the property dialog, but not the konqueror window. Then root does a chmod on the file, but opening the properties dialog again shows old (cached?) ownership.

This is not just a matter of noticing when permissions are changed, because I would expect konqueror to update this information at least when left-clicking and opening the properties dialog.

My KDE install has my own patch for 

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106394

and, with this patch, I cannot reproduce your bug.  Can someone using a "stock" KDE install try to reproduce?

Comment 2 Philip Rodrigues 2007-01-06 23:38:12 UTC

worksforme, svn r620k on freebsd with no patches

Comment 3 Jo Øiongen 2007-01-06 23:55:10 UTC

I can reproduce using KDE and Konqueror 3.5.5 on Gentoo. Tried with both chmod, chgrp and chown. Same behaviour. Looks like the property dialog i s using cached information.  I need to hit F5 to get thecorrect information in the property window.

Cheers Jo

Comment 4 illogic-al 2007-01-07 00:00:16 UTC

I can confirm that this happens in 3.5.5

TO reproduce:
1. Create a file as root. e.g. do 'sudo touch file'
2. View its properties in Konqueror (Right click on file -> Properties menu entry)
3. Change perms. e.g. 'sudo chown _username_ file' 
4. Without refreshing the konqueror window view the properties of 'file' again
5. They will still be listed as belonging to root.

Comment 6 Antonio 2008-05-15 16:50:46 UTC

I can confirm that this bug is present in KDE 3.5.9. with Debian testing and Debian unstable.

Also, related to this, Konqueror does not update the list of files for VFAT and NTFS filesystems when files are created or deleted from a console.

Comment 7 Janek Bevendorff 2012-06-18 17:46:27 UTC

Message from the Bugsquad and Konqueror teams: This bug is closed as outdated, as we do not have the manpower to maintain the KDE3 version anymore. If you still can reproduce this issue with Konqueror 4.8.4 or later, please open a new report. Thank you for your understanding.

Comment 8 Dawit Alemayehu 2012-08-03 19:01:59 UTC

FYI. There is an equivalent bug report against KDE 4.9 for this very same issue. See bug# 173733 ; so this issue has not been resolved at all.
