Description Anders Lund 2006-01-10 20:51:21 UTC

Version:           3.5 (using KDE 3.5.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.14-gentoo-r4

For example when trying to go to settings:/Periphals/Mouse, konqeuror asks what I want to do with it, claiming that it is a plain text file, and offers to open it with the app associated with text/plain. When accepting that, the kcm module is loaded.

:o

Comment 1 Stephen DeGabriele 2006-01-10 20:53:45 UTC

This also happens to me.  In addition when loading settings:/Peripherals/Keyboard it brings up Gnome's keyboard settings instead of KDE's (It works properly in kcontrol thoough).

Comment 2 Thiago Macieira 2006-01-10 21:07:00 UTC

Works fine here. Do the menu entries inside your Settings menu work? Do they launch the Gnome controls as well?

Can you paste or attach the output file of:
kioexec cp settings:/Peripherals/Keyboard /tmp/output

Sorry, this won't work with cp. I had tried cat:

kioexec cat settings:/Peripherals/Keyboard > /tmp/output

As Thiago asked for

Comment 6 Philippe Cloutier 2007-09-16 03:28:38 UTC

Thiago, did you try with "Alt+F2"? I can reproduce, but I must really use *konqueror*.

Comment 7 Thiago Macieira 2007-09-16 10:12:40 UTC

Same here, but you're not supposed to do that.

Comment 8 Maarten De Meyer 2012-03-06 10:00:12 UTC

Can somebody still reproduce on KDE SC 4?

Comment 9 Nate Graham 2018-06-29 17:53:50 UTC

Can reproduce using Dolphin. Not sure it's worth fixing though since:
- This is a very infrequenly-used KIOSlave
- Dolphin doesn't really continue with the whole "everything is a file on your filesystem" paradigm
- There are a number of easy methods to launch a specific KCM directly including using KRunner (GUI) and `kcmshell <kcm name>` (CLI)
