Description Kevin Goeser 2006-08-18 07:48:50 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          gcc-4.1 
OS:                Linux

Whenever the session restores a konqueror window with a lot of tabs (usually some folders and more kpdf instances), I get the above error message for each tab which shows a folder. The tab stays empty, but after a refresh everything is back to normal.
There are some similar bug reports, like e.g. bug #97148. But they occur on different occations. Bug #85599 sounds somehow similar, sinds the system load durng KDE startup is quite high.

I see this regulary as well, though not all the time. One annoying side effect seems to be that it basicly seems to kill my desktop: no more icons there, and RMB menus in konqueror sessions won't pop up anymore.

Comment 2 Roman I Khimov 2006-11-19 18:59:16 UTC

Same thing here, 5 desktops, 5 Konqueror instances, tabs:

rik@pu-erh:~$ for i in /home/rik/.kde/share/config/session/konqueror_*; do cat $i | grep -E "ViewT[0-9]+_URL" | wc -l; done
45
11
10
9
37

Happens all the time. Not that much annoying, but still a bug.

Comment 3 Erik Hensema 2006-11-20 09:49:02 UTC

The problem will probaby go away when you run nscd on your system. This is a daemon which caches name services, such as dns.

Comment 4 FACORAT Fabrice 2006-11-21 17:35:19 UTC

I have also this issue.
I will test with nscd, however as this bug was not present before, for me it's a regression.

Comment 5 Christian Berger 2007-02-12 18:14:12 UTC

I have the same issue on KDE 3.5.5 on a freshly installed kubuntu 6.10 system. It doesn't seem to depend on the home directory at all as it happens with an old directory as well as a new one.
KDE also seems to be glacially slow on this machine althought this is a Pentium II 233 MHz with a whopping 256 megabytes of RAM.

Same issue on a kubuntu 6.10 KDE 3.5.5 System, 
Thinkpad 600 E PII 366 MHz 288 MB RAM, Desktop Icons disappears and reapers i if crete a new icon. Very annying bug for a beginners system.

Comment 7 hr 2007-04-09 09:51:52 UTC

The bug seems to be gone 
after i changed the desktop background to no picture
and  clicked in System settings -> Kde Ressources -> Kontact -> resource file -> use as Standard Settings -> Apply. Dont know which one of the both actions did the   
fix.

I am getting this error to. When I reboot  a fresh installed KDE system, Im getting the box right after I log in. No icons on my desktop, but when i create a new icon I get my other icons back. Strange. But if I do like hr 
"he bug seems to be gone
after i changed the desktop background to no picture
and  clicked in System settings -> Kde Ressources -> Kontact -> resource file -> use as Standard Settings -> Apply"
The bug is gone. When I try to change back to a background with an image, I get the error again. Nasty little bug!!
I didnt help me trying to install and run the nscd.

I want my background image back :)

Comment 9 Martin Slot 2007-11-19 15:50:30 UTC

When I use an svg image as a background image, I dont get the error!! Yabiiiihu :)
