Description Tim 2009-12-20 19:59:28 UTC

Version:           1.0.2 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When in the "Welcome to KMyMoney" - home window, clicking on any of the links that should open a browser gives me an error message: kmfclient could not be found.  Does KMM not use the system default browser? (My default is Swiftfox.)

Don't know if this is related, but I could not send this bug report using the "Submit Bug Report" option in Help menu.

Reassigned to kmymoney2, because this is the KDE3 version.

Also, this problem is on the package provided by the distribution, because it does not provide default kde settings and the packages do not install the necessary applications to launch the browser. KMyMoney will attempt to launch the KDE's default browser. It throws an error because the service necessary for that (a KDE3 service) is not there.

Is this something that can be fixed in KMM2, or is this problem up to KDE4 devel to solve?  Can these features be removed if running on KDE4?

Comment 3 Alvaro Soliverez 2009-12-22 02:07:37 UTC

The problem is not in KMM2 nor in KDE4, but in Ubuntu, which does not provide the necessary dependencies. Actually, KMyMoney is not the only KDE3 application affected by this kind of problems.

Moving this wish to kmymoney4.

If this happens it's definitely a packaging problem.
