Description nucleo 2011-10-21 17:10:09 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

konqueror launcher (part of Task Manager widget) randomly starts konqueror as file manager or at next attempt to start as browser with error message "Improperly Formatted URL".

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start konqueror launcher.
2. Close konqueror.
3. Start konqueror launcher again.

Actual Results:  
Error: Improperly Formatted URL
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that you entered was not properly formatted.
The format of a URL is generally as follows:
protocol://user:password@www.example.org:port/folder/filename.extension?query=value

Expected Results:  
Konqueror should start as browser without errors (not as file managed because there is file manager dolphin and konqueror is preferred browser).

Interestingly, i've only been able to reproduce this on i386, not x86_64 builds.

See also bug #284350 for the konqueror-as-filebrowser part, not sure about the improperly formatted urls part.

Comment 3 Zé 2011-10-25 23:31:44 UTC

I can reproduce this in x86_64.

To remind also that if running `kfmclient openURL %u text/html` it will open my latest used directory in my %HOME folder.

Not sure why the older bug with more detail was marked as a duplicate, nevertheless I'm reposting bug 284350 comment 0 here:


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

The tasks launcher for the konqueror web browser launches konqueror in its file
browsing mode. This happens for both the by-default installed
"preferred://browser" launcher and the launcher created by right-clicking on a
running konqueror instance and selecting "Advanced -> Show a launcher for
Konqueror when it is not running".

Examining .kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc reveals that the manually
created launcher points at kfmclient_dir.desktop. Presumably it should point at
konqbrowser.desktop instead.

Correcting this would also mean that the task launcher would have a non-blank
subtitle ("Web Browser" from GenericName) and hopefully the preferred://browser
launcher would properly disappear when konqueror is launched (as the
preferred://filemanager one does for dolphin).


Tested with:

kdelibs-4.7.2-2.fc16.x86_64
kdebase-workspace-4.7.2-1.fc16.x86_64



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open konqueror web browser from the KE menu
2, Create a task launcher from the taskbar right-click menu
3. Click on it

-or-

1. Click on the default browser task launcher (on a fresh system)

Actual Results:  
Konqueror launches in filebrowser mode.

Expected Results:  
Konqueror launches in web browser mode
