Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Hello, when I click left on link in KDE (kvirc, kmail, ...) it open konqueror as infinity loop. It result crash of the computer. See the attached screen. I have previouly set /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 as binary for open link. But now the binary is missing. Don't infinity loop when executable is missing. Prevent this type of error. Thanks to fix it.
Note: The field "Open http and https URLS in the following browser" is empty.
Created attachment 37816 [details] screen shot Note: the icon of konqueror in the task bar, it's that's when the task bar is full full full.
Do you mean that you've set your Default Browser in System Settings to a certain path that doesn't exist anymore, and now whenever you click a link instead of saying the path you've set does not exist it launches an infinite number of Konqueror instances?
yes, exactly, witch product the full system failure.
Was /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 a symlink or a real binary? If it was a symlink, have you tested if this happens with binaries as well?
I don't know, I have removed it. Can you test both?
I can, but not in the near future, that's why I asked you first :)
me too
I haven't been able to reproduce this bug on trunk; if I manually enter a path to a binary or symlink, click Apply and then remove this binary/symlink, when I click a link somewhere I get a dialog saying the given application couldn't be launched.
Have you test: - Set application - Remove the binary Try this bug?
That's what I've said I've done. Let's say there's a Firefox binary in /usr/bin/firefox. * cp /usr/bin/firefox /tmp/firefox-binary * Go to System Settings, Default Applications, Web Browser * Click the "in the following browser" option * Enter /tmp/firefox-binary in the edit box, then click Apply * Click a link in Konversation, for example: it should now open in Firefox * rm /tmp/firefox-binary * Click a link in Konversation again; a messagebox saying KDEInit couldn't launch /tmp/firefox-binary is shown, and that's all The same applies if I use ln -s /usr/bin/firefox /tmp/firefox-link as well.
I repeated the steps described in #11 and I couldn't reproduce the bug here, using trunk rev 1054664 . A warning says that the program couldn't be launched. Fixed then?
Closing as WORKSFORME then. BRULE, if you still have this issue with KDE 4.3.3, 4.3.4 or the coming 4.4.0, please reopen this bug report.
