Version: 2.2.1 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Gentoo) Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-gentoo Instead of taking me to the relevant section of the article, they open a konqueror window on the "welcome screen". It might be worth noting that konqueror is my default file manager, but not web browser.
I also found that it's started with a command like this: kdeinit4: konqueror [kdeinit] -mimetype text/html about:blank#Musical_style
I can't reproduce this for Wikipedia links, those work perfectly well in the wikipedia applet. But external links are indeed launching Konqueror by default, seems to be hardcoded. The links themselves are not opened at all.
Forgot to increment the version, using Amarok 2.2.-git
On my system external links (to non-wikipedia sites) open correctly in firefox. Links to other wikipedia articles also open correctly in the applet. Only jumping to other sections of the same article doesn't work. (I noticed it's also true for footnotes).
Well, part of what you describe is solved in Amarok 2.2-git, the Wikipedia links are opened in the Wikipedia applet, but external links (and footnotes are external links most of the time) not.
Sorry, by 'footnotes' I meant the clickable numbers in the article that move the page down to the actual footnote.
Yes, it tries to open in Konqueror but actually only opens a Konqueror window.
Weird. When I click on a wikipedia link in the applet (eg. "Leipzig"), Konqueror (which is neither my default file manager nor my default browser) pops up trying to show file:///wiki/Leipzig. But it works, when I do right click > Open link! External links open in my default browser (no problem). (Amarok 2.2.2 in KDE 4.3.5, Mandriva 2010.0)

(I don't find other bug report about that)
*** Bug 225986 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
when clicking on an internal wikipedia link in the applet, I get the message "could not execute command. File or folder "file:///wiki/Pianist" does not exist" external links from the applet open konqueror and work correctly. running amarok 2.2.2 on anrchlinux.
There are different pbs here : - clickable numbers and section direct access is broken b/c the # character is not correctly handled, I'll have a look on that. - the "file:///wiki/Pianist" pb should be solved in git head now, it was a regression - External link opend with konky is not hardcoded, check your system setting default browser, and default file association, aka clicking on any *.html local file from Dolphin should open the desired web browser -Simon
Arf, the '#' thing is just no fun. The page is fetched and loaded correctly, but the page just doesn't scroll to the position of the link, as we parse manually html in order to remove some unwanted data, and then pass the fake page to a Plasma web view which can't handle #blabla stuff. So we need to implement manually the "jump" function intended for a fragment part URL like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Bloody_Valentine#citation3 I'm to lazy for that, and don't see a simple solution. Anyone else ? -Simon
Changing target.
Fixed in 2.4-GIT: - clickable numbers lead directly to the correct footnote - links to other wikipedia pages lead to them in amarok's wikipedia applet - external links open with the configured browser (firefox in my case) not with Konqueror Can be closed, I think
Closing as fixed, thanks for testing. Please all, check outh the latest Amarok 2.4 beta, released 2 days ago.
