screen shot of what I got after konqueror crashed at amazon.com

Since I switched to kubuntu 18.04, I have tried to use konqueror on several occasions, but the only thing it has done for me is crash immediately when I try to open anything.

Most recently I tried to open the index.html in /usr/share/doc/python2.7/html.

I tried to generate an error report, but it said it could not, and I should report the bug here.

Just now I opened it to get the version number, I hit home, and it opened https://www.kde.org/ OK for a second, then it crashed.

Just now I went to amazon.com, and it crashed. I went in again, and took the attached screen shot.

I want to have another browser available, but konqueror does not function as a browser.

On my laptop, konqueror is working OK -- I am using it now.

In Help About, konqueror says version 5.0.97.

It was installed from ubuntu packages konqueror amd64 4:17.12.3-0ubuntu1

If it works on one system, but not on the other, we would need to find the differences. Are you using the same distribution on both? Does it work with a different (freshly-created) user account?

> Are you using the same distribution on both? 

Yes, kubuntu 18.04

Konq always/only crashes on my desktop and is working on my laptop.  I am traveling, and I will get back to my desktop on October 31st.  We can experiment then. (It is OK to put this on hold until then.)

I'm back from my travels and can troubleshoot this.

BTW, I am having this problem on my residence desktop.  A few days ago, the hard drive died on my office desktop.  I installed kubuntu 18.04 on a replacement hard drive.  I installed konqueror and tried to load it, and yes it crashed instantly.
