Konqueror


Posts: 3

I've using Linux for a few years, and I really like SimplyMEPIS. Everything loaded easily, but I'm having a problem with my "Home" folder. When I click on the taskbar "Home" icon or scroll through the menus to get to Konqueror the cursor bounces for a while, then nothing happens. I can open the file manager while logged in as "root". I even tried adding another user and can open Konqueror that way. Why won't it open using my normal login? I thought it might be a permission issue but when I compare permissions among the other logins there doesn't seem to be any difference. Thanks for any help.

John, First of all welcome

John,
First of all welcome to Mepis Smiling

My "home" icon points to "kfmclient openProfile filemanagement" and it works, you can check to see if you have the same thing.

Try also to execute this "kfmclient openProfile filemanagement" in konsole to see if you get any error messages. If nothing works you can remap the home icon to somethink like "konqueror /home/user" that should work to. Just right click on the icon and choose Properties -> Application tab -> command (set that command here).

Konqueror

Thanks for replying to my query, Adrian. I tried what you said in Konsole, but it just hangs and returns no error message. I did notice that my login in Konsole seems different than other versions of Linux. In the past it has said something like "john@localhost" or something like that. Now it says "john@0(~)$". Maybe my account has been created wrongly? I tried changing the path in the Home folder as you suggested and the message is "no /home/user".

"user" should be your usernam

"user" should be your username. If you create a link on screen and you chose as command: "konqueror /home/your_username" than that should work and open your home directory in konqueror.
