I use windowmaker as a windowmanager, and konqueror as my browser. when I upgraded KDE to 3.1.1-r1 (i think), I could no longer use konqueror. I waited for another upgrade (to KDE3.1.1a) and I still have this problem. When I open konqueror, a dialogue box pops up that says "protocol not supported \n file" If I put a url in the address bar, i get a dialogue box that says "protocol not supported \n html" I will attach what is printed to the command prompt also.

Created attachment 10564 [details] what is printed to the console when i run konqueror
try removing ~/.kde/tmp-$HOSTNAME/ksycoca and running kbuildsycoca
after trying the fix (remove ~/.kde/tmp-$HOSTNAME/ksycoca and run kbuildsycoca), i get a different error: sh-2.05b$ konqueror DCOPServer up and running. konqueror: relocation error: /usr/kde/3/lib/kde3/konq_iconview.so: undefined symbol: _ZN11KonqDirPart14saveNameFilterER11QDataStream
try to remerge again kdelibs/kdebase
after emerging kdelibs/kdebase, i am back to the original error
try removing the full ~/.kde and kill all kde-related process
tried: 1) deleting ~/.kde/ and running konqueror result: same error (protocol not supported...) 2) redeleting ~/.kde/, re-emerging kdelibs and kdebase, rebooting result: same error (protocol not supported...) I am not sure at what point it occured, but somewhere the error changed when I try to go to a url - it used to be "Protocol not supported: html", now it is "Malformed url: www.cnn.com". When it tries to load my home (/home/richk/), it still gives "Protocol hot supported: file".
did you try starting kde and then using konqueror? please make this test (and see if after that, works also without kde)
I tried starting KDE, and that failed miserably. I created an attachment with the results of the attempt (note that I tried starting it twice actually). It died almost immediately after running kdeinit. I just replaced wmaker (my usual windowmanager) with kdeinit in my .xinitrc file. Perhaps I need to do more to get KDE to run properly? I dont have time to look at it until tonight.
Created attachment 10628 [details] results of trying to start KDE
you rebooted before trying that? if not please reboot. To start kde you should use the script "startkde"
also (re)emerge kde-env package
okay, i tried: 1) emerge kde-env 2) rm -rf .kde; emerge kdelibs kdebase kde-env 3) etc-update and updated all KDE files 4) starting KDE using startkde Actually using the correct command to start KDE makes a big difference - it now starts fine. however, konqueror, as well as all the other KDE programs (kate, control panel ...) fail to start, saying "service not found Services/konqueror" or something similar to that. I have been rebooting frequently as I try stuff - it almost feels like I am using windows. It looks to me like my KDE configuration is just very messed up since, I cant use any of the main programs. However, I can run some KDE programs, such as ksirtet. I am not sure what the difference is. Hmmmmmmm. If I run ksirtet, and choose "configure shortcuts", i get the KDE 3.0.x keybindings config (as evidenced by the fact that it will not allow me to set a single key as a shortcut - which was corrected in 3.1.x I think).
check in your /etc/env.d dir if there are old file from kde 3.0.x, eventually remove them and again env-update, also remove again the ksycoca file and run kbuildsycoca
success. there were kde3.0.x files in /etc/env.d/, so i did as you suggested: removed them, ran etc-update, removed ksyscoca, ran kbuildsyscoca, and emerge kdelibs kdebase kde-env. konqueror seems to work fine. thank you both very much for your help. it is so nice to have konqueror back.
fixed
