Description Joe Harvell 2009-01-11 20:07:08 UTC

In KDE4, I click on Applications->System->Manage Printing and nothing happens.

Expected Behavior is that a browser opens to manage printing through the CUPS http interface.

Using KDE Menu Editor, I notice that the Command for this item is "xdg-open http://localhost:631/."  When I execute that from a shell, I get the following:

$ xdg-open http://localhost:631
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 329: kfmclient: command not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 321: test: : integer expression expected
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 322: test: : integer expression expected
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 323: test: : integer expression expected

Clearly xdg-open has a runtime dependency on whatever package contains kfmclient.  I'm not sure how to find out which package that is.  The comments in Bug #252638 seem to indicate that is in kde-base/konqueror.

I don't use konqueror, so I hope the fix doesn't mean this package gets pulled in.  I would hope to be able to use "Manage Printing" without having to install konqueror.

By the way, what happened to the KDE print management utilities?

Well I guess, even with adjusted dependencies, xdg-open would still fail as reported in bug #252638

Well that's the expected behaviour of xdg-open. xdg-open uses the default apps as defined by the desktop environment you're using. So if you're logged into a KDE session it'll try to use kfmclient. You can change this KDE setting via KDE's systemsettings or by manually editing .kde/share/config/kdeglobals to suite your needs:

[General]
BrowserApplication[$e]=!firefox
