Bug 262867 – xdg-open assumes kfmclient is installed if KDE_FULL_SESSION=true

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joe Harvell 2009-03-18 02:02:43 UTC]

gpodder fails to play a podcast, with the following error generated on stderr

/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

I am using KDE4 with split ebuilds.  I installed kdebase-startkde.  I am running a "full session" but obviously don't have the package installed containing kfmclient.

I expect apps that depend on xdg-open to use the default browser I have configured in KDE.

I get the same error using R:
help.start()
Making links in per-session dir ... done
If '/usr/bin/xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and
    you must switch to its window.
Otherwise, be patient ...

I'm using kde-svn from the git://www2.mailstation.de/git/genkde4svn.git and I also don't have konqueror installed

same error here.
seemes kfmclient is in konqueror pkg. You can find the result here:

If you wish to have a fully functional kde4 environment you should emerge kdebase-meta, this meta package depends on the smallest possible set of packages required for kde4 to run properly :)

[Comment 4 Maciej Mrozowski 2009-08-21 00:46:19 UTC]

Reopening - kfmclient needs to be either split of konqueror or konqueror added to kdebase-startkde.
Issue is there.

As Maciej stated, the minimum required dep for a working KDE environment is kdebase-startkde and not kdebase-meta.

This has now been fixed in the overlay (for versions 4.3.0, 4.3.9999, 4.3.65, and 9999)

[Comment 7 Maciej Mrozowski 2009-09-06 22:33:51 UTC]

This is now fixed in tree, please update to KDE-4.3.1, try to reproduce and resolve/fixed if no longer reproducible.

[Comment 8 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2009-09-07 11:44:59 UTC]

Indeed fixed, confirmed on my slim test install :]
