Konqueror Problems - maps.google.com, my.ebay.com

Is no one suffering from the same Konqueror misery that I am? It just freakin' crashed again with 8 tabs that I don't remember what they were anymore, but were open questions I had on forums.

Konqueror Problems - maps.google.com, my.ebay.com

Is there any prospect for fixing Konqueror failures on the two referenced websites? On maps... there are no maps, and on ebay it simply crashes disgracefully when you try to enter the control panel. And I notice that if you refresh a certain webpage (like a forum) over a couple of days Konqueror gets very unstable, blinking tabs, failing to Back, and failing to render parts of the page. I've used Konqueror for years, but these problems are getting worse and I'm concerned that it won't get better...

Dolphin KDE4

This sounds like a concern borne out of past experience with Winduhs. I've used Linux exclusively for ten years, and I can't think of any cases of this happening. What does happen occasionally is an app's developer will stop supporting it and it gradually fades into breakage. But with the following that Konqi has, I don't see an end. For the past six months I've been using OS X, and its limitations, lack of depth, and hyper-simplification is driving me nuts. I am about to wipe OS X and reinstall...

Dolphin KDE4

I am willing to give Dolphin some time to see how it develops, but I already do not like the clunky, limited interface. Dolphin's the default in Debian too. Konqi is just the best there is, in any OS.

Reality Check for 4.0 Developers

Quoted Originally posted by mshelby1 You open the gates AFTER the ferris wheel and other "big draw" rides are up and running. You open the gates and put on a show. You don't open the gates and then hope people will mill around waiting for you too get your show ready... Who ever said the gates are open?

HowTo Downrev to 3.5?

Thanks Alecs, but I have all this. Used Debian for ten years. Problem was that I needed a way to identify which K4 packages are actually installed, so I could remove them all before attempting to install 3.5. Always used KPackage, but it betrayed me in 4, and I am not willing to research command-line calesthenics. Well I ended up deinstalling all I could think of by hand, then in installing 3.5 it would refuse certain packages until others had been installed... meaning that those were the 4 pack...

Like it as we coded it?

It's early in the process and they've assured us that these missing features and settings options will come as the code is developed. But I entirely agree about the Start menu; it is far less efficient than the flyout system. Won't do at all. Why are they copying Winduhs and OS X rather than advancing the state of the art? Are they out of ideas? Here's a suggestion: please, PLEASE, help us realize the promise of an advanced object-oriented OS as we hoped Taligent would bring is. For the sad stor...

HowTo Downrev to 3.5?

Debian Lenny. To try KDE4 I used KPackage to deinstall all KDE3.5 packages. I then set inittab to boot level 3 as default and rebooted. I installed the KDE4 packages as described on the test webpage, set inittab back to level 5 and rebooted. KDE4 came up OK and I made some settings adjustments and moved around to familiarize myself. To make the settings stick I logged off and logeed back in again: POOF, no Kicker, and klaunch segfaulting. Logged off and deleted ~/.kde and .mcop as root, logged i...

HowTo Downrev to 3.5?

KDE4 has fallen to pieces on me, so I need to downrev to 3.5 again. Trouble is, KPackage4 will not disclose anything about any installed KDE4 packages so I can deinstall them, and it doesn't show any KDE3.5 packages either! Why are these packages invisible? Doesn't matter if I set it to All Packages, Installed Packages, or whatever. It's keeping them hidden. I could tear out the KDE4 packages by hand on the command-line, but I'd only be guessing which ones are installed, and certainly wouldn't g...

Virtual Desktops

Ah, never mind. KDE4's gone insane. All I get now when I log in is the desktop, Ktip, and the cashew in the upper-right. No kicker, no nothing else. I can install widgets, but something's fundamentally busted. I deleted .kde and .mcop in user directory, but no change. Back to 3.5 for me.

Virtual Desktops

You guys have more than one desktop? How did you get them? I have no applets at all for Kicker, much less the pager. I can't even get Kicker at the top of the screen where I like it to be. There are no Preferences.

Reality Check for 4.0 Developers

Quoted Originally posted by MikeBlamires I don't think it makes that much sense that it's not built in for the release at all (although premature inclusion is also wrong). So you can't understand that the whole world can not be built all at once? You think Rome was built in a day? Patience my lad, patience.

Reality Check for 4.0 Developers

It makes all the sense in the world that the configurability and usability is just not built in yet. But it will be. But I do not understand why Beryl or Fusion is not built in, or at least an option? Will it be?

really neat feature that just has to be added to KDE

We can do that in OS X by highlighting the formula, hitting the Opera pulldown (or whatever app you're running) selecting Services|CalcService. Probably possible in Linux directly too. It's likely just Winduhs that's backwards for not having this built-in.

KDE First Impressions

Yeah, but what does that mean? Everyone has a different idea. Personally I think the style needs to be much tighter and sharper, not this Plastik schite. And the app naming is complained about alot, but nothing changes. I am just happy that it is as object-oriented as it is, since almost no one else does this. Wish it were more so, to really harness the power of this advanced technology.

KDE First Impressions

Well this is true, but not without good reason. For a power-user K has all the depth and configurability you will ever need. Many things are behind the scenes waiting to be used, and everything can be changed, including that K individually if you get proficient enough. check out kde-look.org for styles. I used to like Baghira (Mac-like), but now I like darker styles to emphasize the work and not the frames.

Konq on OS X

I've been running OS X for six months now (after 10 years on Debian), and I very much miss Konqueror file manager. Finder sucks. There used to be a project to port Konq to OS X, but that seems to be dead now. I know Konq is complex, but is there any way to make it run on OS X?

Distro of choice for KDE 4?

Not the same thing. I always set my panel at the top. But what's in the screenshots holds only applications, just like Dock in OS X. I'll look around as I have time. Your English is excellent, BTW.

In some of the screenshots it looks like it has a Dock app just like OS X.
