Hi everybody:
I am running openSUSE 11.1 with fully updated KDE 4.2.1
Yesterday, after downloading the latest updates, mostly KDE’s, I clicked on “My computer” folder to check the version, Kanqueror opened up initially,then it crashed briniging up the crash report dialog box. I rebooted the system and tried again. The same happend.
Any suggestions please?
Thank you!
Try to delete konqueror folder in your home directory. I think it is located in /home/your_username/.kde4/share/apps/.
Regards.
Thanks for your reply!
I did delete the konqueror folder as you instructed. The problem still remains. I still get the crash handler dialog box, when I click on “My Computer” folder.
Any other solution?
See properties of icon and tell us the location that icon use as target. Is it sysinfo:/ ?
Try to start konqueror through console (just press Alt+F2 type konsole and then in konsole type konqueror). Does it crash or not? See if any unusual messages are shown in konsole output. If problem is still present try to update konqueror through yast.
Same problem here, weird thing is I have two identical installs on both laptop and server, laptop is OK, server crashes konqueror on sysinfo:/
Already logged out and renamed all konqueror files. Still crashes. Also for any user, incl. root. Solutions by asmerito have already been applied, no result.
Yes it is.
Try to start konqueror through console (just press Alt+F2 type konsole and then in konsole type konqueror). Does it crash or not?.
Yes. It crashes exactly the same way as before (non-konsole).
See if any unusual messages are shown in konsole output. If problem is still present try to update konqueror through yast.
No message at all. Opens up Konqueror looking for sysinfo, and crashes right away.
BTW, I did remove and re-installed the Konqueror through YaSt to no avail. Also, if I run konqueror as a browser from the menu, it opens up ok. I believe the culprit is sysinfo.
Thanks again!
Did you solve the problem?
If not, one last idea…
Webpin
Uninstall old sysinfo packages through YAST and install these labeled STABLE from the link (just click on gray install button and follow instructions). If this is not helping, report a bug.
regards
They’re getting there: I can start ‘konqueror sysinfo:/’, but only maximized, restoring it’s original size makes it crash. I’ll file a bugreport this evening
If I start an empty Konqueror, max it, close it, I can call sysinfo:/, if I resize an instance of konqueror, close it and start konqueror sysinfo:/ it crashes
If you can reproduce this behaviour on konqueror and sysinfo, report a bug with steps what you did to make konqueror crash.
By me, konqueror and sysinfo work just fine, and versions I am using are:
kde4-kio_sysinfo-branding-upstream-11.2-5.14
kde4-kio_sysinfo-11.1.1-68.32
kde4-konqueror-plugins-4.2.0-39.42
kde4-konqueror-4.2.1-74.6
kde4-konqueror-plugins-lang-4.2.0-39.1
There were a new bunch of KDE4 upgrade today which evidently upgrade all of the above listed files. I did install today’s upgrade. Then I tried my system again. After a one time maxing the Konqueror and a second time switching back to the original size, it seem to be Ok and it loads sysinfo now.So, i am hoping that in my case this issue is resolved now.
Thanks to all!
Well strange behaviour… I have older version of those packages now, but for me everything was working fine. I’m glad your problem is solved by trivial update. 
Good luck with OpenSuSE 
I’m running the following:
kde4-kio_sysinfo-11.1.1-68.38
kde4-kio_sysinfo-branding-openSUSE-11.1.1-68.38
kde4-konqueror-plugins-4.2.0-39.51
kde4-konqueror-plugins-debuginfo-4.2.0-39.51
kde4-konqueror-plugins-lang-4.2.0-39.51
kde4-konqueror-4.2.1-78.1
As am I. It worked fine with my install when I had release “108” (I never rolled back a lot of packages). But I reinstalled after I downloaded the newest xorg drivers that wouldn’t let me start x, even after a rollback.
My Desktop computer’s sysinfo works but it’s at KDE 4.2.1 release “104”. I’m afraid to update that one.
But I guess that’s what you get for using the factory repos :\
Doing the whole open konqueror>restore>close>open konqueror>maximize>close>open sysinfo in konqueror works. But as soon as I try to change the size of the window konqueror crashes.
This is what running it in konsole gives:

The KAction part is me getting into sysinfo. The whole QPainter part is when I try to resize it.
I think I’m onto something! I made a live-usb and updated all its packages. In fact, I’m typing this from the live-usb right now. Anyways, I’m using KDE 4.2.1 “106”. I was using the Qt 4.5 repositories before, but on this live-usb I have the Qt 4.4 repository (qt 4.4.3) and Konqueror doesn’t crash when using sysinfo! I’ll have to try reverting Qt to 4.4.3 on my actual hard drive installation to test it out first.
I can confirm QT45 is an issue here. And the Build service recommend you not use it with 4.2.x
Yeah I finally saw that when searching for the Qt repositories for this live-usb.
But for the past couple installs I was using the KDE 4.2 live-cd based on OpenSUSE 11.1 (linked to from the kde.org website) to install and it had the QT 4.5 repo as the default. Thanks for confirming that though
