I can use Konqueror to browse my filesystem but not the web. One of two things happens: 1) Either it just crashes, or 2) it displays an “Operation could not be completed” error page. The former occurs if I type something into the address bar that may require some guesswork, like yahoo.com, and in this case I may get a chance to restart the session. The latter occurs if I type a complete url like http://www.yahoo.com or if I type a term in the google search box. It suggests disabling the firewall; I have, to no avail. Same thing happens with rekonq but not with epiphany or firefox or chrome. I use openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.7. This problem occurred after upgrading to 4.7 - not sure if it was immediate upon upgrade - but before recent issues with the R47 repo. Of course, hoping to fix Konqueror, I updated all of my R47 packages and got caught up in the black screen problem, but now that’s resolved and Konqueror still crashes. Any ideas?
I like Chrome but want Konqueror as a backup, no need to install other browsers as long as it works, but I suppose that’s the alternative. Downgrading Konqueror would downgrade its library and dolphin as well; I’d rather avoid that, as I had a weird issue with my mouse getting “trapped” in an app in 4.6 - I could still work inside that app, but clicks did not register in other apps or plasma generally, such as the start menu or the “x” button to close the app in question on its own window decoration. This issue has not recurred in 4.7, so I’d rather keep the version than keep Konqueror if it comes to that.

the only thing i can think of is proxy settings. do you access the
internet directly, or via a proxy server? in konqueror, this can be
configured under configure konqueror → web browsing → proxy. there’s
system wide proxy-settings under KDE systemsettings as well. at times, not
with konqueror but other KDE components, i had to set those system wide
proxy settings explicitly to “access the internet directly,” while other
applications were happy with no selection, which should default to
“…directly.”
Thanks for the reply, phani. Alas I already have “access internet directly” in global settings and seems to have carried over to Konqueror. Problem persists with either webkit or KHTML engine, and of course I’d prefer KHTML because I foresee using Konqueror when I have some issue with webkit-based browsers. -GEF

in that case, i have no further ideas what might be causing this. i’ve
never experienced konqueror stalling at http connections. hope somebody
else comes up with something…

This may be be due to some package conflicts, or at least inconsistent libraries, since the KDE4 upgrade.
Check the repos you have enabled concurrently. (Post the list here).
Seems to be hit or miss, but mostly miss. Occasionally gets through to google, rarely to any other site. Opens my router reliably, but it seems a bit slow (maybe I’m spoiled by Chrome). DNS lookup seems to work: If I type a numeric ip address into the bar, I’m as likely to reach a site as if I type its url. -GEF

the question asked by deano ferrari is important, i.e., what repos are you
using? something is messed up, and the first thing to check is where you
get your installation & updates from.
another thing to do is create a new user account on your machine and see
if konqueror behaves as strangely when you log in as this new user, with
all the default settings intact. if that’s not the case, something went
wrong in your normal user’s configuration.
I have Education for SciLab, KDE Extras for KOrganizer integration with Google Calander. Most of these I keep disabled except R47, and that one I update whenever I remember to.
Konqueror still works fine as a file manager, no trouble with Dolphin either. I briefly installed Rekonq and it had the same problem.
deano asked for the output of “zypper lr -d” – not what you think ought to happen. It would also help if you told us what version of Konqueror yo are using (Help > About Konqueror). Thr Release:/47 repository has only updated to Konqueror-4.7.1 in the last few hours, and has not been very stable (cf. Factory-oss) for the past week or so.
Hi eng-int. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I ran the command zypper lr -d. It listed all of those repositories, together with their “names” which were mostly the same as their addresses, making each line wrap when I pasted into my response. For clarity, I listed only the urls.
I have Konqueror 4.7.0, and I see 4.7.1 is now in the repo, so I’ll try upgrading. However, I had this problem back on 4.6.5; I upgraded to 4.7 in the hope to fix it.
Upgraded to Konqueror 4.7.1, also upgraded libs per post 11 above, and Konqueror seems to be working fine now. Thanks for teaching me a couple of zypper tricks along the way. -GEF

Glad you’re out of the woods now. Well done.

When posting output from a console, it is generally a good idea to present it within code tags.
