Dear friends: Just did a complete, FRESH INSTALL of Debian 3.1. From scratch. Complete reformat and installation. I did it not just for Kmail but because of a number of unrelated issues.
First thing I did was to check the URL in Kmail. Guess what? It shows the exact same bug as before: First you see the damn download box, then Konqueror launches, sits there for a good long time, then you can see "25%" in the status progress bar, then you see the text and outline of the site and finally the site itself, with all its images, downloads. The exact same sequence of events as before in my earlier Debian 3.1 installation and, before that, in Scientific Linux 4 (a derivative of RHEL 4). When I looked under Component Chooser, I saw that no browser was chosen (option 1: depending on content). Since Konqueror failed, I chose Epiphany, tested. Works fine in launching a URL in Kmail. And, once again, if you launch it from the console, you get the exact same error message. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ konqueror konqueror: ERROR: Error in BrowserExtension::actionSlotMap(), unknown action : searchProvider [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Yet, konqueror launches normally and when you type a URL in this console-launched Konqueror, it shows up immediately, i.e. normally. That's where things stand. Thank you. Benjamin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
