I have also suffered from this problem. It was rather annoying as I was due to demonstrate (on my laptop which wasn't connected to a network) a PHP/MySQL project I'd been working on and had to use Firefox after being embarrassed by Konqueror. Don't get me wrong Konqueror is my favourite browser (hence why I went to it first) but as it's the only web browser installed in Kubuntu by default this could course big problems for users. I was only saved as I had Firefox installed for cross browser testing.
P.S. Here's an interesting article on this with a few possible workarounds too. http://movingparts.net/2007/11/07/kde-networkmanager-workaround/ -- Konqueror refuses to resolve localhost and 127.0.0.1 in some cases https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112244 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
