#151 Fix the Konqueror start stop test
Closed: Fixed 5 years ago by lruzicka. Opened 5 years ago by lruzicka.

It seems that now Konqueror displays a Locations dialogue to set paths to various directories. The dialogue must be handled.


I'm not sure this is entirely right. Have you looked at the video of the failed test? It is not actually launching Konqueror per se any more. It is launching "Locations - Locations for Personal FIles". I would talk to the KDE team about what's going on here. Is 'Konqueror' as a standalone app not meant to be available any more? Is it meant to be available but has been lost?

I have sent an inquiry to the KDE list and I will act according to their answer. Thanks for letting me know.

From the KDE test list (until now):

I have been using konqueror as my default file manager and viewer for
at least 15 years. I don't use it as a browser, and dolphin seems not
to offer useful things like bookmarks.

In my el7 system konqueror is invoked from the menu by

'kdesu kfmclient openProfile filemanagement'

and in fc30 by 'kfmclient openURL' with the start screen set to ~

These are almost certainly neither optimum nor the system defaults, but
I can work with them. The biggest problem is remembering what they are
if I want to set up another system. konqueror would certainly be easier.

Today, I installed KDE Live onto a bare machine to test for various KDE flaws and realized that Konqueror is not installed by default. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1818784

so, they say it was removed on purpose, which means the appropriate change for us would be to remove this module from the test, or skip it on F32+ (since we do still test F31 live respins).

Ok, let's block it for 32 and later for the time's being and we will remove it later.

This has been merged already.
