Most favicons not shown in konq (kde 3.5.6 on fc6)

[Andreas Petzold]

Hi,

since I reinstalled fc6 + kde-redhat after a hdd crash most favicons
aren't shown on konqueror tabs. Some are always shown like the favicon
of atrpms or last.fm. See this screenshot:

I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong. At first I thought I had
somehow disabled the favicons but since some are shown, I don't think
this is the case.

This used to work with kde 3.5.6 on fc6 and the .kde that I was using
since ages, but I threw that away for the reinstall.

kdebase-3.5.6-3.fc6
kdelibs-3.5.6-3.fc6

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Andreas

favicons are stored in /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER,
which is typically cleared out during reinstalls.

Go into konqueror's Bookmarks->Edit Bookmarks->Tools->Update All Favicons

Hi,

running 'update all favicons' from the bookmark editor doesn't help.
Only some favicons are shown (bookmarked or not).
/var/tmp/kdecache-petzold/favicons/ contains only the favicons that
are shown, so at least that is consistent. Really strange :-(

Cheers,

Andreas

uh huh.

I can't get kde to display/use any *.ico file either. See the thread
back in late Jan titled "Unable to open icon files".

For example, trying to use kuickshow (from konsole), I get:

$ kuickshow favicon.ico
IMLIB ERROR: Cannot load image: /.../favicon.ico
All fallbacks failed.

I can't find a resolution to this problem mentioned in that thread.

I'm now at work and can't check on my home box. The strange thing is
that at work I also have a new machine with FC6/kde 3.5.6 but with a
very old .kde and there it works fine and also kuickshow works for
favicons. And also at home, some favicons are shown. I guess for a
start I'll kompare the output of 'rpm -qa' between the machines tonight

Cheers,

Andreas

I spoke too soon. While konqueror displays the icons that are stored
as png in /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/favicons, I actually get the IMLIB
ERROR when I want to display a real .ico file.

So I suppose that konqueror does display what's already there in
/var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/favicons but nothing new gets added. Except
for a few icons like that of atrpms (why?? Is it already a png?).

This behavior probably reflects the fact that I ran 3.5.5 on my box at
work for a while before upgrading to 3.5.6. So konqueror is still
living off favicons stored when the mechanism was still working.

[Sigh]
