Konqueror freezing

[Claude Jones]

Konqueror is freezing up each time I launch it in super-user mode. It never
finishes drawing its window, and usually stops with just the root folder icon
displayed, refusing to respond to any mouse click menu items. I just launched
it from the command line and got "An error occurred while loading
http://start.fedoraproject.org/: Cannot talk to klauncher" -- I guess the
command line "Konqueror" command defaults to browser mode, but, could the
klauncher issue be also causing the issues in file management mode? And how
can I troubleshoot klauncher?

rpm -q kdebase

If this is on f8, then this is something I think we fixed recently on
f9/rawhide, pending the usual f8/kde4 rebuilds (coming soon).

rpm -q kdebase
kdebase-3.5.9-7.fc8

running this seems to have cleared it:
rm /home/cj/.DCOPserver_*__0

Well, I spoke too soon -
methinks I have some serious issues with my KDE installation in general - I
had tried to install 4 on this machine, and while there were many packages
installed, nothing resembling 4 ever started up - unlike my machine at the
office - there was no plasma, the old panel and the old-style menu still
appeared, and many other things

Running the rpm -q kdebase produced the results above, but, at that time, I
also had a kdebase-4**** something on the machine even though the command
wasn't showing it! I'm basing that assertion on the list of installed
packages that appears in the smart GUI. I used smart to remove it, which it
says it did, in a seemingly normal fasion.

Anyhow, that's a bit more detail on this machine - if anyone has followed my
long Samba thread on the Fedora-list, there seems to be some relationship
between the DCOP server issue and problems I've had getting foreign shares to
mount - the problems noticeably went down when I ran that command to delete
the DCOP server files

Anyhow, it would seem that I've somehow corrupted those files again - all I'm
doing is trying various settings in Samba and then trying to mount my network
shares, either directly through Konqueror, or else through smbk4 -- when I
deleted those DCOP files a second time, the machine returned to normal, and I
was able to list shares I wasn't seeing previously, but, after a few moments,
opening Konqueror produced a lockup of that app within moments

so, I've got a frozen Konqueror again
