Konqueror
« on: December 21, 2004, 07:02:44 am »
Hi All,

I installed Konqueror from the pdaxrom feed on my rc5, and it seemed to install fine, but when I fire it up and put in a url nothing happens, even if I leave it for 10 minutes or so. All that happens is that the cursor blinks in the address box, and the reload button becomes active, but that's it, almost as if it doesn't think I've pressed OK or enter. Also, in the conifigure options from the dropdown list, there is an option for seeing a status bar, but when I enable it nothing happens.

I've got it installed on a 256Mb ext2 formatted sd card, with plenty of space left on it, and it doesn't give me any errors (or any kind of feedback at all if it's run from the command line) so I'm a bit confused. Does it have any dependencies that I should install, or is there another version (this is 1.51) that I can try?

Thanks

Jo

Hi, I tried installing konq/E 1.51 straight to the internal memory on my 1.1.0rc8 c760 with the exact same results as you had.  I'm guessing there's a hidden library dependency somewhere?  I've tried the few tricks I know, like grabbing older libraries from Debian & pointing konq at them, to no avail here.

It'd be great to get a real graphical non-Gecko browser for pdaXrom (esp. since my work's online scheduler works with KHTML and with Opera but not with Gecko (or Dillo)).  I haven't had any luck finding a libqpe that'll allow Opera mobile to run either.  Has anyone else gotten Opera or Konq running on rc8?

(Konqueror works fine in the debian chroot.)

Can't you use firefox ? I've been using it on pdaX and I think it can do the things you need.

Cheers,
Chero.

or links, starting it from the menu or with  links -g, you have a graphical browser with frame and limited javascript support.

Alas, I can't use firefox or links for this one task: it's a web interface
to FileMakerPro7 which is "designed for use with Safari 1.1 or IE 5.1 or 5.2".
(Stupid, I know, but there's nothing to be done about it.)  On the desktop Opera
works fine with it, while Moz & FF let me log in but then can't navigate at all,
and FMP7 doesn't thinks links -g even has javascript in the first place.
And the same things happen on pdaX.  Hence the desire for Opera or for Konq
(which, like Safari, is KHTML-based).

I wonder if there's any chance that Opera would work if I could just find
a reasonable version of libqt3 and libqpe?  I've already got most of the
other older versions of X11 libraries that older apps seem to require.


[SL-C760 "spoon" with pdaXrom 1.1.0rc8, 32MB Panasonic SD (after my 256MB
Viking started giving too many I/O errors) & AmbiCom CF 802.11b cards]

...sorry for the wacky formatting.  I'm posting this from lynx.

That's what I've ended up using. At the time I wrote the first message I was trying out a few bits and pieces that seemed to make my whole system run a lot slower and firefox wasn't really usable, but now I've stripped things down a bit and it's fine. I'm very happy with it.

Actually, I'm happy with Dillo for most things, but there are some vital things (for me) that it falls over on, so for those I use firefox.

Well, I've managed to get Konq/embedded compiled for 1.1.0rc8.  make ipkg seemed to expect a different version of ipkg-build.sh than I have, so it's simply in a tar.gz file (plus two more for the QT3 and PCRE libraries -- the pcre that comes with pdaXrom didn't include libpcreposix so I had to roll my own).  It works great, even with my FMP7 server that firefox refuses to talk to!

You can get it from my little Z page.

(Now that I understand the Konq configuration process a bit better, I may try to whip up a QT2-based one,
simply because its make ipkg does seem to work.  If/when I do, it'll be on the same page.)

enjoy!

hmmm... konqueror puts the cached pages in directories directly under /...

i think it is missing its standard directory for cached pages...

does anyone know the path to this directory so i can create it by hand?

thanks,

Hi Titus,
On my Z, Konq puts cached pages in single-character subdirectories of /tmp, e.g.  /tmp/b/, /tmp/i/ and so on.
Not ideal, I know, but I wouldn't know how to change it (or how to predict what characters it'll use).

Also, I probably missed a -nodebug flag when I did ./configure, at least I assume that's why it spews so much debug info to the console.  Sorry about that; if it was less of a pain to compile I'd re-do it.
