Hi there everyone,
I am having some difficulty opening links in Kmail. It seems that
when I've first logged on, it'll open one or two, and then it doesn't
want to anymore. A small window pops up with a loading - progress
window, but at that point, no browser window opens.
I did a ps -aux and found that I had about 6 konqueror-sessions
running, so I killed them, and when I click on a link, it says along
the status bar of Kmail that it's opening URL, but again, nothing
happens, and there is now no processes running for Konqueror. I even
tried exiting Kmail and restarting it but of course that didn't work.
Usually the browser of choice has automatically defaulted to
Konqueror. I went into the Kmail settings and could not find
anything on choosing a default browser. I can't figure out either
why the sessions get stuck in the first place. (I run Kmail 1.3.1
using KDE 2.2.1 in Mandrake 8.1).
I wondered if anyone might know the solution to making Konqueror, or
even Mozilla open when a link from email is clicked on, or what might
be preventing the browser from opening. I'm hoping this isn't one of
those right-under-your-nose ones, but what the heck, HELP! hehehe
Thanks!
