Konqueror crashing

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES SAP Applications

Since I need a browser, I try to get konqueror running on system (SLES 11.4) where I got no root access and no browser installed so far. Missing Shared Objects I fed to the system using LD_LIBRARY_PATH. So far so good, but when I start konqueror I get a popup telling me:

Could not delete file file://USER-HOME/.kde4/share/apps/konqueror/autosave/owned_by

The Console states:

Any ideas how to get konqueror running?

Hi BBrown,

welcome to the forums.

From the console output, it seems that konqueror requires a few more bits from a running KDE environment than is available (“k” in konqueror is because it’s a KDE-related tool). So maybe a more stand-alone version of a browser might be easier to get running… firefox comes to mind.

Yes, firefox was my first choice as well. But standalone wasn’t true in may case. Firefox needed nearly as many shared objects as konqueror, which I added using LD_LIBRARY_Path. Even more critical in libpango (one of the needed shared objects) there is a hardcoded reference to /etc/pango/x86_64/pango.modules, which isn’t there and I can’t provide.
Newer versions of libpango won’t use that reference, but also require a newer version of gcc.

Hi,

with “stand-alone” I was more referencing other system services, rather than library dependencies.

I understand you have no root access on the server - maybe you can avoid running the browser on that system (but instead on your working system) or ask the admin to install one for you? Depending on what you#re trying to do with the browser, maybe there are alternative approaches to solve the problem?
