|
|
sometime since recent updates to plasma 5 / kde 5.6 konqueror
fails to load web pages with this error
Code: | Cannot Initiate the http Protocol
Technical Reason: Unable to Launch Process
Additional Information: Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_http'. |
kio_http.so exists but is, of course, a kdelibs-4.14 provision
konqueror has become a rubbish browser, I know, but I'd like it to work anyway ...
Anyone run across this and/or know why it's happening and/or a fix? _________________ .... there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth

replying to self:
my bad - a reboot fixed konqueror (and more it turned out)
must remember - linux nowadays needs reboots for desktop environment

A reboot is certainly not required, but bad things have always happened if you upgraded KDE within a running session and did not bother to re-login. |

I certainly did log out, restart xdm service and re-login
then I noticed the troubles; after *reboot* they were gone - maybe another logout/in
would have done the trick as well _________________ .... there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth

That *is* rather strange, indeed. |
