Description

The fix is to start konqueror go to setting/performance uncheck "Always try to have one preloaded instance" press OK and konqueror will correctly close and can be restarted. CC:

dennisgrif Indeed, Konqueror cannot normally be re-started. This is an old known upstream problem, but I cannot find the previous bug of which this is essentially a duplicate, so closing it fixed. Konqueror has been somewhat sidelined upstream for a long time since Dolphin for file manager, and the new Falkon browser replacement which you can install. Thank you Dennis for the 'fix', which works. CC:

So the next person to stumble upon that issue will open another bug about this - not even an Errata entry, simply closing it ? CC:

That's very strange. I've been using Konqueror for many years now, not as a browser, since there are better about. But, as a file manager, I've not met a better, anywhere, at any time. In all that time I have never come across this problem. So, where is the "old known upstream problem"?
I agree that Konqueror has "been sidelined" for some time, largely, it seems, by removing useful attributes, like the sidebar. I've used Dolphin, and find it not a patch on Konqueror, in it's installed state. To my mind, it's the old, old system of continually "improving" something that works, until it no longer does.

I stand corrected. Ah, I found the earlier bug, my own! Still open, so changing the status of this one to Duplicate: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23969 Note that I raised this testing Mageia 7, so perhaps it is not so old as I thought. Although I did confirm it for Mageia 6 as well.

I've been using Konqueror for many years now See comments 9-11 in the other bug. > as a file manager, I've not met a better, anywhere, at any time. Agree. The last to show real file sizes. The actual remedy is more precisely defined in: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23969#c14 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 23969 *** Resolution:
