Disable opening URLs in Konqueror browser or blacklist it.

Rademes · 2016-11-30 13:00

Good Day!
Is it possible to disable opening URLs in Konqueror browser? I use KeePassX 2.0.2, and two days ago it suddenly started to open URLs in Konqueror instead of Chromium. Earlier It opened URLs correctly in Chromium. Same situation with KeeWeb and LibreOffice documents. I have already set Chromium as default browser in Control Center -> Default Applications, modified file associations, then set Firefox as default browser, but system willfully opens URLs only in Konqueror Browser! Is it any way to blacklist Konqueror browser, because for now It opens incorrectly 95% of websites, or refuses to open them?

Try to fix your KeePassX and KeyWeb applications following command in terminal:
$ kwriteconfig --file "$HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals" --group 'General' --key 'BrowserApplication' 'chromium.desktop'

As far as we know, it is not possible to blacklist konqueror some clean way.

That does not working. String in file was added, but even after reboot URLs are still being opened only in Konqueror. Strange, in Saturday they opened correctly in Chromium, and I have not changed system settings at all, only installed system updates.

Try to run KeePassX following four different commands below and report back the result:
$ KDE_FULL_SESSION="true" KDEHOME="$HOME/.kde" keepassx
$ KDE_FULL_SESSION="true" KDEHOME="$HOME/.trinity" keepassx
$ KDEHOME="$HOME/.kde" keepassx
$ KDEHOME="$HOME/.trinity" keepassx

Only $ KDE_FULL_SESSION="true" KDEHOME="$HOME/.trinity" keepassx allows to open URLs normally in Chromium and without errors.
KeeWeb also opens URLs in Chromium properly with this command.

Have noticed, that URLs in Skype are being opened correctly in Chromium only using this command:
$ KDE_FULL_SESSION="true" KDEHOME="$HOME/.trinity" skype
If to launch Skype without this command URLs are opened in Konqueror browser.

Fixed, the new Skype installer is available from Software Centre. Thanks for the reporting.

Again a Qt5 application opens URLs in Konqueror, because it thinks, that Konqueror is the default browser...

Which Qt5 application ? Would you specify some more details for us to be able to check it, please ?

It is Gryptonite - a simple but powerful password manager without all unnecessary stuff.
https://github.com/karagog/Gryptonite/r … tag/v3.1.1
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpasswordman/
(This program uses Qt version 5.4.2.)

I think, I have found the solution.
I have modified file ~/.trinity/env/q4loginscr01.sh (attachment), and after it all programs started to open hyperlinks in Chromium just as it should be.
Such idea come because I have noticed differences between /root/.trinity/env/q4loginscr01.sh and ~/.trinity/env/q4loginscr01.sh.
Modifying this file also solved my problem with small fonts in Qt5 applications.

Thank you for the information. We will investigate on that and will post a result a bit later.

@Rademes
We don't recommend to set 'KDEHOME="$HOME/.trinity"', as some of KDE4 applications, for example Gwenview, could write to $KDEHOME and mess TDE config files. The 'KDE_FULL_SESSION=true' statement could confuse applications the way they are in KDE4 environment instead of TDE.

That was a bug, it's fixed in the new Q4OS 1.8.2 release.

Well, at least I tried... Anyway, this bug should be fixed.

LibreOffice opens hyperlinks in that shitty Konqueror browser. Editing menu item does not working.

LibreOffice selects the default browser from 'alternatives'. You need to define the default browser for LibreOffice this way:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
