I installed the latest version of kde 2.1 for mandrake yesterday. I have found everything is fine except konqueror. I can start konsole, the kfmclient file browser portion of konqueror, kmail, etc, without any problem but the moment I try to start konqueror web browser, that's all she wrote. It totally wrecks kde and even X. There is no error message and the konqueror window doesn't even try to appear but as soon as I try to start it, I lose the ability to do anything more. No matter what app I try to start, be it a kde app or gnome/gtk app, it will not start. I cannot even logout of kde because that doesn't work either. If I have any apps open, they become unresponsive. After about 10 seconds of waiting, X crashes and the only message I find associated with the problem is this: Fatal server error: could not open default font ' fixed' I cannot do a Ctrl-Bkspc and restart X. The only thing I can do to get back the X server and KDE is to reboot. This is repeatable. If I run "konqueror" from a konsole it starts up fine and from there I can browse the web. If I run "kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing" then all the problems mentioned above occur and I get this message in the konsole: QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = konsole path = <unknown> QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font [patrick@localhost patrick]$ kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = kfmclient path = <unknown> QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font If I subsequently try to run any other app from the open konsole (I cannot open ANY new apps be they KDE, gtk-based, or whatever), for instance if I try to open a new konsole with "konsole", I get: QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = konsole path = <unknown> QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font No other app but konqueror has this effect as far as I can find. Once it occurs, it is fixable only by rebooting. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain ---- Praedor
