Hi Y'all,

I opened Konqueror as superuserthe other day with the
intention of moving some files from my user directory to my
windows drive to which the user does not have write
permission. When I navigated to my /home/user directory, the
window displayed a web page - the UK Mirror Service Homepage
even though most of the links displayed on it didn't work. I'm
sure this isn't supposed to happen.

Anyone ever seen anything like this ?

I'm using mdk 9.0


OK, "no".

Did you by any chance save that page in your home directory?


Todd


Yup. After reloading the page, the location bar showed
/home/graham/index.html. I had saved the page with this name
although I don't remember when or why. From the regular user
Konqueror, I deleted it.
Then when I refreshed the page as super user, it displayed the
contents of my home directory like it was supposed to.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.


Here's why it did it:

In Konqueror:
View => Use index.html

You'll notice that it is checked.  Uncheck it and you won't have
the problem.



I never noticed that one. It could be really useful, I guess. Your own html index page with your most used links on and off the 'net. Cool!

Anne


I agree... but only if you have the ability to turn it off.


I have to navigate through directories of web sites I'm working on and can't because every time I get to the root directory of the site I have to disable that thing or it gives me the web page.
