Re: [kde] How can I bring back Konqueror as my man page viewer?
See, that's a different problem. To see how exactly it works, you to refer man's man page; cause I don't know how exactly man works. It happens that man can have different man pages with similar names. However if you try and open a man page pointing to it's exact path, e.g /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.bz2, kio wont remove the .bz2 extension. So this sounds like a new bug.

That doesn't work; instead of displaying the man page, it downloads the *.bz2 from the local file system :-/ How can I set Konqueror to be the program that handles KDE's man: command? AFAIK, there's not direct way to do it, for reasons I explain, but it should be possible using the wrapper script method I demonstrate below. This kde functionality is one of a number of kioslaves, kde i/o-slaves, that allow kde apps (mostly file and web browsers) to present various types of information virtually, not in its native format, but in a virtual format made to appear as if it were part of the filesystem, or in this case, present a different type of file as if it were a web page. Try this to see the various kioslaves and see what they can do. This will work best in dolphin, but will /sort/ /of/ work, to some degree or other depending on how well the particular app can handle the chosen type of data, in any kde app that lets you open a file dialog. 1) In the path line, switch to edit mode if necessary. (kde4's file path lines have two modes, the traditional type-it-in aka edit aka edit-path mode, and the newer breakcrumbs aka navigate mode. You can switch between them by clicking the end of the address line or by context/right clicking outside the textbox if in edit mode and selecting edit or navigate from the resulting menu. In konqueror you'll need to open a file-open dialog, as its address bar is designed for internet address use.) 2) Once in edit-path mode, erase any existing path, including the /. 3) Immediately to the left of the textbox, you should now see file, with a down-arrow indicating a dropdown menu. Click it. 4) The resulting menu will have a bunch of entries in addition to file, depending on how many of the available kioslaves you or your distro has chosen to install. Note especially the other at the bottom, with a submenu where you should find the man listing. 5) Have fun browsing around. In addition to dolphin and konqueror, you can try this in kwrite (from the file-open dialog). Try it with the programs type, for instance. As another example, if you have a cdrom, from dolphin/konqueror, the audiocd type allows you to browse virtual directories on the cd containing ogg/flac/mp3 virtual files (if your distro ships the necessary libs, some don't ship mp3 especially, due to patent concerns, etc), which you can copy elsewhere to have kde directly convert/encode to the corresponding filetype on-the-fly as it's copying. (The settings for audiocd's encode quality, default cd device, etc, are in kde settings under hardware, audio and video, audio cds.) 6) If you try browsing the man type/kioslave, you'll get a virtual directory containing all manpages, but here presented as virtual HTML documents, plus virtual subdirs for each type, a User Commands virtual dir for man section 1, File Formats for man (5), etc. If you enter a subdir, you get just the manpages-as-html-files corresponding to that section. This is where you can see the man kioslave actually doing its thing. If you open any of the virtual files with kwrite, you'll see the html source code that the kioslave generated. Which is where the problem comes in. If you look at the filetype for any of these man kioslave virtual files, you'll see them listed as HTML Document. Of course you COULD switch the open-with association back to konqueror as top priority, but that would switch it for ALL files of type HTML Document... FWIW, here, I have firefox set as my preferred browser, so they all open in firefox. Firefox actually does a good job at displaying most of them, but I did see that apparently due to some internal firefox setting, any *.conf manpage (like xorg.conf, for instance), gets displayed as plain- text, even tho kde's giving firefox the same sort of tempfile using the file:// protocol as it does with the other manpages, so it /must/ be a setting specific to *.conf files in firefox itself, that's forcing the plain-text display. So what the kde man kioslave is doing is generating the html code on the fly, then passing it to whatever browser as a tempfile. The only way you're going to change what browser gets the file, at least directly, is to change kde's top-ranked open-with for HTML Documents... which will unfortunately change it for all such documents. And I really do NOT recommend konqueror as default browser, given kde's clear treatment of it as a toy, not for ordinary users to use as their normal browser, including with secure websites, etc. (See the lack of security certificate management for YEARS after declaring
