Description of problem: Krusader 1.90.0 in Fedora 9/KDE4 has function to run Konsole using default keybind F2. When you invoke Konsole, it opens always in ~ directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Krusader 1.90.0 KDE4.1.1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Navigate yourself in other directory e.g. ~/Documents 2.Press F2 to invoke konsole 3.pwd should give the directory where you navigate yourself within krusader Actual results: Konsole always in home directory Expected results: Konsole in directory you navigate yourself Additional info: This probably needs patching..
Found this matching report upstream. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154710 If you dont think this matches what you are describing please open a new upstream report and include that info in this report.
This would suggest that Konsole is to blame, not Krusader. In some way this makes sense. I wonder if the change was deliberate or if it's just a bug. Unfortunately, the Konsole maintainer did not reply to the upstream bug. :-( Krusader could certainly be patched to make it work though.
This is the patch which went into the KDE 4 version, it can probably be backported: http://krusader.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/krusader?view=rev&revision=6067
Here is the upstream "report": http://www.krusader.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2159 I installed rawhide version, and it also had this problem but I resolved it according the post: " try "konsole --workdir %d" for the terminal in Konfigurator in the General settings. Settings -> Configure Krusader -> General " So far I resolved this by using Krusader 2 beta from rawhide and it works for me!
But support for the %d escape is added by the above patch, it won't work without backporting that patch. But there should be a kconf_update script IN ADDITION to that patch to fix the setting automatically. (And upstream should be told that that's what kconf_update is for, saying "you have to manually change your settings" sucks. A kconf_update script can contain arbitrary Perl, it's perfectly possible to check that the setting starts with "konsole" and contains "--workdir ." before changing "--workdir ." to "--workdir %d".)
Works now..So I'm closing it.
No, it doesn't work in F9, it's fixed only in F10 (Krusader 2). And there's still no kconf_update script to upgrade existing configurations.
Do we plan on fixing this in F9. Seems to no longer be an issue in F10+ so either we fix it in F9 or just wait for F9 to EOL
It should be fixed in F9! In addition, if you upgrade to F10, you don't get the fix, you have to reset the setting manually. That's what kconf_update is for! The package is supposed to provide a kconf_update script (and that's something to complain about upstream as well).
PS: I can look into writing the kconf_update script and the backported patch for F9 if I have some time. But normally it should be upstream's and/or the maintainer's job. :-(
I will write kconf_update script (for F9+), but I'm unable to backport patch as I don't know Qt. So to fix this in F9 I can switch to Krusader 2, someone will backport upstream patch or leave it as it is?
I can do the backport, should be fairly easy.
Ping? F9 is approaching EOL. Has this been corrected if not might I suggest letting it die as F9 goes EOL. -- Steven M. Parrish - KDE Triage Master Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
