You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: konqueror-kde4

The shortcut in the sidebar opens an error message. ('Pers?nlicher Ordner' means home directory in German).
See attached screenshot. Happened after clicking on 'Pers?nlicher Ordner' (with the blue background).
Should open the home dir.

I'm guessing this is an upgrade from Hardy?

Hello.

Please attach the following file to this bug report
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng/webbrowsing/entries

As Jonathan suggested this probably is an incompability between KDE 3
and KDE 4, I am not sure what we can do about it. But maybe that file
brings some light into the darkness.

Thank you.

Hi.
Meanwhile I discarded my old system and did a clean install of kubuntu 8.10, because of many many minor annoyances. In this process I also removed my .kde directory to clean the configuration. This solved the problem for me.
The file you refer to is a directory. I attached a tarball of it.
However, as this is resolved for me I wouldn't mind if you closed this bug to focus your efforts on other bugs.
Thanks anyway.
Felix

Thank you Felix.

It appears that the sidebar creates a user copy of it's desktop files, which has the disadvantage that it doesn't know about the changed URL in KDE 4.
While in KDE 3 the URL file:$HOME worked perfectly fine, in KDE 4 it is necessary to use ~ as URL. Ultimately the sidebar would have some way to correct the old URL, so this really should be reported to KDE as well. Another solution would be to make the the file:// protocol support the old $HOME and just redirect it to the proper destination.

Felix, if you have time, it would be very nice if you could file an
accompanying in the KDE bug tracker at http://bugs.kde.org (I suppose
konqsidebar has an own product entry, otherwise it would probably be
part of konqueror) and post its URL here. Otherwise someone from the
team will forward the report ... at some point ... hopefully ;-)

Have a nice day.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. But don't worry! This issue is being tracked by the KDE developers at: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171773
Once fixed in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the fix is in in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!

This has been reported before, as Bug #152660 and Bug #153229, but still
remains!

Using Kubuntu 4.1.1 and the Home sidebar entry still goes to $HOME and
can't find it.

In those other bugs it seems the problem goes away somehow. I can't
reproduce in Kubuntu 4.1.1. But since it surfaces every now and then, it
must be some specific setting somewhere.

I've checked some config files, and the one that could mean problems in
that area is this file ( I think, I'm not an expert ):

- .kde4/share/apps/konqsidebartng/webbrowsing/entries/home.desktop
the first 3 lines say where the home folder goes, could you tell me your values for those lines?

Also, you could backup your konqueror related files in .kde4/share/apps
and .kde4/share/config, remove them and see if the problem goes away.

As a workaround I used to delete the old
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng folders when upgrading machines to
KDE4. Konqueror recreates this directory when next run and I believe it
just holds sidebar settings as per its name - not, for example,
bookmarks. As well as clearing out the old URLs it also clears out the
defunct icon names.
