Not running Plasma is not the problem you're having (or at least, it shouldn't be). KIO is one of the libraries (actually, it's a set of libraries) which Konqueror needs to work correctly, just like the Qt libraries. You can't even build Konqueror if you don't have KIO installed. Among many other things, KIO provides several of the pages in the Konqueror settings dialog, including the Proxy one. To display the Proxy page in the settings dialog, Konqueror needs the file kcm_proxy.so to be installed on your system; moreover the file needs to be in a directory which Konqueror knows about. To check whether the file exists, you can use find: find /usr -name kcm_proxy.so After doing that: - if the file doesn't exist, I think something is broken in your installation. I suggest to try reinstalling KIO using your package manager: after that, see whether the Proxy page appears in Konqueror; if not try again checking whether the file exists or not - if the file exists, most likely the problem is that Konqueror doesn't know that it's there: could you please post the path of the file, then try running Konqueror from a terminal emulator and post any output it prints on screen? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
