Konqueror 3.5.8 not loading some web pages

[henjenagin]

I think this topic may have been covered on one of the forums I was reading yesterday and the issue was not resolved for some reason or another. I like to listen to music from slacker.com playing in the background while I'm doing work on the computer. I can run firefox and navigate to the website, minimize, open konq and do the real work, like locating files, splitting windows, tabbed browsing the way I like...you name it. Konqueror is the be all I need it to be program and I would like it to play my favorite internet radio station like firefox or dare I say IE7!

I am running ubuntu gutsy 7.10 from ubuntu ultimate 1.6 x86 and used synapltic to install the KDE environment and the meta package for kubuntu-desktop.

Is anybody able to load this website using strictly kubuntu install, because I may have missed something trying to import konqueror on my own? If not, why? (rhetorical possibly on that last question)

Re: Konqueror 3.5.8 not loading some web pages

Hmm, it doesn't work in Konqueror for me either.
Could by some tricky JavaScript it uses, or some complicated Flash videos. Or a combination of the two.

I doubt you'll be able to get it working in Konqueror. It's probably something in the HTML/JS/whatever engine doing something differently from Firefox or IE, making the page not work.
You could try filing a bug report, but I don't know how productive that'd be...

Thanks for trying SheeEttin & juantovarm. I was thinking it was me cuz I'm still a noob. I contacted slacker support and received a quick response. They suggested Flash 9.0 and a link to the tar.gz / yum / other file install types and long story short, it didn't work. I "./installed_the_file" as myself into my home directory and then did a "sudo ./install" for a system wide effect. I know that flash is working for konq, I have been to sites that have required it and it wasn't installed yet, now it is and they work fine.

One of the cool things I got from the support guys at slacker was an output of the diagnostic log. Ignore the lines that start with "ip", I edited those for obvious reasons.

The lines that catch my eye I guess (I'm not a developer) are the ones that say WPM not found. Searching for WPM. I think I will assume that is some sort of "Web Media Player" plugin? I'll keep goin with this. Maybe get it figured out by the time KDE 4.0 comes out. I know...I'll try it on the debian beta 4 release on my vbox. Keep ya posted!

Probably Windows Media Player.

I bet this is the first problem:

Wed Nov 07 2007 20:12:28 GMT-0800 - [error] Event notification failed (OnDisplayStationGuide):Value undefined (result of expression this.blur) is not an object. Cannot be called.

I'd hazard a guess that this.blur is something to do visual effects, which the KHTML engine can't handle, which causes the whole thing to fail.

As I said, consider filing a bug report.
