navigation through the kioslave system:/users/ is broken

i don't quite understand your bug report,

the expected behaviour (please correct me if i wrong)

is that you cannot access the other's user home directories.

if you can access you cannot write on them.

so if you try to create a file on another user's folder you should have an error message.

Please clarify a litle bit about your bug.

Thanks a lot

I think I figured out what he's talking about. Here's what I did (Edgy AMD64, everything up-to-date):

1. Open system:/home/<your username> in Konqueror

2. Right-click on a file (I used a small shell script; should work with anything) -> Compress -> Compress as blahblah.tar.gz

3. Wait for a while before deciding that it's not going to work and hit Cancel.

4. Open /home/<your username> in Konqueror, repeat step 2, everything works.

5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 (the file created in step 4 should still be there). Ark crashes with the following backtace:

Note that creating and deleting files and folders, as well as editing in Kate all works just fine for me. I think this is a problem with Ark, not the IO slave. Also, system:/home displays the contents of /home/<username> and system:/users displays the contents of /home, but opening system:/ and clicking on Home Folder takes you to /home/<username> directly.

I can confirm that the ark context menu doesn't work with the system:/ kio slave. This kio slave is not used in edgy, but removing those patches in Feisty is under consideration, so I'm keeping this open.

Other than the specific ark issue, this is a duplicate of bug 32159.

Attaching a backtrace from a crash produced by following Noah Medling's procedure on Feisty with latest updates.

I am closing this since the system:/ KIO slave no longer exists in KDE4 in Intrepid. Please reopen if you can reproduce this with another KIO slave in KDE4.
