gconftool-2 -s --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command "/usr/bin/firefox \"%s\"" gconftool-2 -s --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command "/usr/bin/firefox \"%s\"" should be added again to the startscript I disagree with the proposed solution, I don't see why a KDE startup script should override what is basically GNOME preferences. This is either a GNOME packaging problem or incorrect GNOME defaults. GNOME maintainers? Well, from the GNOME point of view, this is really just bug 531836. So either you want to workaround it for now in KDE, or you can close it as a dup of bug 531836. *** Bug 553597 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have put back the workaround for 11.2. For the next release, this is bug #531836. Submitted to kdebase4-openSUSE repo and KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop. Thank you, Lubos. :) *** Bug 555276 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 555723 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Just a question: With a brand new installation of OpenSuse 11.2 - what do I need to do to fix the issue? I added gconftool-2 -s --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command "/usr/bin/firefox \"%s\"" gconftool-2 -s --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command "/usr/bin/firefox \"%s\"" to an autostartscript which works - but this is only a workaround... Thanks, Dennis I am a lambda user and i don't know where write this script.... Please, is it possible to have more details ? Thank you. Pierre. I think all you should need to do is download gconf2-branding-openSUSE in YAST software downloads and Firefox will open from Thunderbird as it should. The hell is that this is a relatively massive download as it installs lots of other things like mono and Tomcat that you don't need to solve this bug so the script solution is more elegant, but for techies. The posters assume that everyone and their dog would know that gconf2-branding-openSUSE is in effect the Gnome configuration package for openSUSE and that Thunderbird likes to read the Gnome configuration files in gconf, which is not set properly in KDE version for default browser. installing gconf2-branding-openSUSE does work, but it means installing more than 90Mo of otherwise useless stuff (useless for me) where 3 lines in the thunderbird configuration files were enough for previous versions. That's absolutely crazy ! there should be a more rational corrective. When is the fix coming, since it is ready? :-) Thanks, A. (In reply to comment #6) > Submitted to kdebase4-openSUSE repo and KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop. I guess this bug can be closed. Worked around for 11.2, for next release this is bug #531836. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 531836 *** |
