Last modified: 2007-11-05 17:08:47 UTC
---- Reported by sebastian.noack@gmail.com 2005-10-13 06:46:33 MST ---- Description of Problem: I can't use the Web-Links in the menu "Help -> Web". Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Click on "Help" in the menu line at the top of the window. 2. Select "Web". 3. Click on any item or any item in the available submenus. Actual Results: I get following error message for e.g. if I select "Mono Project": "Could not open the url http://www.mono-project.com" Expected Results: My preffered browser starts and go to the URL "http://www.mono-project.com". If it is already started, it will be show "http://www.mono-project.com" in a new tab. Additional Information: I don't use a desktop-envoirment like gnome or kde, wich have configuration-files for the mime-types. Maybe that ist the reason for that problem. ---- Additional Comments From uidzer0@uidzer0.org 2005-10-18 23:24:46 MST ---- I was able to produce the same results on a fresh install of gentoo linux. The problem was that a default url handler was not set in gnome. I set one (Desktop->preferences->peferred applications: web browser; firefox) and this fixed the problem. It was currently set to epiphany which i did not have installed, are you under the same circumstances? ---- Additional Comments From sebastian.noack@gmail.com 2005-10-19 18:09:57 MST ---- It is not percisly the same issue, but very similar. The problem here is ,that I don't have such a shit like a Desktop-Envoirment installed and I don't to intend to do it. In other applications I've the option to choose "Default-Gnome", "Mozilla", "Firefox", etc. as browser, in the settings. Unknown bug field "cf_op_sys_details" encountered while moving bug <cf_op_sys_details>Gentoo Linux - Kernel 2.6.12.4</cf_op_sys_details> Unknown operating system unknown. Setting to default OS "Other".
