Package: exo-utils Version: 0.6.2-3 Severity: normal Currently I have the following preferred applications configured (using exo-preferred-applications) :
Web Browser: Debian Sensible Browser Mail Reader: Icedove File Manager: Thunar Terminal Emulator: Xfce Terminal When I manually run exo-open with a URL that starts with 'http://"; it works as expected and opens the Debian Sensible Browser (Iceweasel in my case.) However, attempts to execute exo-open with a URL that starts with 'file:///', fails with the following error dialog: ===================== Failed to open URI "file:///path/to/file.ext". Failed to execute child process "epiphany- browser" (No such file or directory). ====================== The "No such file or directory" part of the error message is correct as I do not have epiphany installed on my system. Executing sensible-browser instead of exo-open works correctly with either http:// or file:/// urls. I would expect exo-open to start the configured web browser (or possibly the file manager in the case of file:/// urls.) It should definitely never try to launch a browser which is not installed. As a workaround, I've discovered that if I create a symbolic link /usr/local/bin/epiphany-browser which points to /usr/bin/sensible-browser, exo- open works as expected for file:/// urls (at least as I expect it since I want file:/// URLS to appear in a browser.) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages exo-utils depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.2.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libexo-1-0 0.6.2-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.8-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.7-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 ii libxfce4util4 4.8.2-1 exo-utils recommends no packages. exo-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
