Bug ID: 433300
Summary: kio-fuse makes man: and info: unusable in Firefox
Product: kiofuse
Version: 5.0.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: a.saout...@gmail.com
Reporter: tomastr...@gmx.com
CC: fab...@ritter-vogt.de, kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Recently, kio-fuse got installed on my system by an OS update (Fedora 33).
Since then, opening man: (and also info:) URLs no longer works with my default
browser set to Firefox (I assume the same might apply to any non-KIO browser).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set your default browser (or association for text/html) to Firefox
2. Bring up KRunner using Alt+F2 and enter "man:bash" OR run "xdg-open
man:bash" in a terminal OR run "kioclient exec man:bash" in a terminal
3. Observe Firefox opening a completely blank page
OBSERVED RESULT
Firefox navigates to file:///run/user/500/kio-fuse-EzPluU/man/bash, which is a
nonexistent file. There is just one file in /run/user/500/kio-fuse-EzPluU/
called "man" (it's not a directory). This file contains the top-level index of
manual sections, with links to URLs like "man:(1)". Attempting to open one of
these links fails just like the "bash" example.
EXPECTED RESULT
A HTML rendering of the requested manual page opens in Firefox, with working
hyperlinks to other manual pages (man: urls; this requires associating man: in
Firefox with /usr/bin/xdg-open). Disabling kio-fuse (systemctl --user mask
kio-fuse.service) makes this work like before: The man kioslave produces a
temporary HTML file in ~/.cache/kioexec/krun/8312_0/bash, which is then opened
by the browser.
