I have a different symptom but I suspect it is the same problem. Two new installs of 9.1 ubuntu and one new install of Dotsch_UX (8.1 ubuntu) do NOT launch any browser when clicking on a boincmgr project url. echo $BROWSER shows firefox at /usr/bin, preferred-browser also brings up firefox and firefox is listed as the preferred browser under system- preferences. It just does not launch. However, if I install Epiphany and set Epiphany to the default browser then boincmgr correclty launches Ephipany. Bringing up the terminal again the command echo $BROWSER still shows firefox.and sensible-browser still launches firefox.
my 2c says something is broken -- BOINC patch 003 launches the wrong browser https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
