I found out what the problem is: by default, in "preferences -> file types and programs -> internet services", the http protocol is set to "mozilla-1.6 %s" and the https protocol is set to "epiphany %s". On my computer, mozilla's binary is /usr/bin/mozilla, not /usr/bin/mozilla-1.6 and I don't have epiphany installed. I changed both protocols to "mozilla %s" , and now it works fine. I guess the solution is to have this keys automatically changed to something that is installed between mozilla, epiphany or konqueror. PS: it was tested on both a fresh account and an old account. what does $rpm -q mozilla say ? [julien@rfc1918 julien]$ rpm -q mozilla mozilla-1.6-2 I suspect this is fixed by newer versions of control-center, but not in the default schema. Try the following procedurE: 1) Upgrade to latest rawhide. 2) Run Preferences -> Preferred Applications. 3) Choose the browser that you wish to run when clicking on links. Restart Evolution and see if it behaves any better with both http and https links. Please report your results. I've tested it on both my current account (removing http and https protocols from "file types & programs") and on a newly created account and it works well. That said, on the newly created account, there was no browser defined in preferred applications. I think the preferred browser should be automatically set (only the first time) to the first browser found among a list containing Mozilla, Konqueror and Epiphany. This is after using latest rawhide control-center? The desktop team needs to make certain decisions about which browser will be default, but it will be a sane default so things like this work without any configuration needed. Yes, I'm using "Gnome control-center 2.6.0.3". I did a yum update just before testing it. This is a dupe of bug 119569. The problem is fixed as of gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-5 (which changes the default browser from epiphany - which is not installed - to Mozilla). Update gnome-vfs2 and create a new user account to test. OK, I've tested it on a new account, and it works perfectly. |
