gnome-libs is deprecated so not eligible for new features; the new thing is gnome-vfs-open or something. Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Re. comment #2: Still an issue for FC3: gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-44 Re. comment #1: There is no mention in the --help documentation for gnome-moz-remote that it is deprecated in any way. There is no man page for this command nor does /usr/share/doc/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90/README mention it. I did find a command "gnome-open" (libgnome) which honors my selection of Web Browser in Preferred Applications prefs, which I currently have set to a custom wrapper script reading roughly #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/firefox -remote "openURL($1,new-tab)" for lack of anything more convenient that I can find. The Web Browser prefs only has a built-in option "Firefox" which runs "firefox %s" which does not suffice - it uses the currently focussed window/tab. You need to use -remote to request a new tab. (I do have Firefox prefs under Tabbed Browsing set to "Open links from other applications in... a new tab in the most recent window" but this is apparently not enough - it uses an existing tab if you just run "firefox FILE".) Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! I believe a --newtab option is still needed. I am running FC5 with all updates (so, gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-49). gnome-moz-remote --help is not working at the moment so it is hard to check: ------------- $ gnome-moz-remote --help Usage: gnome-moz-remote [OPTION...] GNOME options --disable-sound Disable sound server usage --enable-sound Enable sound server usage *** buffer overflow detected ***: gnome-moz-remote terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6(__chk_fail+0x41)[0xcd02b1] /lib/libc.so.6(__vsprintf_chk+0x0)[0xccfb48] /lib/libc.so.6(_IO_default_xsputn+0x9c)[0xc54817] /lib/libc.so.6(_IO_vfprintf+0x93c)[0xc2e955] /lib/libc.so.6(__vsprintf_chk+0xa1)[0xccfbe9] /lib/libc.so.6(__sprintf_chk+0x30)[0xccfb3c] /usr/lib/libgnomesupport.so.0[0xde29ec] /usr/lib/libgnomesupport.so.0[0xde2b0c] /usr/lib/libgnomesupport.so.0[0xde2d02] /usr/lib/libgnomesupport.so.0(poptGetNextOpt+0x19b)[0xde1bfb] /usr/lib/libgnome.so.32(gnomelib_parse_args+0x6b)[0x2698ab] gnome-moz-remote[0x804a27a] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc)[0xc09724] gnome-moz-remote[0x8048f51] ======= Memory map: ======== [snip] --espeaker=HOSTNAME:PORT Aborted ------------- BTW: in libgnome/ChangeLog I see ------- 2001-08-04 Martin Baulig <baulig> * libgnome/gnome-moz-remote.c, gnome-moz-remote2.c: Removed. * libgnome/vroot.h: Removed. * libgnome/gnome-remote.[ch]: Removed. ------- which is odd since gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-49.src.rpm still includes it libgnome/gnome-moz-remote.c. Anyway, that source file indeed shows --newwin as an option, but nothing about tabs. A note: the Tab Mix Plus extension for Firefox obviates the need for this option since you can select "New tab" for the option "Open links from other applications in:" under the "Links" section of T.M.P. options. Okay, thanks. gnome-libs and gnome 1.x is now removed from FC6. Closing. |
