Bug 588645

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

This is again actual.

abrt uses gtk_show_uri() which according to it's manual pages: "is a convenience function for launching the default application to show the uri." So either gtk or xfce uses different definition of default. -> reassigning to gtk.

I see this also, on F19 using the MATE desktop.  Per the original reporter, every other application seems to have no problem opening my preferred browser when I click on a link.  It's only the ABRT GUI that wants to open firefox.

given that every other application does not have this issue, I don't see why this was assigned to GTK+. Useful diagnostic information would include:

1) the url that abrt is trying to open

2) output of gvfs-info on that url

3) output of gvfs-mime --query text/html   (assuming the url does not get classified as something else in 2)

$ gvfs-info http://bugzilla.redhat.com/
display name: /
edit name: /
type: regular
size:  4980
attributes:
  standard::type: 1
  standard::display-name: /

  standard::symbolic-icon: text-html-symbolic, gnome-mime-text-html-symbolic, text-x-generic-symbolic
  id::filesystem: http:uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbugzilla.redhat.com%2F

$ gvfs-mime --query text/html
Default application for 'text/html': firefox.desktop
Registered applications:
	firefox.desktop
	google-chrome.desktop
	geany.desktop
	gvim.desktop
	gedit.desktop
	userapp-send_email-VVNJPU.desktop
	libreoffice-writer.desktop
	pluma.desktop
Recommended applications:
	firefox.desktop
	google-chrome.desktop
	geany.desktop

I think the difference between this app and most others on the GNOME desktop that open the user's preferred browser is that those other apps are probably using the "GNOME" registered preferred browser which might not be the same as this "GTK" preferred browser.  It does seem from the list above that firefox is being preferred over google-chrome.

So how does one adjust this preference/order within gvfs?

There's no such thing as a "GNOME preferred browser", and neither a GTK+ one.

We're using the mechanisms provided by the shared-mime-info system.

The 'factory default' handler for text/html is defined in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

User-specific overrides are stored in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

> There's no such thing as a "GNOME preferred browser", and neither a GTK+ one.

Hrm.  Perhaps I need to s/GNOME/MATE/.

There is most definitely a "Preferred Applications" tool in MATE (which as you know is just a rebranding/continued development of GNOME2) in which I select which browser I want "MATE" applications to use.  This tool of course also used to at least be in GNOME at one time.  I have not used GNOME in a long time (since the abomination of GNOME3 at least) so I can't attest to what's in it any more in regards to "preferred applications" selection.

> The 'factory default' handler for text/html is defined in
> /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

$ grep text/html /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
text/html=firefox.desktop
 
> User-specific overrides are stored in
> ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

$ grep text/html ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
text/html=chromium-browser.desktop;epiphany.desktop;
text/html=open-url.desktop

Where open-url.desktop is my own:

$ cat /home/brian/.config/mate/panel2.d/default/launchers/open-url.desktop
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]

Icon[en_US]=/usr/share/icons/mate/256x256/apps/web-browser.png

and ~/bin/open-url is essentially "exec google-chrome".

All of that aside, given that firefox doesn't even exist for text/html in my override file, why is firefox being used at all to open a URL?

So given that I want "open-url.desktop" to be what I want abrt to use, where/how should it appear in my ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list?  Is it ok to have it on a separate line for text/html?  Or should I merge those lines and put open-url.desktop first?

There's several sections in mimeapps.list, with different meanings.
Please show the entire file

Oh, yes.  Sorry.  I did not notice that at first.

Any update to my most recent posting here?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.

Can we have this updated to Version: 19 please since this is happening there also.

It would be nice also if Matthias Clasen would comment on the information I provided at his request.

This is still a problem on F21.  Can we please have the Version: updated?  Thanks.

And it would be nice if Matthias Clasen would comment on the information I provided at his request.  It's really quite rude asking somebody to spend time to gather information if you are just going to ignore it.

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

I asked for this bug to have it's version updated to F21 more than a month ago and that seems to have been ignored and the bug closed EOL instead.  I will go reopen a new one thanks.
