This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. |
Description of problem: xdg-email cannot send attachments via thunderbird (at least). Found while trying to send email of scan from “simple scan” which calls xdg-email to do the deed, and creates a blank email. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.10.20111207.fc16 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. xdg-email --attach ~/.bashrc Actual results: Console reports "which: no in (list-of-paths)" Thunderbird compose window opens with no attachment. Expected results: Thunderbird compose window opens *with* attachment. Additional info: Seems to be an upstream bug, although upstream looks stagnant. The error is in the “open_gnome3” function were a reference to $browser should, I believe, be $desktop (line 611 of my copy): open_gnome3() { local client local desktop desktop=`xdg-mime query default "x-scheme-handler/mailto"` client=`desktop_file_to_binary "$desktop"` ## << here echo $client | grep thunderbird > /dev/null 2>&1 ... The above change make things work a treat. I.e., thunderbird is called with its dedicated mangled arguments instead of deferring to gvfs-open or gnome-open which seemingly aren't capable of fully calling thunderbird.
