Description of problem: After applying the updates for RH8 specified in errata RHSA-2003:002, klipper fails to expand %s to the clipboard contents. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.0.5a-4 How reproducible: 100%, this did not occur prior to the update of kdebase that occured with RHSA-2003:002 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a klipper action that looks like '^http[s]?:\/\/' which calls 'mozilla "%s"' 2. Highlight a URL and choose "Open with Mozilla" 3. mozilla will attempt to open the literal '%s' as a URL. Actual results: The literal '%s' is opened as the URL in mozilla Expected results: klipper should substitute the url for %s and mozilla should open that. Additional info: Prior to the update of kdebase this action worked without problems. Note this fails in the same way with other actions that open other apps. It is not limited to mozilla. I've marked this as severity high since it serious impacts the usefulness of KDE
hmm i think this bug was in RHL 8.0 too. It's not fixed in this errata. I have fixed it in kde-3.1.2, which will be available in rawhide soon. To fix this problem you have to change the lines in /usr/share/config/klipperrc Commandline=ps x |grep -q '[m]ozilla' && mozilla -remote "openURL(%s, new-window)" || mozilla %s to Commandline=ps x |grep -q '[m]ozilla' && mozilla -remote "openURL(`echo %s`, new-window)" || mozilla %s and Commandline=mozilla -remote "openURL(%s, new-window)" to Commandline=mozilla -remote "openURL(`echo %s`, new-window)"
This problem also affects the security update for Red Hat 7.2 (kdebase-2.2.2-7). Will an updated package for KDE 2.2 be made available as well?
