Package: arduino
Version: 1:1.0.4+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Dear arduino maintainer,
"help/reference" in the arduino GUI is expected to open a browser
with the pertinent file. Instead of doing so, it displays a popup
with the messages
Failed to open URI "file:///usr/share/arduino/reference/index.html".
Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox"
(No such file or directory).
How did I get there?
* Install recent arduino software
* Move previous $HOME/.arduino out of the way
* start arduino GUI software. For the purpose
of this bug report, to get the message in English,
I did "LANG=C arduino" .
* In the GUI, trigger "Help/Reference".
With previous versions of arduino, I had tried
to add, in $HOME/.arduino/preferences.txt,
browser.linux=/usr/bin/iceweasel
but that had not worked.
As a (bloody) workaround, I did
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/iceweasel /usr/lib/firefox
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox
This solved the problem for me.
Regards, and thank you for providing fine sofware,
Andreas
