Hi WenLong Feng, A Lotus Notes user opened the following bug which explains what should be updated: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/788673
Some further detailed instructions are here: http://jarrpa.net/2011/10/28/creating-custom-url-handlers-in- ubuntu-11-04-11-10-gnome-3-0/ Those articles say you should update the /usr/share/applications/LotusNotes8.5.desktop file (part of the ibm-lotus-notes package): 1. Add an entry: MimeType=x-scheme-handler/notes 2. Ensure Exec= line has a %u at the end However, the LotusNotes8.5.desktop already uses a variable at the end of the Exec line so a separate file just for url handling as the user suggests in the bug mentioned above. e.g. Create /usr/share/applications/LotusNotes8.5-url.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Lotus Notes 8.5 Type=Application Exec=/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/../notes %u Icon=/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/shared/eclipse/features/com.ibm.notes.links.feature_8.5.3.20110916-0921/icons/notes.ico Terminal=false MimeType=x-scheme-handler/notes Categories=Application;Office; NoDisplay=true This also uses "NoDisplay=true", this stops the desktop file displaying in the menus or dash as there is already the LotusNotes8.5.desktop one there for that. After run: # sudo update-desktop-database This bug is now marked invalid, as the change needs to take place within your .desktop files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980466 Title: URL handler does not work correctly in Firefox after registering in gconf Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: = Problem = Firefox is no associating with URL handlers set within gconf. These are typically used for 3rd party applications wishing to associate a particular URL type, e.g. "notes:///example" to load Lotus Notes and pass the word example to it. = Environment = * Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) * Firefox 11.0+build1-0ubuntu4 = Steps to reproduce = Reproducible 100% 1. Register a url handler in gconf (example using evince) # sudo gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/evince/command '/usr/bin/evince %s' --type String # sudo gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/evince/enabled --type Boolean true 2. Load Firefox 3. Try the new handler in Firefox URL bar by typing "evince:///testing". 4. See error pop-up: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address because the protocol (evince) isn't associated with any program" = Other info = Mozilla kbase article on setting up URL handlers: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol#Firefox_3.5_and_above To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/980466/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
