Harshad: You might try the "work-around" suggested by Antoine. But that is just a work-around. not a fix. Add an entry to gconf-editor like any other. ( google). The actual bug seems to be with gnome-open which is unable to handle ftp urls. $ gnome-open http://www.google.com 02:44 PM:senthil@:~/python/trunk/Lib $ gnome-open ftp://ftp.freebsd.org Error showing url: The specified location is not mounted Google for (gnome-open + bug + ftp) you will be given the list of bugs. In my case, I think the user-installed firefox has taken the control of the ftp mimetype and in your case, gnome-open is the default and it is failing with ftp. As per suggestion just work-around it with ftp handlers and it should do. May check with ubuntuforums for suggestions too. There is a no problem with the webbrowser.py and I am closing this bug as Invalid. ---------- resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7024> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
