Bug#432567: freezes when a link is opened in a www browser

Normally the call of the browser should be forked from the parent process, so rng shouldn't freeze. Looks like the call is not forked in your case. I'm using Gnome at the moment. It happen's with any application that opens a link from rng: Opera, Epiphany, Iceweasel, Konqueror, links2, w3m, mutt, you name it (www browsers called directly as well as through sensible-browser). I had a similar problem with previous lastfm package. There when I opened a link and skipped a song or it has finished, I couldn't get the next one. Looked like the subprocess was blocking the application. Maybe it has something to do with qt? Actually it should not. When clicking a link in rng, rng just calls 'xdg-open someurl'. This program usually returns as soon as the browser shows the URL. In your case it seems to wait until the browser is closed again. Unfortunately I can't reproduce your bug under gnome either, so I need some more infos Could you please start xdg-open http://debian.org in a console and check if xdg-open returns when the browser opened?

Yes, it's OK. So it does return to the prompt before you closed the browser? Very confusing, I wonder why rng hangs then.

Package: reportbug-ng Version: 0.2007.07.08 Severity: normal Hi, I'm actually reporting two bugs but they're somewhat related: 1. rng freezes when a www browser opens a link and stays like that untill one closes the browser. 2. rng doesn't handle links very well, the ones with special characters e.g. ;simply don't open properly when clicked. P.S. You can split it if the bugs won't be fixed in the same revision.
