[Bug 239952] Re: firefox - the associated helper application does not exist

2008-09-08 Thread TJ 
This is a problem caused by the interaction of xulrunner and Gnome VFS.
Using the test files in Savvas' thread in the forums
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5369513) a *successful*
handling of the PDF file looks like this:

nsMIMEInfoUnix::GetHasDefaultHandler()
Using vfs
return NS_OK

nsMIMEInfoUnix::GetHasDefaultHandler()
Using vfs
return NS_OK

nsMIMEInfoBase::LaunchWithFile()
mPreferredAction=4
mPreferredAction==useSystemDefault
calling LaunchDefaultWithFile()

nsMIMEInfoUnix::LaunchDefaultWithFile()
nativePath=/tmp/test5-5.pdf
Using vfs
vfs-GetAppForMimeType()=1
app-Launch()

Whereas trying either of the text files (with or without spaces in
names) gives this:

nsMIMEInfoUnix::GetHasDefaultHandler()
Using vfs
fallback to nsMIMEInfoImpl::GetHasDefaultHandler()

nsMIMEInfoBase::LaunchWithFile()
mPreferredAction=4
mPreferredAction==useSystemDefault
calling LaunchDefaultWithFile()

nsMIMEInfoUnix::LaunchDefaultWithFile()
nativePath=/tmp/test4 with space-4.txt
Using vfs
vfs-GetAppForMimeType()=1
mDefaultApplication=0
!mDefaultApplication NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

... and...

nsMIMEInfoUnix::GetHasDefaultHandler()
Using vfs
fallback to nsMIMEInfoImpl::GetHasDefaultHandler()

nsMIMEInfoBase::LaunchWithFile()
mPreferredAction=4
mPreferredAction==useSystemDefault
calling LaunchDefaultWithFile()

nsMIMEInfoUnix::LaunchDefaultWithFile()
nativePath=/tmp/test3nospace-1.txt
Using vfs
vfs-GetAppForMimeType()=1
mDefaultApplication=0
!mDefaultApplication NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

[Bug 239952] Re: firefox - the associated helper application does not exist

2008-07-12 Thread Savvas Radević 
Added epiphany browser: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=857107#3
Confirmed. Epiphany 2.22.2 - Hardy.

Happening on i386 too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=857107#4
The problem exists on my PC as well, running Ubuntu 8.04, Intel, 32-bits.

** Description changed:

  Clicking some links in firefox-3.0 to download files displays the
  open/save dialog correctly, but if 'open' is selected with the default
  application, it fails with an error. Saving works as intended.
  
  The resulting error is:
  Download Error
  /tmp/(filename) could not be opened, because the associated helper 
application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

all launchpad package pages)
  
  WORKAROUND:
  Save the file first, rather than using the firefox 'open' option.
