[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1511154] Re: xdg-settings set fails with status 2 because of a small glitch
Need backport to 15.10 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1511154 Title: xdg-settings set fails with status 2 because of a small glitch Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The first user-facing symptom: Google Chrome stable is correctly set as the default browser in System Settings / Details / Default Applications as well as in update-alternatives --display x-www-browser yet it keeps complaining about not being a default browser. Clicking "Make Google Chrome the default browser." on Chrome's settings page has no response. The problem is reported here http://askubuntu.com/questions/688779 /google-chrome-stable-keeps-asking-if-it-should-be-set-to-default but the answer is somewhat wrong. I have successfully reproduced and debugged the problem. I managed to establish that it is connected to xdg-utils, namely to /usr/bin/xdg- settings script. michal@furia:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 15.10 Release: 15.10 Codename: wily michal@furia:~$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser firefox.desktop michal@furia:~$ xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop michal@furia:~$ echo $? 2 michal@furia:~$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser firefox.desktop There is a function in /usr/bin/xdg-settings called desktop_file_to_binary() and it has a bug. It is slightly different than the one in the vanilla xdg-utils 1.1.0 rc3. It is implemented in scripts/xdg-utils-common.in. See line 65 in xdg-utils-1.1.0~rc3+git20150907/scripts/xdg-utils- common.in : command="`grep -E "^Exec(\[[^]=]*])?=" "$file" | cut -d= -f 2- | sed -e 's/ .*$//'`" When executed against google-chrome.desktop or firefox.desktop it results with: google-chrome-stable google-chrome-stable google-chrome-stable or firefox firefox firefox respectively. When passed to `which` and then to `readlink -f` it results with no path to the actual binary. In the vanilla xdg-utils package (version 1.1.0 rc3) the `sed` part is replaced with `first_word`. An alternative would be adding `| head -n 1`. Then we would have only one `google-chrome-stable` or `firefox` which in turn would result with the actual path to binary resolved correctly and that would make xdg-settings work fine. Also, it is possible to set Google Chrome as the default browser via its preferences and the aforementioned first user-facing symptom is gone.
