[Desktop-packages] [Bug 932472] Re: xdg-open does not seem to handle magnet links
I've got similar problem on Xubuntu 14.10 when using Chromium: click on
magnet link opens Firefox window which (correctly) opens torrent client
(Transmission). I found a solution:
'xdg-open' script incorrectly recognises Xfce4 desktop in 'detectDE()'
function (very old code?), which makes that 'open_generic()' is used
instead of 'open_xfce()'. The code below works much better:
detectDE()
{
if [ x$KDE_FULL_SESSION = xtrue ]; then DE=kde;
elif [ x$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID != x ]; then DE=gnome;
elif `dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus
/org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.GetNameOwner
string:org.gnome.SessionManager /dev/null 21` ; then DE=gnome;
elif [ x$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP = xXFCE ]; then DE=xfce;
elif [ x$DESKTOP_SESSION = xLXDE ]; then DE=lxde;
else DE=
fi
}

I can confirm that this bug is still present in 13.04, and that as guigouz said, the debian sid package fixes the problem. (I am using a generic window manager - fluxbox.) I can't check the status of the package in 13.10 right now. -- 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/932472 Title: xdg-open does not seem to handle magnet links Status in “xdg-utils” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: i'm running precise 12.04 expected behavior is to open magnet links in a bittorrent client. on Lubuntu, the actual behavior is to open another chromium window when clicking the link. $ dpkg -I xdg-utils dpkg-deb: error: failed to read archive `xdg-utils': No such file or directory anliot@6002:~/pcman/pcmanfm-0.9.10$ man dpkg anliot@6002:~/pcman/pcmanfm-0.9.10$ dpkg -s xdg-utils Package: xdg-utils Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: utils Installed-Size: 316 Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com Architecture: all Version: 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu6 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-14.23-generic 3.2.3 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-14-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.91-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Feb 14 20:01:02 2012 Dependencies: InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin - Alpha amd64 (20120205) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xdg-utils UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/932472/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Desktop-packages] [Bug 932472] Re: xdg-open does not seem to handle magnet links
The workaround presented by Cristiano Nunes still depends on gnome-open and hacks the detect_de function on xdg-open so it treats any window manager as gnome. xdg-utils_1.1.0~rc1+git20111210 from debian sid fixes the problem with generic window managers, a simple dpkg-rebuildpackage resolved the issue (the original debian package may install without modifications, haven't tested it) -- 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/932472 Title: xdg-open does not seem to handle magnet links Status in “xdg-utils” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: i'm running precise 12.04 expected behavior is to open magnet links in a bittorrent client. on Lubuntu, the actual behavior is to open another chromium window when clicking the link. $ dpkg -I xdg-utils dpkg-deb: error: failed to read archive `xdg-utils': No such file or directory anliot@6002:~/pcman/pcmanfm-0.9.10$ man dpkg anliot@6002:~/pcman/pcmanfm-0.9.10$ dpkg -s xdg-utils Package: xdg-utils Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: utils Installed-Size: 316 Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com Architecture: all Version: 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu6 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-14.23-generic 3.2.3 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-14-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.91-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Feb 14 20:01:02 2012 Dependencies: InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin - Alpha amd64 (20120205) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xdg-utils UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/932472/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
