Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1624022] Re: Alias 'browse' to sensible-browser
Guys, the bug is to have the command "browse" DTRT. It sounds like xdg-open is TRT :) but please don't forget that the point is to get the command "browse" onto every ubuntu system. xdg-open is a lovely command for people who have a clue what xdg is. "browse " is what we want to tell our users to do.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1624022] Re: Alias 'browse' to sensible-browser
the "kbd" package has a binary called /bin/open - it would not be very awesome to shadow that xdg-open is probably better though, since it (AFAIK) falls back to sensible-browser if necessary like in a console, but uses more modern methods to select the program otherwise & I think it would be best if any solution were implemented in Debian as well, to both get wider adoption and help prevent any hiccups if a future package takes over the generic name that is chosen -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sensible-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1624022 Title: Alias 'browse' to sensible-browser Status in sensible-utils package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The 'sensible-browser' command is very useful, but it's a bit unwieldy to use everywhere in docs.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1624022] Re: Alias 'browse' to sensible-browser
Or why don't we do like Apple and just symlink /usr/bin/open to /usr/bin /xdg-open (since it's installed in Kubuntu too unlike gvfs-open) ? Then you could recommend sudo apt install foo; open http://locahost:2022/ and you could also open ~/Pictures/yakkety-yak.png etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sensible-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1624022 Title: Alias 'browse' to sensible-browser Status in sensible-utils package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The 'sensible-browser' command is very useful, but it's a bit unwieldy to use everywhere in docs.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1624022] Re: Alias 'browse' to sensible-browser
I think sensible-browser is obsolete and I'd like to see it go away. Most things use mimetypes these days but it's the odd thing in the Debian repositories that still uses sensible-browser that's annoying. As far as I know, there is not a GUI way to configure the Debian alternatives that sensible-browser uses.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1624022] Re: Alias 'browse' to sensible-browser
Advice from Chad is that we should symlink /usr/bin/browse to sensible-browser in the sensible-utils package.
