[Bug 52670] Re: Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser
Without knowing the intricacies, surely this should be quite easy to fix? Gnome-based apps such as Thunderbird use /etc/alternatives/x-www- browser. So when the default browser is changed, can it not change the default there as well? This is one of the major gripes new Kubuntu users have :) -- Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser https://launchpad.net/bugs/52670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was merely enumerating possible solutions to the problem. Sorry to disappoint you. Also, unfortunately I have not seen any spec about this for Feisty.

[Bug 52670] Re: Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser
What I think of the correct solution: The debian-alternatives system is better than the KDE one, but there shouldn´t exist 2 systems. So: 1. Thunderbird should use the browser set by the alternatives system 2. Threre should be a littel GUI to set options for that system 3. The KDE settings to set a web browser and email Program (and whatever is managed by debian-alternatives) should be removed, instead the debian-alternatives settings should be used. I don´t know in how far the ubuntu team modifies KDE but this should be possible and is IMHO the most user-friendly and best solution -- Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser https://launchpad.net/bugs/52670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Actually, there is a big problem there. The debian alternatives-system cannot handle per-user configuration. -- Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser https://launchpad.net/bugs/52670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser (or its www-x-browser) either way you set FF as default there and thunderbird will use it this is not a bug. i am going to close this now thank you for your report. If this does not fix it please re-open this bug. Interesting. it seems that the module in system settings doesnt actually modify the path of sudo update-alternatives --config x-www- browser. I'm suspecting it should. -- Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser https://launchpad.net/bugs/52670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 52670] Re: Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser
This is really nice, but (k)ubuntu should be a distribution which is usable without cryptic commands, so I suggest to integrate this with the environment. There should be a configuration GUI for that and in kubuntu KDE should be set to use the symlink created by alternatives by default, so that the setting will be used in KDE automatically! -- Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser https://launchpad.net/bugs/52670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

click on it where it says affects and you will see drop down box and just set it to unconfirmed/confirmed.

[Bug 52670] Re: Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser
You can reassign bugs to the correct place. If i remember correctly, this is a setting in thunderbird's users.js - so not a kubuntu metapackage bug. This is similar to the bug that occurs with getting thunderbird to open with firefox 1.5, at least with the mozilla binaries. ** Changed in: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: kubuntu-meta = mozilla-thunderbird Status: Rejected = Unconfirmed -- Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser https://launchpad.net/bugs/52670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Why do you reject this? Where should thunderbird know what´s the default web browser?
