[Bug 751101] Re: mms: links don't open in totem
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Raring Ringtail. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

The file to be edited is /usr/share/applications/totem.desktop, but otherwise the workaround works!

[Bug 751101] Re: mms: links don't open in totem
There's actually multiple bugs here. The only Firefox bug is that you even get offered to open mms links in totem at all, because totem doesn't have x-scheme-handler/mms defined in its desktop file. Once bug 727372 is fixed, Firefox will (correctly) display an error message saying Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (mms) isn't associated with any program. If totem can handle mms links, it needs to declare this in its desktop file (which is a totem bug). Thunderbird only works because it is still using gnomevfs, which is deprecated anyway and will stop working in the future too (but we will have proper gio support then). ** Package changed: firefox (Ubuntu) = totem (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751101 Title: mms: links don't open in totem -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Chris, thanks for the quick and useful reply! I've updated Totem's desktop file per your suggestion and it fixed the problem for me locally. Documenting the workaround for anyone who would stumble upon this issue: - edit /usr/applications/totem.desktop (requires sudo) by adding x-scheme-handler/mms at the end of MimeType line - run `sudo update-desktop-database` to update the MIME types cache -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751101 Title: mms: links don't open in totem -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
