[Bug 576734] Re: Empathy does not honor default browser when clicking URLs in chat
I had this issue but as Omer said, it appears that when Chrome is set as the default browser from within chrome it doesn't update the gnome defaults. After running the gnome-default-applications-properties application and set it manually after which it all worked as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576734 Title: Empathy does not honor default browser when clicking URLs in chat -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 576734] Re: Empathy does not honor default browser when clicking URLs in chat
#7 worked for me. This leads to a further questions... I updated my browser information using galternatives and within the browser update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser update-alternatives --config x-www-browser I changed both of these to /usr/bin/chrome, but that didn't resolve this issue for me.

thanks for taking time to report this bug and helping to make ubuntu better. Please open gnome-default-applications-properties and there select the default browser to chromium. if its not installed install it with the command that it will give you. probably it is using gnome's prefered app in either case upstream developers are sure its not empathy bug so I will mark this invalid. ** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Empathy does not honor default browser when clicking URLs in chat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Leo, this is what I did: - Install chrome - From within Chrome, go to Options and make Chrome the default browser - URLs from all other applications (Psi, Kmail, Konsole etc) seem to work just fine (that is, they open in Chrome). However, URLs from Empathy still open in Firefox Note that I'm running Kubuntu. Perhaps this has something to do with it? I also checked Default Applications using the System Settings application that ships with Kubuntu and the default web browser is indeed set to Chrome. -- Empathy does not honor default browser when clicking URLs in chat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
