According to mate, the "gvfs-open" command is no longer a mate-fork, but part of gnome. https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-vfs/issues/6#issuecomment-128310994
Furthermore, within the Gnome (Unity) environment, running the command "gvfs-open http://www.bbc.co.uk"; opens the BBC webpage as we expect. However, running in the Mate environment, running the same command opens a blank webpage. So the problem thus far is that when a Gnome component is run outside of Gnome, it doesn't work as expected. What should I do now? I don't know where to to take this... ** Summary changed: - ubuntu-bug is itself broken + ubuntu-bug is broken (only) within Mate, because of gvfs-open. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1464053 Title: ubuntu-bug is broken (only) within Mate, because of gvfs-open.
