Thanks for the pointers... I think this is not an apport bug after all, but one in xdg?
I have Google Chrome set as the default browser. When I launch via xdg- open: xdg-open http://bugs.launchpad.net It returns the line "Created new window in existing browser session." ANd it opens a new chrome window with an empty tab (no URL). HOWEVER, when I switch the default back to FireFox, xdg-open DOES open a FF window and loads launchpad.net successfully. Modifying ui.py as you suggested prints this: XXXX opening URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+filebug/e639d1fe-7bf7-11e5-a6ad-002481e7f48a? and again, this fails to open in google chrome (even using xdg-open which is what apport does, I just learned) but succeeds in opening in Firefox. Maybe this is, instead, a bug in xdg-utils? in Trusty, apport had no problems opening bugs in new Google Chrome windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510091 Title: ubuntu-bug in wily fails to open a bug page when reporting bugs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1510091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
