Re: [Ekiga-list] in KDE cannot open URL's from Tools->PC-to-phone account



But I use Kubuntu 6.06 and current latest stable KDE 3.5.4 and would
like to say, that I cannot open URL's from Tools->PC-to-phone account.
My current kernel is 2.6.15-23-386.

Seems to be a bug in kubuntu. What are the results of:
gconftool-2 -a --all-dirs /desktop/gnome/url-handlers

$ gconftool-2 -a --all-dirs /desktop/gnome/url-handlers
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/man
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/cdda
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/aim
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/info
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ghelp
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/h323
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/trash
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/callto
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/sip
 /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto


gconftool-2 -a --all-dirs /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http

$ gconftool-2 -a --all-dirs /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http
 needs_terminal = false
 command = gnome-www-browser %s
 enabled = true

There should be a line with something like "command = firefox %s". Make sure this command actually points to an installed browser (Either install the programm, or add/change the keys in the gconf database. You can do this for example with 'gconftool-2 -s -tstring /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command "konqueror %s"'. You can also use gconf-editor to change this).

I preferred gconf-editor, which I installed using apt-get. I prefer Firefox and after I put this into gconf - everything works like a charm :)

I would like to thank you for help! My first impression from Ekiga community is very positive!


If an appropriate entry is missing, please file a bugreport against kubuntu.

I think, it's not really bug but it would be an issue in Ekiga's FAQ for future's KDE users. You may see my output of your suggested commands and use them as example in your FAQ for KDE 3.5.4 because I use this version.



Best Regards,
