Hi, I'm trying to find how I can switch the browser that Evolution activates on links to Firefox. I use Evolution 2.0.1 and Epiphany 1.2.5 (not by choice ;-), on SuSE Pro 9.2 using KDE 3.3.
See below.
To prevent me asking for something that has already been addressed, what is the best way to: (a) browse any sort of mailing list archive (where it is would be a good start ;-)
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/ You can find a link to this on the page, where you subscribed. So here we go again with the most-wanted answer... ;-) Although it didn't come up for more than 2 months. My previously posted default answer below mentions Mozilla, but it shouldn't be hard to adjust it to call Firefox instead. ...guenther Setting default browser (Evolution 1.4, 2.0 / Gnome 2.x) -------------------------------------------------------- Open the "Gnome Control Center" > Preferred Applications > Web Browser or simply run: $ gnome-default-applications-properties check 'Custom Web Browser' Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s" This will present you every link (clicked in a Gnome 2 app) in a new mozilla window. If you prefer tabs (instead of new windows) like me, change it similar like that: Command: mozilla-remote.sh "%s" Have the attached script in your path (or change the command to have the whole path) and make the script executable. If you want to use another browser rather than Mozilla, you have to adjust the command (or the script for most of them, to enable tabs). Setting default browser using *gconftool* (Gnome 2.0/2.2) --------------------------------------------------------- You will need GConf (and the gconf daemon running) to set this. If you do *not* have the Gnome Control Center installed, there is a way to set this using GConf directly: See, which values are stored in that sub-tree. Save the output to a file, so you can revert to those settings! $ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown command = mozilla %s need-terminal = false enabled = true Now, this should enter all those values (at least, they work for me): $ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command 'mozilla %s' $ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/need-terminal false $ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/enabled true Setting default browser using *gconftool* (Gnome 2.4/2.6/2.8) ------------------------------------------------------------- This is basically the as above, just some GConf key change: The relevant key on Gnome 2.4 has changed, but is pretty much similar. Simply substitute "unknown" by "http", especially in the commands to set the values. /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http Also, the "https" branch may be useful. However, this is *not* set using the GUI method mentioned above. -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu\0 ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
