I'm using red-carpet to keep Evo 1.5 snapshots up to date. I just found that I can't access the Gnome Control Centre (which I wanted to do to enable me to run Mozilla when I click on a link). I get: D800:/home/ddougan # /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-control-center ** (gnome-control-center:14705): WARNING **: Could not find directory of control panels [preferences:///]
Feels like a Gnome Control Center bug to me. Please ask the packager (SuSE probably) to fix it.
I run KDE as my desktop environment, on SuSE 9.0.
Anyway, below are some notes on how to change the browser even without using the Gnome Control Center. You will need a working gconf though. ...guenther 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) ----------------------------------------------------- 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; }}}
