[Bug 280623] Re: .deb association with gdebi doesn't work in firefox
OK so I'm opening a little can of worms here, but some things just need to be done. gdebi needs to run as root to install packages. Firefox is (hopefully) NOT running as root. This is a HUGELY important issue for everyday end-users - they click, they expect things to work. There may well be a program out there already that works properly given nothing more than an URL. If so, the right answer for this bug is use that program instead - so if you know what the right answer is, speak up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280623 Title: .deb association with gdebi doesn't work in firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/280623/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry, spoke too soon : I cannot reproduce it with http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pidgin/pidgin_2.5.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb where the server sends the wrong mime type (text/plain) But I can reproduce it with http://pidgin- facebookchat.googlecode.com/files/pidgin-facebookchat-1.47.deb where the server sends the mime type application/x-archive application/x-debian- package I think part of the problem comes from the fact that firefox is very bad at handling external applications. It first uses it's own hardcoded database of extensions-mimetype, then uses mimeTypes.rdf, then at last uses the system's mime associations.

[Bug 280623] Re: .deb association with gdebi doesn't work in firefox
Hello there, I can confirm that this happens, and I have found a way to get around it. It seems firefox is looking for the correct program, but is looking in the wrong place. So, what I had to do, is when firefox brings up the download box, just choose a different program. In this case I figured the best one would probably be gdebi-gtk, which is gdebi with a gui. All you need to do is click install packages. By the way, if you, like me, had no idea where to find the program it is in /usr/bin /gdebi-gtk.
