[Bug 905139] Re: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u"
An additional note on the topic: after inspecting my gconf settings, a number of commands associated to some protocols under /desktop/gnome /url-handlers/ had a "%u" instead of "%s" in their value, which leads me to think that some program corrupted the values as opposed to manual tinkering. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905139 Title: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-vfs/+bug/905139/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 905139] Re: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u"
Interestingly, the default value for this key is defined in /usr/share/gconf/defaults/10_libgnomevfs2-common, and its default value is "sensible-browser %s". It might be that my configuration got messed up with at some point.

[Bug 905139] Re: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u"
I dug further into the code of gnome-vfs, and it turns out that it inspects the value of the GConf key /desktop/gnome/url- handlers/http/command when required to open a URL. The code replaces all occurrences of "%s" with the URL passed as a parameter. On my desktop, the default value for this key is "firefox %u". Setting it to "firefox %s" fixes the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905139 Title: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-vfs/+bug/905139/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 905139] Re: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u"
gnome_url_show(...) calls gnome_vfs_url_show(...) under the hood. The
issue is present there, as demonstrated by the following piece of C
code:
// compile with: gcc test.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gnome-
vfs-2.0`
#include
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
g_type_init();
gnome_vfs_url_show("http://ubuntu.com";);
return 0;
}

[Bug 905139] Re: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u"
Under the covers, gnome.ui.HRef calls gnome_url_show_with_env(...) to
open a URL. The following piece of C code demonstrates that the issue
seems to be in the implementation of gnome_url_show(...):
// compile with: gcc test.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs
libgnome-2.0`
#include
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
g_type_init();
gnome_url_show("http://ubuntu.com";, NULL);

[Bug 905139] Re: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u"
I dug further, and the issue also appears in the C implementation, the
issue is not in the Python wrapper itself. The following piece of C code
demonstrates it:
// compile with: gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0
libgnomeui-2.0` test.c
#include
#include
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
GtkWidget* window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
GtkWidget* href = gnome_href_new("http://ubuntu.com";, "Ubuntu");
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), href);
gtk_widget_show(href);
gtk_widget_show(window);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}

[Bug 905139] Re: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u"
I did a bit of investigation, and it appears that revelation uses a
gnome.ui.HRef
(http://developer.gnome.org/libgnomeui/stable/GnomeHRef.html) to display
URLs. It appears that this widget itself is broken, not the way
revelation uses it. The following piece of Python code demonstrates the
issue:
#!/usr/bin/python
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
import gnome.ui
if __name__ == '__main__':
href = gnome.ui.HRef('http://ubuntu.com', 'Ubuntu')
window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
window.add(href)
href.show()
window.show()
gtk.main()
