[Bug 932472] Re: xdg-open does not seem to handle magnet links
I've got similar problem on Xubuntu 14.10 when using Chromium: click on
magnet link opens Firefox window which (correctly) opens torrent client
(Transmission). I found a solution:
'xdg-open' script incorrectly recognises Xfce4 desktop in 'detectDE()'
function (very old code?), which makes that 'open_generic()' is used
instead of 'open_xfce()'. The code below works much better:
detectDE()
{
if [ x$KDE_FULL_SESSION = xtrue ]; then DE=kde;
elif [ x$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID != x ]; then DE=gnome;
elif `dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus
/org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.GetNameOwner
string:org.gnome.SessionManager /dev/null 21` ; then DE=gnome;
elif [ x$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP = xXFCE ]; then DE=xfce;
elif [ x$DESKTOP_SESSION = xLXDE ]; then DE=lxde;
else DE=
fi
}

[Bug 932472] Re: xdg-open does not seem to handle magnet links
I can confirm that this bug is still present in 13.04, and that as guigouz said, the debian sid package fixes the problem. (I am using a generic window manager - fluxbox.) I can't check the status of the package in 13.10 right now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932472 Title: xdg-open does not seem to handle magnet links To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/932472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 932472] Re: xdg-open does not seem to handle magnet links
The workaround presented by Cristiano Nunes still depends on gnome-open and hacks the detect_de function on xdg-open so it treats any window manager as gnome. xdg-utils_1.1.0~rc1+git20111210 from debian sid fixes the problem with generic window managers, a simple dpkg-rebuildpackage resolved the issue (the original debian package may install without modifications, haven't tested it) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932472 Title: xdg-open does not seem to handle magnet links To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/932472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
