reopen 357393 thanks Package: iceweasel Version: 2.0+dfsg-1 Followup-For: Bug #357393
hi If I start $ iceweasel http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mennucc1/fuzzyocr/fuzzyocr_2.3b-1.dsc & from the terminal; that link is of type text/pgp : then iceweasel offers to open with 'less' ; if I accept, immediatly the shell reports [1]+ Stopped iceweasel since 'less' wants to access the terminal; if I foreground iceweasel, then less works on the terminal, and I can hit 'q' to exit it, and then I can background iceweasel again. If I start $ nohup iceweasel http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mennucc1/fuzzyocr/fuzzyocr_2.3b-1.dsc & then iceweasel does not hung, and the output of less goes into 'nohup.out'. If I start iceweasel from a Gnome menu, then the output of less goes into ~/.xsession-errors Anyhow, this bug is not fixed. The correct way to fix this bug is that iceweasel/firefox must care for the 'needsterminal' keyword in MIME specification: $ grep less /etc/mailcap text/plain; less '%s'; needsterminal text/*; less '%s'; needsterminal The above means that less needs a terminal, and so 1) either iceweasel/firefox starts a terminal and less into it ; for example, the command x-terminal-emulator -e less /tmp/fuzzyocr_2.3b-1.dsc works fine in Debian 2) or, otherwise, iceweasel/firefox must ignore any mailcap entry that has the keyword needsterminal in it a. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (450, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-amd64 Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 2.17.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.4.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libmyspell3c2 1:3.1-17 MySpell spellchecking library ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.7-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.13-4 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-19 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-8 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxp6 1:1.0.0.xsf1-1 X Printing Extension (Xprint) clie ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime iceweasel recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Andrea Mennucc "The EULA sounds like it was written by a team of lawyers who want to tell me what I can't do, and the GPL sounds like it was written by a human being who wants me to know what I can do."
