To add, when I try irc://irc.gnome.org/#banshee in Chrome, it attempts to launch xdg-open irc://irc.gnome.org/#banshee
Nothing opens however. When I run this command in the terminal I rxdg-open irc://irc.gnome.org/#banshee ecieve the following: joseph@snowdrift:~$ xdg-open irc://irc.gnome.org/#banshee gvfs-open: irc://irc.gnome.org/#banshee: error opening location: The specified location is not supported I have tried adding the following commands, in case there's an issue of the system missing the config: $ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc/command 'xchat "%s"' $ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc/enabled true $ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc/need-terminal false No change. This appears to be a common issue with Natty 10.04 and there appears to be no fix. Can you please advise if this is a bug (upsteam or no) or just a simple lack of documentation issue?
