Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
Clicking on certain links in emails displayed with evolution produces the following message: (evolution:17176): evolution-mail-WARNING **: gnome_url_show: The specified location is invalid. Examples of URLs that don't work: finance.yahoo.com lwn.net Other URLs in the same email work perfectly fine. For example: http://finance.yahoo.com http://lwn.net www.yahoo.com www.lwn.net So it seams that gnome_url_show is not very lenient when it comes to deciding if a URL is valid or not. I was expecting it to simply open a firefox window/tab with the link. One further note is that my evolution is connected to an exchange server via owa. Outlook in Vista happily opens these urls without complaint. %> lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04 Release: 8.04 %> apt-cache policy evolution evolution: Installed: 2.22.1-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 2.22.1-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 2.22.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status %> apt-cache policy libgnome2-0 libgnome2-0: Installed: 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gnome_url_show says some evolution email links invalid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
