I can confirm this with a freshly installed 8.04.1 + updates, when opening a .deb file. Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads, Binaries (all platforms), select Ubuntu 8.04 (x86) and agree to the PUEL to get the download link. 2. Click on the download link to get the download action dialog. 3. Choose the default (Open with GDebi). What happens: Firefox says the file "could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist." What I expected to happen: To have the downloaded .deb file open in GDebi. -- wrong permissions on /tmp files makes it impossible to directly view with external viewer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254169 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
