[arch-general] Issue with browser opening in LXDE
Hi everyone, I am having an issue which is bothering me recently; I have set up properly the default browser within LXDE but the links are not handled properly. What it happens is that I click on a link and a windows opens returning Error: $HOME/$URL: Not existing file or directory Where $HOME is my home path and $URL is the target URL. I have no clue regarding what configuration makes it so. Any suggestions?

Hi Giovanni,
I have set up properly the default browser within LXDE
How did you do this? What is the default browser?
Error: $HOME/$URL: Not existing file or directory Where $HOME is my home path and $URL is the target URL.
A specific example would be useful. Does opening https://google.com complain about `/home/giovanni/https://google.com', or `/home/giovanni/google.com', or..? -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy

Here it is: $ pacman -Qs xdg-utils local/xdg-utils 1.1.3-2 ... Anyways, found out the issue: I tracked down the application used for setting the default browser and it appears to be libfm-pref-apps. For some strange reasons, applying Firefox as default and saving didn't work, but switching to another browser, saving and closing and then setting again properly Firefox did the trick. I am not sure if it can be reproduced by others, but now it works for me; hoping others won't have my same problem. Regards, P.S. is not-text-only mail OK here?
