Package: gnome-terminal Version: 2.28.2-1 Severity: normal I have configured gnome to use chromium-browser as my web browser, and that worked for opening urls in gnome-terminal, until today. Now for reasons that escape me, it is always running iceweasel.
None of the far-too-many possible ways to configure a browser point to iceweasel: j...@gnu:~>gconftool --dump / |grep iceweasel j...@gnu:~>gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command chromium-browser %s j...@gnu:~>gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec chromium-browser j...@gnu:~>echo $BROWSER w3m j...@gnu:~>dir /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Sep 29 21:50 /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser -> /usr/bin/epiphany-browser* j...@gnu:~>dir /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 18 2009 /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser -> /usr/bin/konqueror* j...@gnu:~>dir /etc/alternatives/www-browser lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Dec 16 2008 /etc/alternatives/www-browser -> /usr/bin/w3m* I made a ~/bin/iceweasel that just runs chromium-browser, which works around the problem, but I do not understand why the gconf setting is being ignored. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii gnome-terminal-data 2.28.2-1 Data files for the GNOME terminal ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.84-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.10-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libvte9 1:0.22.5-1+b1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-1 X11 client-side library Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii gvfs 1.4.3-1 userspace virtual filesystem - ser ii yelp 2.28.0+webkit-2 Help browser for GNOME gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- see shy jo
