i've researched a bit more the problem... the error message seems to come from
gnome_url_show_with_env() http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=+lang:c+There%5C+is%5C+no%5C+default%5C+action%5C+associated%5C+with%5C+this%5C+location.+show:JkwIxfwLJTE:dBUB8OEbf30:9yzcrcxubAY&sa=N&cd=1&ct=rc&cs_p=http://gentoo.osuosl.org/distfiles/libgnome-2.14.1.tar.bz2&cs_f=libgnome-2.14.1/libgnome/gnome-url.c#a0 because gnome_vfs_url_show_with_env() returned GNOME_VFS_ERROR_NO_DEFAULT. and gnome_vfs_url_show_with_env() returns NO_DEFAULT when gnome_vfs_mime_get_default_application_for_uri() and gnome_vfs_mime_get_default_action() return NULL. so it seems have no default application for FTP setup on my computer... and indeed, if i type: gnome-open ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/FOLDER on the terminal is displayed: Error showing url: Unknown error code: 30 -- edgy: places->network servers error https://launchpad.net/bugs/66461 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
