Re: [opensuse] Firefox 2.0.0.11 doesn't open an URL in Thunderbird

Hello again... I still cannot open url's in thunderbird, and from there Firefox. Nor other browsers opens. I have to copy/paste.
Thunderbird is version 2.0.0.9
Firefox is version 2.0.0.11
The problem has not always been there
What could be wrong ?
Is gnome-open already working on your system? I told you that Thunderbird is using the same function to open an URL as the gnome-open utility.

Hi Wolfgang. I use KDE. But if I misunderstand, please tell more about it.

Via PM I asked you to check if gnome-open http://some.url gives you any success. But that command gave you only an error message about missing libraries IIRC. If that's still the case, Thunderbird will never open Firefox to open the URL. You have to fix that missing library. So have you done what I told you in my last statement? "So you have to install the package avahi-glib at least." -------------------------------------------------

gnome-open: error while loading shared libraries: libavahi-glib.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But I use KDE.
OK, that's the reason. gnome-open uses the very same function call as Thunderbird to open an URL. Even if you use KDE the requirements should be fulfilled what doesn't seem to be the case on your system: Hygiea:~ # ldd `which gnome-open` | grep avahi libavahi-glib.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libavahi-glib.so.1 (0x00002b1908901000) libavahi-client.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libavahi-client.so.3 (0x00002b1908b06000) libavahi-common.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libavahi-common.so.3 (0x00002b1908f4f000) Hygiea:~ # rpm -qf `which gnome-open` libgnome-2.20.0-6 Hygiea:~ # rpm -qR libgnome | grep avahi libavahi-client.so.3()(64bit) libavahi-common.so.3()(64bit) libavahi-glib.so.1()(64bit) Ignore the 64bit stuff for your system. So you have to install the package avahi-glib at least. ------------------------------------------------- Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
