[opensuse] KMail suddenly opens links with Quanta instead of Firefox
Running SLED 11 with Gnome. Using Kmail as mail client. Installed Quanta Plus 3.5.9 for web authoring. Now Kmail uses Quanta to open URL's instead of Firefos as i used to. I cant seem to find the place where Kmail stores what software to use. Gnome is set to use Firefox. -- /Rikard Johnels

Run KDE's systemsettings and in the Default Applications module, check that Firefox is the default web browser. Also in the File Associations module (in the advanced tab in systemsettings) check settings for text/html or any other relevant mimetype. -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Um, try "systemsettings" as a command. It's in package kdebase4-workspace, which you should have installed if you have Kmail installed. Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No i dont.. I never installed KDE4 on this box. Only gnome, and the package containing Kmail (And the dep's) /Rikard Johnels

Is there really no one that can tell me how to manually edit whatever preference file that store the setting of what software that opens a html link? I dont have the "systemsettings" installed. There must be a way to "hand hack" the thing... But no matter how i try i cant find it.... /Rikard Johnels

Interesting combination, kmail under gnome. Since you don't have a system-settings gui, you could try the hard-core way. Perform a search on /etc and ~/ for Quanta, changing that to FF if it looks like a pointer to a browser. Need to be root or su to do this in /etc. find /etc -type f -print0 | xargs -O grep -i quanta will get you a list of files with [Q]quanta in them. -- Tom Taylor - retired penguin openSuSE 11.3-M7 x86_64 KDE 4.4.3, FF 3.6.4 claws-mail 3.7.6 linxt-AT-comcast.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

True, which is why I specified ~/ in the previous paragraph, I just didn't include it in the example. So add this: find ~/ -type f -print0 | xargs -O grep -i quanta Does that meet your objection? -- Tom Taylor - retired penguin openSuSE 11.3-M7 x86_64 KDE 4.4.3, FF 3.6.4 claws-mail 3.7.6 linxt-AT-comcast.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Oh come on, are you sure that hard-core is not too easy :), for a user who doesn't even know how to find out how to install a missing application? $ systemsettings If 'systemsettings' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf systemsettings $ cnf systemsettings The program 'systemsettings' can be found in following packages: * kdebase4-workspace [ path: /usr/bin/systemsettings, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ] Try installing with: sudo zypper install kdebase4-workspace $ sudo zypper install kdebase4-workspace ... there you go -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

$ systemsettings If 'systemsettings' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf systemsettings
$ cnf systemsettings
The program 'systemsettings' can be found in following packages: * kdebase4-workspace [ path: /usr/bin/systemsettings, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ]
Try installing with: sudo zypper install kdebase4-workspace
$ sudo zypper install kdebase4-workspace
... there you go

CAN but why would i just for the sake of ONE setting? I dont like to many unused stuff cluttering my system. Sure, if it is the only way to change that darn setting i would. But i refuse to think its the only way to deal with the problem. The setting is stored SOMEWHERE.. I just need to find out WHERE... /Rikard Johnels

One? I count 37.
I dont like to many unused stuff cluttering my system.
I sympathise, but compared to some of the stuff I have complained about here in the past that I cannot eliminate this is small fry. I use Thunderbird on my laptop and communicate with a mail-hub I have no need for Postfix, yet I *have* to have it (or Exim), all 2349556 bytes of it. I don't use LDAP for login, but despite the options in /etc/nsswitch.conf there are many library modules, even those used by /bin/ls, to map between ID# and user name that drag in all of NIS and LDAP, regardless. Other parts of Linux use 'plugin' technology but not this; even other parts of the login mechanism - PAM - is plugin, but not this. I've been told to suck it up and get on with it, and I expect you'll be told much the same.
Sure, if it is the only way to change that darn setting i would. But i refuse to think its the only way to deal with the problem. The setting is stored SOMEWHERE.. I just need to find out WHERE...
Quite possibly. If you find a way to remove Postfix and LDAP, please tell me. -- The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of meeting schedules is forgotten. --Kathleen Byle, Sandia National Laboratories -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
