arandHow can I force apport-cli to use lynx?01:03
mpontilloarand, I'd try doing: sudo aptitude install lynx-cur && sudo update-alternatives --set www-browser /usr/bin/lynx.cur01:08
arandmpontillo: cheers I just messed with preferred applications in gnome temporarily.01:30
mpontilloah, arand, thought that only changed x-www-browser, not www-browser01:38
mpontillo(actually the gnome one likely doesn't affect the system-wide alternative, does it?)01:38
arandmpontillo: actually none of those are set to firefox, which is my default, x- is set to chromium, www- is set to lynx (works in tty as it should), and gnome- isnt' "installed" at all.01:40
mpontilloarand: huh. so apport doesn't use the alternative, I guess?01:41
arandmpontillo: apport-cli uses whatever is set in gnome, or www- it seems, and the one set in gnome is independent of all those vars.01:42
mpontilloarand, I see. the comments in apport-cli state that w3m and lynx do not work, but elinks works. looking at apport/ui.py, there is a somewhat complex bit of logic to select the browser in open_url()01:45
arandmpontillo: ah, so it explicitly says the don't work.. hmm01:46
mpontilloright, and it looks like if DISPLAY is not set it will try to use www-browser (whatever that alternative happens to be set to)01:50
arandAnyhow, seems like elinks works alright, so that's at least an available alternative...01:54
