| Random832 | why don't xdg-open and xdg-settings work? | 04:46 |
|---|---|---|
| Random832 | and where the heck is the preferred web browser setting stored? | 04:46 |
| holstein | Random832: i use "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" | 04:50 |
| Random832 | that's a global setting, not a user-specific one | 04:50 |
| Random832 | it's the principle, and the fact that there is a control panel that doesn't actually do anything | 04:50 |
| holstein | i used to feel that way to.. now, i try and help out where i can, and just use what works.. and try and get with the philosophy when i can | 04:52 |
| ianorlin | which version are you using? | 04:53 |
| holstein | i think the more recent versions are addressing that, for sure | 04:53 |
| ianorlin | cause there isn't a do nothing contorl panel in 13.04 or 13.10 | 04:54 |
| Random832 | ianorlin: the setting modified by the preferred applications control panel is not actually used where it's supposed to be, to be precise. | 04:55 |
| Random832 | when i select a browser, that should control what browser opens with xdg-open http://stuff | 04:55 |
| Random832 | and when i select a mail handler, that should control what runs when i run xdg-open mailto:stuff | 04:55 |
| holstein | presice is 12.04 | 04:55 |
| Random832 | ...... | 04:56 |
| holstein | those issues should be addressed in more recent and supported versions of lubuntu | 04:56 |
| Random832 | precise is a word in the english language | 04:56 |
| Random832 | that has a meaning | 04:56 |
| Random832 | that I was using in a sentence | 04:56 |
| holstein | Random832: i thought you were answering the question that was asked.. appologies. what version are you using? | 04:56 |
| Random832 | latest | 04:56 |
| holstein | Random832: so 13.10, then? | 04:56 |
| Random832 | yeah i guess, how do i find out | 04:56 |
| Random832 | i think i upgraded to 13.10 | 04:57 |
| ianorlin | lsb_relase -a in terminal | 04:57 |
| Random832 | yeah 13.10 | 04:57 |
| holstein | Random832: an upgrade would have been from an earlier version. not utilizing installation media | 04:57 |
| Random832 | I don't know why you're asking, since the machinery to make xdg_open work just isn't there - it doesn't even detect that I'm on lxde, and if I modify it to do so, all that does is make it open folders in pcmanfm | 04:58 |
| Random832 | *xdg-open | 04:58 |
| Random832 | it "works" by opening x-www-browser, which does not use the setting from the preferred applications control panel | 04:59 |
| ianorlin | you can right click there and have another browser on the panel | 05:00 |
| Unit193 | Also, I had an upgrade where I needed to modify a file under ~/.local/share/ before it'd take, but this sounds different. | 05:01 |
| Random832 | right-click where? i don't care about the panel, i want it to open in the right thing when i ctrl-click a link in the terminal | 05:02 |
| Random832 | and ultimately i "fixed" it by changing x-www-browser, but it bothers me that the preferred applications control panel doesn't do anything effective. | 05:02 |

| maybd082 | Hi everyone, I am new to linux. I installed Lubuntu 12.10 from a live cd and now I am upgrading it to Lubuntu 13.04. Is it ok to upgrade it again to version 13.10 or is this too many upgrades? | 23:56 |
| Unit193 | maybd082: Can if you want. | 23:57 |
| Unit193 | FuuqUmiist: Are you using any type of weird devices? If so, you'll need to use pulse and pavucontrol. | 23:58 |
| maybd082 | No nothing strange, it is just an old 64 bit computer | 23:58 |
| FuuqUmiist | i plugged in a mic to the laptop but it is not working, the mic that is working is the one integrated into the laptop | 23:59 |
