| lotuspsychje | leftyfb: when clicking on an ubuntu channel from community support/discourse the irc: link gives a window to pick between mibbit ir system handler (in my case hexchat) do you know if thunderbird is on system handler by default? | 16:29 |
|---|---|---|
| leftyfb | no clue | 16:30 |
| lotuspsychje | would be cool if a user clicked on a channel and thunderbird jumps open on a vanilla ubuntu | 16:31 |
| leftyfb | exactly | 16:33 |
| lotuspsychje | thunderbird settings doesnt show any make this to default irc | 16:42 |
| lotuspsychje | and FF shows irc handler to 'always ask' (system handler vs mibbit) | 16:44 |
| Fallen | I'm not sure if someone else did this more recently, but what feels like about 10 years ago I had tried to add support for Thunderbird to take operating system default handlers and it was quite a mess, to the point where I gave up. There had been no distro independent way to do this. | 17:29 |
| leftyfb | it works fine for email links | 17:30 |
| leftyfb | "mailto:" | 17:30 |
| lotuspsychje | lemme try a vm on jammy | 17:34 |
| lotuspsychje | no dice | 18:00 |
| lotuspsychje | no application found when i yelp==>community support==>irc channels==> click #ubuntu ==> system handler==> no application found | 18:01 |
| lotuspsychje | too bad | 18:07 |
| lotuspsychje | and FF doesnt seem to like mibbit neither | 18:14 |
| lotuspsychje | gives the continue at your own risk window | 18:14 |
| leftyfb | I asked about making hexchat(I think it was xchat at the time) a default installed application on ubuntu. It was turned down | 18:17 |
| lotuspsychje | leftyfb: xchat was default on an early version of ubuntu once | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | till ubuntu 5.10 | 18:20 |
| leftyfb | ah, I didn't start until 7.04 | 18:20 |
| lotuspsychje | dont think ive ever tested that neither | 18:21 |
| lotuspsychje | so i could file a thunderbird wishlist, but prob not much change they will add system handler by default? | 18:21 |
| leftyfb | seems silly they would bother integrating an IRC client but not giving it a handler | 18:22 |
| leftyfb | to be honest, I'd be afraid they would just as soon remove the IRC part | 18:22 |
| lotuspsychje | you think i should file it? | 18:22 |
| lotuspsychje | its actualy a pretty decent chat | 18:22 |
| leftyfb | I used it once when it was first added just to see. I don't remember it at al | 18:23 |
| leftyfb | I'm very set in my ways with applications :) | 18:23 |
| lotuspsychje | same here | 18:23 |
| lotuspsychje | but this is for luring our users :p | 18:23 |
| leftyfb | which is funny because I use thunderbird extensively. I've got 7 email accounts and 4 calendars added to it | 18:24 |
| lotuspsychje | the email client is real decent too yeah | 18:24 |
| lotuspsychje | i even got win customers running it | 18:24 |
| leftyfb | before thunderbird, I used Eudora :) | 18:24 |
| lotuspsychje | not familiar | 18:25 |
| lotuspsychje | oh well, im gonna file the wishlist anyway, would could go wrong eh | 18:25 |
| leftyfb | they could remove the irc client completely because it's easier than dealing with it :) | 18:26 |
| lotuspsychje | loll | 18:26 |
| leftyfb | it's funny, typing Eudora into google, the first relevant link is to computerhistory.org. That should tell you something | 18:26 |
| lotuspsychje | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1983144 | 18:30 |
| lotuspsychje | hggdh: can you convert to wishlist (again) please? : ) | 18:31 |
| hggdh | lotuspsychje: done | 18:40 |
| lotuspsychje | tnx very much hggdh | 18:41 |
