[gentoo-user] Konsole question

[gentoo-user] Konsole question

[Philip Webb]

When an URL appears in a console, it is usually possible to R-click,
then choose 'open link' & a browser(-tab) opens for that link.
With Xfce's Terminal, it opens in a running instance of Firefox.
With KDE's Konsole, it opens Konqueror, which I don't usually have running.

However, since around KDE 4.7.1 & continuing in 4.8.0 ,
the version of Konqueror which opens is the file browser,
which I never otherwise use & which is useless for this purpose.
Clearly, what sb opened is Konqueror in browser mode.

Has anyone else encountered this problem ?
I've tried to find where the browser to open is configured, but can't.
Have I missed a setting somewhere or is this a KDE bug I should report ?

I'm running 99.99% stable here so takes that for what it is. Here,
with Firefox open I run in konsole

eix ardour

and then right click on the ardour.org link and choose Open Link. I
get the Ardour web site in the running version of Firefox.

With Firefox not running KDE/konsole still opens Firefox.

Konsole should open the default browser set in KDE. 
You can check that in  systemsettings -> Workspace Appearance and
Behavior -> Default Applications -> Web Browser

IIRC some browsers allow you to 'set them as default' somewhere in their
menu (usually as an annoying popup at startup, until you disable it ;)
which should work with kde.. (at least i think it worked the last time i
tested it with chromium... but i mostly set it up manualy)

That's what happens for me with Terminal, but not with Konsole.

There's no 'Default Applications' in my 'systemsettings'.
That mb because I don't have the whole of KDE installed,
as I use Fluxbox as my desktop/window manager.
The 'Default Applications' setting sb stored somewhere: any idea where ?

Anyone else have ideas ?

Thanks : that's it !  After a reboot, the URL now opens in Firefox.
