Thanks Craigevil. Ok redid it adding the 100 priority after and still the same.......(missed that the first time) :: Code :: root@siduxbox:/home/kb9klc# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser \

(meaning I used both "/opt/firefox/firefox/ and /usr/bin/firefox" Both came out the same way. Back to top |

You forgot one of the arguments (note, www-browser is for console/terminal default browser, like links2):
:: Code :: update-alternatives: --install needs <link> <name> <path> <priority>
<link> is the symlink pointing to /etc/alternatives/<name>. (e.g. /usr/bin/pager) <name> is the master name for this link group. (e.g. pager) <path> is the location of one of the alternative target files. (e.g. /usr/bin/less) <priority> is an integer; options with higher numbers have higher priority in automatic mode. :: Code :: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /opt/firefox/firefox 100
update-alternatives: using /opt/firefox/firefox to provide /usr/bin/x-www-browser (x-www-browser) in auto mode. Back to top |

Also note that the icon file name changed from mozicon50.xpm to mozicon128.xpm in firefox 3.6, which makes the firefox.desktop require an update. I added all the information from this thread to the main thread re update-alternatives and the firefox.desktop thing.

:: Code :: # update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
There are 4 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /opt/firefox/firefox 100 auto mode 1 /opt/firefox/firefox 100 manual mode 2 /usr/bin/iceweasel 70 manual mode 3 /usr/bin/konqueror 100 manual mode 4 /usr/bin/opera 90 manual mode Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: ok this is what I have now and although the pages appear to be *look??* ok now I am still getting that address in the address bar...... :: Code :: file:///var/tmp/kdecache-kb9klc/krun/2664.0.82970607.htmlThe address should be :: Code :: http://www.katu.com/news/82970607.htmlI just am not sure why it's loading from some type of KDE cache rather than going to the actual site. I have rechecked the instructions from the entire process and I believe I have it correctly. Again this happen when I'm in kopete chatting and click on a link someone sends me....... Back to top |

EDIT: Ok got it working all now I think. I had to change in settings >file associations >applications> x-mimearchive from /opt/firefox/firefox to firefox %u" Actually I've changed them all to that for now in settings......I'll see how that goes. If you think this isn't the right thing to do, let me know or a different work around. Again Thanks Alot.
For the record it appears to be ok when running pidgin. I have the link working correctly in icedove so kopete would be the only thing.....I know that's kind of petty but........Any other ideas and thanks for all the help already I really appreciate it. I gotta be honest though so far other than that, it's working flawlessly.....Again THANKS!! Back to top |
