Hello! Boinc Manager (v5.8.16) wont open a browser window when clicking in the \"Web Sites\" buttons. I\'ve started it in a console to see stderr and each time I click on a web button it complains: execvp(epiphany, http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_index.php) failed with error 2! Epiphany is the Gnome browser if I\'m not mistaken, and I don\'t have it instaled since I\'m running KDE (v3.5.6). I would like it to use firefox or konqueror. I have firefox configured in the KDE\'s \"System Settings\" and tried to export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox but stills complaining about epiphany and not opening any browser. Does anybody knows what could be happening? Thanx! |

Ok, I\'ve found a workaround to the problem. I\'ve added a little script called epiphany to my bin directory (in my PATH) that looks like this: #!/bin/bash firefox $1 It\'s like a wrapper that calls firefox when epiphany is invoked. Hope this helps someone! Cheers! |
