Created attachment 4646 error window as displayed See here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2053643 The reason I'm filing this here and not at Chrome is because it appears to work fine in KDE and Gnome, but not XFCE Happens with both the Chrome blob from google on XUbuntu and Chromium compiled from source on gentoo Browser version: 22.0.1229.79 (158531) To Reproduce: 1. Install Chrome/Chromium version 22.* 2. Set Chrome/Chromium as the default browser 3. Start an instance of Chrome/Chromium 4a. Click a link a separate app (like chat or terminal that will open in Chrome/Chromium) 4b. Or you can try to start another instance of the browser while the current on is running using the "Application Menu" or other desktop file that runs the default web browser, not the Chrome/Chromium specific desktop file. What Happens: The link is properly followed, but an error box appears with no title. The text reads: "Failed to execute default Web Browser. Input/output error." Judging from the KDE system monitor, the error is coming from "exo-helper-1" command: /usr/lib64/xfce4/exo-1/exo-helper-1 --launch WebBrowser http://google.com
on Gentoo, the version of exo that is installed is: xfce-base/exo-0.8.0 in case that helps.
sorry, for more comments. In Ubuntu the installed packages are: exo-utils-0.6.2-4 libexo-helpers-0.6.2-4 libexo-common-0.6.2-4
Linux 3.5.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 15 13:04:04 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux Archlinux 32-bit Name : exo Version : 0.8.0-1 I can confirm same bug with Google Chrome.
I can confirm the same bug too. Gentoo x86_64, Chromium 22.0.1229.91, exo 0.8.0.
Updating Chromium to v.23.0.1271.22 fixed the problem
Looks like it was fixed with the latest stable chromium release 22.0.1229.94
