Liferea does not open the links to any browser, no matter if the browser is specified or the default gnome browser is used. Instead, Liferea freezes when you click a link.

(liferea-bin:17013): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gshell.c: line 60 (unquote_string_inplace): assertion `err == NULL || *err == NULL' failed

That's what I get in the command line when a link is clicked btw.

what headlines viewer do you use?

[Program]-[Preferences]-[Headline Display] -> "View Headlines with"

Mozilla works for me ... gtkhtml2 works too, but gives this error:

(liferea-bin:3467): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gsignal.c: line 1634 (g_signal_connect_data): assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

external browser works ([Program]-[Preferences]-[Headline Display] -> deactivate [open links in liferea's window] and then [Program]-[Preferences]-[external browser])

is your gtk* installation up-to-date?

i cannot reproduce even this error i get ... it depends on how good gtkhtml2 can parse a website

please try the mozilla interpreter and also other links

GtkHTML freezes when I double click a link from GnomeFiles to open on my browser. Browser used is Firefox.

Changing the rendering engine to Mozilla instead of GtkHTMl, Liferea doesn't load anymore:

eugenia@lc2430:~> liferea
Available browser modules (/opt/gnome/lib/liferea):
-> GtkHTML2 (liblihtmlg.so)
-> Mozilla (liblihtmlm.so)
Loading configured browser module (liblihtmlm.so)!

Trying to load the Mozilla browser module... Note that this
might not work with every Mozilla version. If you have problems
and Liferea does not start, try to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to
another Mozilla installation or delete the gconf configuration
key /apps/liferea/browser-module!

Segmentation fault

Yes, I have the latest stuff.In fact, I just upgraded to -current a few hours ago.

Because my Eugenia's gconf settings for Liferea now crash it, I had to try it as root. So, using the liferea default settings, no link is loading on firefox (which is the default via "Gnome's Default Browser", as changed via Gnome's pref panel). Changing the Firefox entry on Liferea to "Open in a new tab", it completely freeze liferea.

And changing the engine to Mozilla, liferea dies with the above seg fault.

No matter what links/feeds I try, they all kill or freeze Liferea, depending if using gtkhtml/mozilla and if "open in tabs" is selected when firefox is the selected browser.

Please note that when GtkHTML is used with Konqueror/Opera settings, these browsers DO open. But when Firefox or Mozilla or Epiphany is set, nothing opens. This is obviously a problem with Mozilla* that affects Liferea. And when Mozilla is set as rendering engine, Liferea doesn't even start.

Do you have installed the latest mozilla-common? OVer here I get this:

/opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla: line 164: /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-?.?.?//run-mozilla.sh: No such file or directory

When I try to load a link with Mozilla via Liferea.

liferea 0.6.3 is out and will be in extra in about a hour ... it seems to have this bugs fixed - check it out
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Sunday, 28 November 2004, 20:45 GMT
I installed it, it doesn't fix anything. Links can't open, and mozilla's version locks up on load.
Comment by Damir Perisa (damir.perisa) - Monday, 14 February 2005, 18:03 GMT
check out 0.9.0b-1
