Description Toralf Förster 2008-07-10 12:05:41 UTC

Launching wireshark (as root where I don't configured KDE or sth. else) and clicking at "How to capture" I get :

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ su -c /home/tfoerste/devel/wireshark/wireshark
Password:
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 329: kfmclient: command not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 321: test: : integer expression expected
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 322: test: : integer expression expected
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 323: test: : integer expression expected

The test operator in xdg-open isn't used in a safe way where a KDE environment isn't set. For the URL of original report pls see above.

what is your Window Manager ?

kfmclient is used only if you are under KDE.

Comment 2 Toralf Förster 2009-08-04 01:04:12 UTC

I have KDE 3.5.10.

> I have KDE 3.5.10.

kfmclient is part of kdebase module.
It should be installed in a standard KDE installation.
which distribution do you use ?

we do the following in xdg-open:
1) detectDE (detect desktop environment)
2) open_kde (call open_kde if desktop environment detected if KDE)
3) kfmclient (called inside open_kde)

Comment 4 Toralf Förster 2009-08-07 00:55:51 UTC

I'm using Gentoo, however in the mean while I've a new ThinkPad w/ new packages where I can't reproduce the behaviour anymore - I'll close this bug.
