Description Siggy Brentrup 2009-07-29 09:09:58 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When moving the mouse over a recognized link in the terminal window,
it gets underlined as expected but when left-clicking, nothing
happens. 

Steps to reproduce:
Ubuntu 9.04 && see above


Actual results:
nothing

Expected results:
Depending on the link, e.g. the URL being opened in a new tab in my browser.

Does this happen every time?
sure

Other information:
I have only a single browser installed and will not change that.

I assume the action is either an undocumented configuration option
or even hardcoded in hotssh.

Am I supposed to RTSL?

You have to control-click.  This behavior comes from gnome-terminal; perhaps the idea is to avoid accidentally triggering a URL when you want to select for copy&paste?
Comment 2 Siggy Brentrup 2009-07-29 16:29:21 UTC
Nice try, I admit my report wasn't complete

right click on URL
select Open URL from context menu
nothing happens

btw: am I supposed to guess ctrl-click with absolutely no
documentation?  Even /usr/share/doc/hotssh/* is useless
from an user's POV.

Siggy

ps. I'm pissed off by not being able to provide further info by email
whatever arguments you may have.  For me bugzilla is simply unusable.
Comment 3 Siggy Brentrup 2009-07-29 17:29:54 UTC
Using RTSL I found out that hotssh imports webbrowser from hotwire.externals.

Running on Ubuntu, this mandates a dependency on hotwire, which isn't declared
in the package.

Thus this is a packaging bug, after installing the hotwire package, things
work as expected.

I'll report this to Ubuntu Launchpad, mentioning Bugzilla 590119.

This is my first and last bugreport to Bugzilla as long as you don't
implement an email interface (borough from Debian BTS).
Comment 4 Colin Walters 2009-07-29 18:31:51 UTC
That's a bug, hotssh shouldn't depend on hotwire.  Fixed:

    Bug 590119 - Unconditially import webbrowser for url opening
    
    This makes us depend on a recent version of Python, but that's
    not a big deal since hotssh is targeted for Linux.
