GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 753988
"Open Link" doesn't work under wayland
Last modified: 2015-11-30 16:01:34 UTC
I'm not sure whats going wrong here, but using that menu item doesn't have the desired effect in a wayland session.
Hmm. If someting goes wrong with opening the link, it's supposed to show a dialogue with an error message. You don't get that dialogue? Since it's just using gtk_show_uri() behind the scenes, does a simple test programme (or the links in the about dialogue) have the same problem? Maybe some problem in the environment (missing/wrong env var?), but since g-t-server itself runs with that environment, maybe not… check "strings /proc/$(pidof gnome-terminal-server)/environ" for anything obvious? Or maybe to do with gdkapplaunchcontext-wayland.c being rather stub-y ?
I suspect that it may be fallout from the app-id changes in wayland. Probably on the gtk side, anyway. Moving it over.
Not sure what changed, but WFM with current 3.18.x.

F23, but with 3.18.x built from jhbuild. Chrome (not Chromium) as the browser.
Are you running latest glib releases? If no you could be running into https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1261672
Yeah, seems is working ok now since GLib 2.46.2 Actually, the commit that fixed the bug you mentioned has been merged between betwenn 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 ( https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?h=glib-2-46&id=24a4b33ffe7f4ef3487316e85060dd37b907941d ), so seems it was related Matthias; ok to close this?
