On Linux: Firefox not found ->help menu

Postby berndnoetscher » Tue Mar 04, 2008 10:03 am

Jon Riper told me about a problem using kbasic on Linux.

Kbasic uses the Qt command openUrl
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qdesktopse ... ml#openUrl

to show up the documentation and help. But it failed on his system. So here is his workaround:


> Help problem solved: I noticed the error message "Firefox not found," the
> Firefox started with upper case. Filenames in Unix are all lower case by
> convention and case sensitive; you can use upper or mixed case but to
> access it, you have to be right. I checked my /usr/bin directory the
> link "firefox" was lower case. I created another link "Firefox" --
> problem solved; it now works like a charm. Of the 1666 files in my
> /usr/bin directory.

Thanks Jon!
