I would like to know the terminal commands to add new custom browser to Preferred Applications?
I don't mean selecting a browser using:
sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser
I would appreciate it if someone could help me with the following:
What are the Terminal Commands to add a NEW custom browser to Preferred Applications?
I would like links in other files to work as well, for example, when I click on a link in a .pdf
, I am currently getting the following error:
Failed to execute child process "/opt/iron-linux-32/iron" (No such file or directory)
I also tried:
$ /usr/share/iron/iron
Failed to execute child process "/usr/share/iron/iron" (Permission denied)
It also failed when I elevated permission.
I have tried:
sudo gnome-default-applications-properties
Then, in the "Command" box entered:
/opt/iron-linux-32/iron %s
(with and without the %s
)
I have also tried:
/usr/share/iron/iron %s
I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I want to use SRWare Iron.
Note: There might be an issue as well with privileges.
I am using this as an opportunity to learn how to use the command line, and am really stuck. Seems like it should be possible, but I might be getting stuck on syntax.
