I have just compiled Tasque on Slackware 12.2

The purpose is to use it to connect to Remember the Milk.

There is a Settings dialog box at the beginning. On the Remember the Milk tab it says:

However, when I click it, I get:

Tasque obviously is not reading the KDE file associations and environment variables present.

There may be a way to make Tasque aware of an available browser so that it can connect to Remember the Milk.

Thanks for reading this.

I took a look at Tasque on the gnome web page. It looks like it requires a lot of mono bindings plus GConf. So I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume that it is trying to read your browser settings from GConf.

I ran into an issue with gwibber where it couldn't open up a browser because I had upgraded firefox since I had initially installed GConf. So that may be a reason why it is not reading any browser association set in KDE. Can you report the output of this command?
Also, is your current browser version the same as the one that is in the output of the previous command? Again I'm just guessing.

Thank you, larryhaja.

Sorry for the delay to reply. I have been away from this computer for some time.
I have yet to install GConf (I missed that dependency). However, I'm having a little problem with my root partition, which is almost full.

I'll have to make some global changes and after that, I'll report.

Thanks again.

OK, the problem persisted with gconf installed, and here is the output:

bash-3.1$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command

As root, I did:

# chmod +s /usr/bin/gconftool-2

Then, as regular user, the following commands:


gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command 'firefox %s'
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/need-terminal false
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/enabled true
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command 'firefox %s'
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/need-terminal false
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/enabled true

Then:

bash-3.1$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command
However, after all this, Tasque keeps giving me the same error message.
