Launches in Chrome and Firefox

[lasseebert]

When I use Launchy it opens the URL in both Google Chrome and in Firefox. Google Chrome is my default browser.

Below is the debug output.

The output states that my desktop environment is not found - I run Fluxbox 1.3.2 on Ubuntu 12.04.

I think this is 2 issues:

1. Launchy is not detecting fluxbox and saying so. To help fix this, can you see if there are any FLUXBOX specific environment variables or something I may be able to use to update launchy wrt fluxbox?
2. Since Launchy is unable to do something specific for fluxbox, it is defaulting to xdg-open. It would appear that xdg-open is opening the url in both browsers.

Can you attempt, from the commanline, the following line and see if it produces the same result as Launchy?

/usr/bin/xdg-open https://github.com/copiousfreetime/launchy

Thanks for the response.

1. The only fluxbox specific variable I found was $DESKTOP_SESSION which is set to fluxbox
2. Thanks for the hint. I fixed that by uninstalling Chrome and install Chrome Beta (I saw that this issue was recently fixed in Chrome). Now both xdg-open and launchy opens the URL in Chrome alone.

Perfect, good to know. I'll add a desktop environment item for fluxbox so the warning message doesn't show up normally.

Thanks for the fix :)

Sorry I took so long.

No worries, keep up the good work :)
