Hi,
Now that Firefox is directly available from a Wheezy repository I
recently decided to replace Iceweasel with Firefox-esr. Once I had the
latter up and running I deleted the former.
When I next tried to open an html file from Dolphin I received the
TDEInit failure message: "TDEInit could not launch 'Iceweasel'. Could
not find 'Iceweasel' executable."
I did an online search for information about TDEInit and found that
others had problems with it, and the problems had to do with something
called 'binutils' I think. My knowledge of information technology is
unfortunately insufficient to allow me to understand the information I
found.
Could someone please tell me what I need to do to replace 'Iceweasel'
with Firefox-esr so I can open html files in 'Firefox-esr" from Dolphin.
Regards, Ken Heard

Hello Ken,
start kcontrol and select in the tree view the following:
"TDE Components" -> "Default Application"
and then on the right side you will find a list view; select "Web Browser".
Now you are able to select the default Web Browser for TDE and you can
investigate if the problem is system-wide, or affects only TDE.
If the problem is system-wide, then run under root privilegs:
update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
and select your desired browser as default.
Kind Regards,
Richard

You could also use kwriteconfig from command line.
$ kwriteconfig --file kdeglobals --group
General --key 'BrowserApplication' '!firefox-esr'
unfortunately i have no clue what dcop signal needs to be send to reload the
config.

It is me again ;-)
kcontrol enables shell expansion for this configuration entry, so the key is
followed by [$e] and i have no clue how to enable shell expansion with
kwriteconfig.
If you may ask what the exclamation mark is for:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/104958/what-does-an-exclamation-mar…
"The exclamation mark for the BrowserApplication entry in kdeglobalsrc is used
to distinguish between an actual binary name to be executed for launching the
browser or the name of a browser's *.desktop file."
...uh... i'm late ... need to drive to hungary... maybe i have later more
time...

Hello Richard,
First, let me apologize to you for not mentioning in my original post
that after I moved my default browser from iceweasel to firefox-esr, and
deleted from my Wheezy computer iceweasel, I made both the changes
you mentioned in your first post to me. If I had done so you would not
have been put to the trouble of explaining them to me.
Running the command in your second post as my user, "kwriteconfig
- --file kdeglobals --group General --key 'BrowserApplication'
'!firefox-esr'" -- all on one line of course without the double quotes
- -- seemed to be accepted by the computer. Since I too do not know the
dcop signal to reload the config, I simply rebooted the computer. I
found that it did work. Thank you for your providing me with that
solution.
Between the time of my original post and of your answers I thought of
another solution, simply create in /usr/bin the following link "ln -s
firefox-esr iceweasel". That solution also worked; but your solution
is better; so I reverted to it once I knew it would work -- although
with an incomplete understanding of how or why!

In Kontrolcenter you have standard programs, where you can configure web
browser. This setting is saved in the tde config. With the command provided
by Richard, you wrote your setting directly in the config.
Each time tde has to open URL it would use the program configured there.

After looking at the kwriteconfig man page, finding and then opening
the file named in the command Richard gave me,
~/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals, I find that it has some 370 lines
each one of which contains a variable and the current option selected
for it. It is presumably here, or in other similar files in that
config directory, where all the options selectable in the Trinity
Control Centre -- and much else besides -- are stored.
One of these variables is Browser Application where the selected
option is now !firefox-ecr, which I had to change from iceweasel using
the kwriteconfig command as Richard suggested. The trinity control
centre however provides for changing the default browser, in TDE
Components-> Default Applications -> Web Browser.
In my original post I mentioned that when I changed browsers from
Iceweasel to Firefox-esr I also changed accordingly the option in Web
Browser; but the change had no effect. I now wonder what purpose that
option in the Control Centre really serves.
Regards, Ken

This should work perfectly fine. Please double check.
