pointla.blogg.se - Magnet uri

running from the shell also opens transmission (not deluge): xdg-open "magnet:?xt=urn:bt.&tr= My current URL handlers are: $ gconftool -a /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet.

I uninstalled transmission, and then basically nothing happened when clicking on torrent/magnet links.

Not using Firefox, so manually setting apps for mime-types or extensions doesn't work (that's not an option in chrome/chromium, AFAIK - you have to rely on the OS).

But not many people seem to be running into this problem, so. The newer threads seem to suggest xdg-open is to blame.

I found some old threads on this issue, and only a one or two newer ones.

(And, there also doesn't seem to be a "default application" setting for BitTorrent client to replace transmission w/ deluge.)

There doesn't seem to be a way to set deluge to be the default torrent client. Rather, now only transmission will automatically open torrents, magnet links, etc. of the form " magnet:?xt=urn.", are now the only problem. (Edit: currently ".torrent" files are not a problem, but magnet URL's, e.g. After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) from 10.10, I can no longer open magnet (torrent) links in Chromium, and set deluge to automatically open and accept the URL.
