Description Ben McMonagle 2015-12-02 19:50:11 CET

Description of problem: MageiaWelcome has a button for "Chat Room" which opens an IRC client. If none is present it attempts to install hexchat.

KDE uses konversation which is installed by default but gnome has none and likely most others.

We should include hexchat in the default installation for DE's without an IRC client

Hello,
Should be already the case.
In code, I see:
            elif msg == "irc":
              irc_client = get_irc_client()
              if irc_client == "none":
                if desktop == "KDE":
                  subprocess.Popen("gurpmi konversation", shell=True)
                else:
                  subprocess.Popen("gurpmi hexchat", shell=True)
              else: os.system(irc_client)
ger_irc_client test for konversation, hexchat, xchat, xchat-gnome and quaessel.
If none is present, either konversation or hexchat will be installed, according to the DE is KDE or not.
The difference I see is that if installation is needed, the client is not launched. Should this be changed?

Chat-room link from Mageia Welcome, for: 
Mageia-6-dev1-LiveDVD-PLASMA5-x86_64-DVD.iso Mon Nov 23 16:00:00 CET 2015 
required that Konversation be installed first from Mageia Welcome [ or MCC ] before use.
for:
Mageia-6-dev1-i586-DVD.iso Sun Nov 29 21:42:03 CET 2015 LXDE 
required that Hexchat be installed first from Mageia Welcome [ or MCC ] before use.
Should they not have been installed as part of the original installation?

Perhaps I incorrectly titled the bug report?
if so, apologies.

Comment 3 Ben McMonagle 2016-01-02 23:36:24 CET

currently, even if installed, Plasma5 desktop Mageia Welcome Chat Room default launches to Hexchat instead of Konversation

Comment 4 Samuel Verschelde 2016-01-11 08:35:39 CET

I thought now we install quassel by default instead of konversation.

Also, I think mageiawelcome should use xdg stuff to open in the default client rather than use such an arbitraty choice algorithm.

Reassigning to MageiaWelcome developer, first.
