Bug 18914

upgraded Mga5 x86_64 (6DE in1) to Mga6-sta1.

Hexchat is default for "chat room" link, Mageia Welcome.

there is an inconsistency that should be addressed

Summary: [6sta1]Migration bug: After upgrading Mga5 to Mga6, Polari set as default IRC client => [6sta1]Migration bug: After upgrading Mga5 to Mga6 (i586), Polari set as default IRC client

This report confuses me.

Apart from that, I don't think it is a problem if the chatroom link in MageiaWelcome seems inconsistent about which chat client it starts, as long as it does correctly start one.

However, I'll let the MageiaWelcome author decide whether he thinks this is bad for MageiaWelcome.

This report confuses me too. Can you rephrase it? I don't understand whether it's Polari or Hexchat that gets started by default from MageiaWelcome, as well as I don't know if that's specific to MageiaWelcome. Can you also check what client is started for irc:// URLs?

Mageia Welcome "chat room" link in Mate, Cinnamon, LXDE and Xfce (under M5) would launch Hexchat, when installed in a multiple DE environment.
this has not changed.

Mageia Welcome "chat room" link in Gnome (in M5) would have launched Polari,
Mageia Welcome "chat room" link in KDE4 (in M5) would have launched Konversation,
even when installed in a multiple DE environment.

in the upgrade from Mga5 (6in1)i586 to Mga6 sta-1 Polari was default IRC client when launching from  Mageia Welcome "chat room" link, when launched from XFCE, LXDE, Mate, Cinnamon, Gnome or Plasma5


have just completed an upgrade of Mga5 (6in1)x86-64 to Mga6 RC(rnd1)

in this upgrade, Hexchat is the default IRC client when launching from  Mageia Welcome "chat room" link, when launched from XFCE, LXDE, Mate, Cinnamon, Gnome or Plasma5

for clarity:

Under MGA6 default IRCC when invoking "chat room" link from Mageia Welcome: 

plasma5 DE only install: IRCC is konversation, 
Gnome DE only install: IRCC is Polari
Mate, Xfce, Cinnamon or LXDE DE only installs: IRCC is Hexchat

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the feedback. 

It seems you missed part of Samuel's reply:

Can you still check that, please?
The easiest way to do that, is to just click on:
irc://irc.freenode.net/#mageia

or on a link to one of our other IRC channels here:
