Description Manuel Hiebel 2021-01-28 20:34:16 CET

Description of problem:
On the gnome iso, as IRC client there is Polori and Hexchat
Can we remove hexchat ?


PS: On the XFCE and Gnome iso there is also empathy for IRC but it needs much more config before using it.

Comment 1 Martin Whitaker 2021-01-28 20:58:14 CET

hexchat was added due to bug 15399. Does MageiaWelcome still require an IRC client, and if so, will it use Polari?

Comment 2 Manuel Hiebel 2021-01-28 21:39:43 CET

didn't know for the above bug, indeed mageiawelcome contains a "chat room" link that goes to the #mageia channel.

I tried after removing hexchat from live, and even if polari is correctly set to open the irc:// url it dosn't work well.

I will close this as wontfix, sorry for the noise

Mageiawelcome stil has a link for IRC.
For that, it launches the command:
 xdg-open irc://irc.freenode.net/#mageia
or another channel if the link has been translated.
Mageiawelcome does't claim any specific client.
See also bug 19346
I don't know which mechanism xdg-open uses to select the corresponding application.
