hi, Description of problem: On XFCE, when you look description of software, you has url, when you click for open link, there is error message Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Rpmdrake 5.26.10 Chromium is only and set by default browser How reproducible: Look description software, click link detail of description
Created attachment 966 [details] error message
The URL for numlock is wrong. I don't speak french(?) so I don't know what the error msg is exactly saying, but does this happen to every pkg or just for numlock?

To be more precise, the message says: "impossible to start the default browser : I/O error".

Well, when you click on a link in rpmdrake, your browser starts as root. I suppose the rest is the same as in cauldron, where chromium refuses to be run as root, which, IMHO, is a good thing. When (in cauldron, I don't have chromium in 1) I go to my konsole, login as root, and do # chromium-browser I get a message, ending with the words: Startup refusing to run as root. and a pop-up "Chromium cannot be run as root. Please start Chromium as a normal user. To run as root, you must specify an alternative -user-data-dir for storage of profile information" I think it is better to start any browser as a normal user, and copy + paste the link, than to start your browser as root. I'll cc the maintainers of chromium-browser and of rpmdrake, in case they don't agree with me and want this to be fixed :).

This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
