Clean install of Kubuntu 11.10, installed Tomboy. When click on 'Connet to Server' button get 'Set the default browser and try again' error. Default brower is set to Rekonq.

/usr/bin/tomboy
Kubuntu 11.10
tomboy 1.8.0-lubuntu1
I expected the browser to open up so I can finish setting up the sync installation with Ubuntu One when I click on the Connect to Server button.
Instead I get the error message.

Same problem with Firefox as default browser.

I'm using Kubuntu 11.10 also and no matter what browser I set to default it still says the same "set default browser and try again".
Please help :)

Hey, I had the same problem with Kubuntu 11.10 and firefox. It wouldn't kept saying "set default browser and try again" when firefox was set as the default browser.

So I went ahead and installed Chrome (actuall chrome, not the chromium package, but I don't know if it matters) and clicked "set as default browser" when it came up and tried it again.
Chrome took me to the UbuntuOne login and synching worked! Hooray! :)

I have chromium as the default browser and still experience the same problem.

Same here with kubuntu 12.04 and tomboy 1.10.1. Any idea??
