Emailed Links fail to start Epiphany

[johbru]

Thunderbird is my email client. Links included in emails do not open whether or not Epiphany is running. Both libstdc++5 and libstdc++6 are installed. System is a EeePC 900A Easypeasy 1.1 updated this morning, June 29, 2009 pared back substantially. Firefox was removed by the Synaptics Package Manager at the same time as Epiphany (Gecko) was installed.

Is this still a problem in easypeasy 1.5?

Have not yet installed 1.5. The Update Manager doe not find it, I
imagine. Will try to get to it soon.

I tried three times before the download of 1.5 completed. However, the
USB stick will boot but leaves me staring at an (initramfs) prompt.
There are some flashes which I cannot decipher. ./init only produces
the Ubuntu splash.

What must one enter to continue the process which I imagine leads to
either an install prompt or an X NBR screen?

Forgive my tardiness in replying. The specific problem is no longer
present in 1.5. Upgrading settings from 1.1 to 1.5 has a tendency to
create problems with the window manager as well as asus eee specific
functions don't work well. Also the touchpad tapping issue resurged and
the solution still escapes me. I did a clean re-install and manually
eliminated evolution, firefox, openoffice, etc. I then installed the
lightweight substitutes, tested Thunderbird and Epiphany, had to change
system preferences and they work together as normal. The Thunderbird
Lightning extension needs libstdc++5 to run and that requires some
experience to implement.

It seems a better release than before but as I have so many changes to
make from a basic install, I do wish for a configuration utility and the
inclusion of the asus_eee module for 2.6.30.5 kernel.
