Opening an Article opens the File Browser

[dp]

Binary package hint: blam

I imported a bunch of rss feeds from an OPML file. I can see that feeds are updated and new messages are showing up. I can also see the titles of the articles. Whenever I try to view the actual article - either by pressing "n" or by clicking on the article in the upper feed view, a file browser opens at /usr/share/blam/themes/blam (or the corresponding directory when another theme is selected). The pane where the article should be displayed stays empty.

I forgot to mention: I dist-upgraded to the latest developement version prior to reporting this bug. I have not tried blam before the upgrade.

very annoying problem indeed..
same problem here, also from fresh install, apt-get install blam after erase-install of ubuntu 9.10 not yet copied back my own .gconf2/blam. so fresh to. No OPML imported, just what came with install.
Fresh installed Blam in karmic gives the same problem;

- click on any feed entry and it will not show or open a that entry but instead open a nautilus window with the following path: /usr/share/blam/themes/blam

To test i changed the theme to 'pimped', now when i click on a feed entry it opens /usr/share/blam/themes/pimped

cat /proc/version

I actually think this one should be marked critical, since blam lost it's use because of this bug.

[skipx (bartok)]

Nobody using Blam??

[Riot777 (riot777)]

I have exact the same problem, this makes Blam totally unusable.

[Riot777 (riot777)]

There is new version of Blam available 1.8.7, maybe in newer version this bug is fixed.

[skipx (bartok)]

It's just a very weird bug! Curious what goes wrong.. Still not being able to use Blam :'(

[daniele80 (daniele80)]

this bug affects me too.
Blam is unusable :(

[Luciano Galicki (lgalicki)]

Impossible to use Blam! here with karmic. I'm being forced to use another reader.

[daniele80 (daniele80)]

does it work on Lucid Lynx beta?

[Riot777 (riot777)]

This bug is still present in Lucid Lynx LTS final version.

[Susan Calvin (crap-thzantis)]

So, liferea is slow and/or crashing and blam is unusable... What is this Ubuntu?

[Riot777 (riot777)]

Also present in newest release of Ubuntu Linux 10.4.1

This bug affects me too, it makes Blam completely unusable.
