Help->Ubuntu Book Excerpt Opens In Audacity

[Lukas Sabota]

I'm running the latest Dapper x86. When I open Ubuntu book excerpt, it opens in audacity (a sound editor installed from universe). I am ready and willing to provide any more information.

Thanks for your bug. What does "gnome-open file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales-ubuntu/index-C.html" do for you?

Note that the changelog mentions:

" - the "Ubuntu Book Excerpt" item points to the firefox startup page
      for now, that's not a bug, it'll be updated before dapper"

gnome-open file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales-ubuntu/index-C.html opens that page in Audacity. Strange, as audacity is not associated with html files in any way.

what does "ls -l /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/firefox-index.html" and "gnomevfs-info /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/firefox-index.html" say about that?

Strange.. Everything seems normal...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could you do the same on "/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales-ubuntu/index-C.html" ?

[Lukas Sabota (punkrockguy318)]

Interesting, all seems normal...

Now this seems to work fine and open up the firefox startup page. Closing. Odd.
