Default page is broken.

[Sivan Greenberg]

I have installed:

ii epiphany-browser 1.9.2-0ubuntu2 Intuitive GNOME web browser
ii ubuntu-artwork 0.2.27-1 Ubuntu
themes and artwork

Firing up epiphany I get:
file "/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html" not found.

it appears that this path does not exist:
pooh@tigershark ~ $ cd /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/
bash: cd: /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/: No such file or directory

Do you have kubuntu-docs installed? This looks similar to Bug #36263

Do you have ubuntu-docs installed?

If you search on packages.ubuntu.com for
"/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html" in packages' content, you get this:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%2Fusr%2Fshare%2Fubuntu-artwork%2Fhome%2Findex.html&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=breezy&arch=i386

=> "text/ubuntu-docs"

If you don't have ubuntu-docs installed, please close the bug.

I will check that when I arrive at my home machine. but, shouldn't
epiphany-browser pull in ubuntu-docs if it needs it for the default home page?

No, it gets pulled in by the standard installation and is a setting many users
change within the first minutes. Package dependencies are used to *absolutely
require* other packages, which make them work.

I get the same result with Midori browser in Ubuntu 14.04, and Xubuntu 15.04.

The package ubuntu-docs is installed.

$ apt-cache policy ubuntu-docs
ubuntu-docs:
  Installed: 14.04.5
  Candidate: 14.04.5
  Version table:
 *** 14.04.5 0

...and it Ubuntu 16.04.
