E.g. "VirtualBox Forums" which should navigate user to a proper webp= age. Under FreeBSD user is presented with error dialogue blaming desktop environ= ment (DE). Error occurs even if DE is fully capable of doing so (opening browser,etc.). Short description of the problem: /usr/local/bin/virtualbox shell wrapper is setting PATH variable to a very generic one excluding /usr/local/bin. Due to this browsers outside this PATH are not found. Handling URL is done by QT's QDesktopServices API. During the resolving=20 detectWebBrowser() is called: https://codebrowser.dev/qt5/qtbase/src/platformsupport/services/genericunix= /qgenericunixservices.cpp.html#_ZL16detectWebBrowserRK10QByteArraybP7QString which calls findExecutable() https://codebrowser.dev/qt5/qtbase/src/corelib/io/qstandardpaths.cpp.html#_= ZN14QStandardPaths14findExecutableERK7QStringRK11QStringList Here qgetenv("PATH") is called which is used as PATH to search executables. It makes sense to expand the PATH to include FreeBSD's standard /usr/local/= bin as that's native path for ports programs.=20 I've added the patch towards the virtualbox-ose-6.1.36. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
