Setting default browser: no such file or directory

[pmb]

i am having difficulty setting the default browser to vieb. I see this message

i have mx linux with xfce on another machine and it works fine setting the default as vieb. Above i was trying to point to vieb in /usr/bin, before this i simply had: vieb “%s”. It seems to find vieb because it shows the icon, as follows

Does it run from a terminal:

vieb or /usr/bin/vieb

?

How about /opt/Vieb/vieb?

Thanks for replying.

/opt/Vieb/vieb works from the command line. I hand’t tried that previously. Strangely vieb is recognised on the command line but doesn’t run (i use zsh syntax highlighting which recognises commands). Should i try using /opt/Vieb/vieb in the default applications menu?

@pmb

Should i try using /opt/Vieb/vieb in the default applications menu?

You could try that and see if it works.

Having had a quick look at the PKGBUILD for this application, /usr/bin/vieb seems to be just a symlink to /opt/Vieb/vieb.

excellent, it works I put /opt/Vieb/vieb “%s”
