Launching KSPLauncher (Kerbal space program) everything works smoothly except this ...

every time I want to open some web links I see jumping firefox icon near my cursor for 3 seconds then nothing happening

Each attempt spawns such log (using `journalctl -xef`)

Is there any way to see what was passed inside this job?

Ok seems like it is a wine64 prefix "feature" xD because on wine32 prefix winebrowser runs perfectly ...

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine winebrowser https://www.google.com/
# open url in default browser SUCCESS =)

WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine "C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe" "https://google.com"
# same behavior as was described in this question -- FAIL, dies silently =(

anyway you could resolve this with some workarounds on win64 prefix like these:

temporary easy solution 1 which I'm using now == "gvim stdin text buffer"

  1. download && install gVIM

  2. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command

    • key: (Default)

      • string: cmd.exe /c echo %1 | "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim90\gvim.exe" -

  3. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command

    • key: (Default)

      • string: cmd.exe /c echo %1 | "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim90\gvim.exe" -

  4. launch app, click on button -> you'll see gvim window with a url, double click, right click, copy & paste in your browser, close gvim

idea for better solution 2 == "watchdog script"

  1. save stdin to some links.txt from http && https regedit shell\open\command (via gVim or notepade.exe like in the first solution)

  2. implement script on some programming language (python? go? etc) which should watch links.txt changes and do subprocess call on '\r\n' which will launch your browser with url == previous line

Cheers && be safe && let the Wine be with you xD

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
