BOINC Manager for Debian ======================== This README file discusses some topics that are specific to Debian's version of the BOINC Manager. Additional information is available on the Debian Wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/BOINC Setting the default web browser ------------------------------- Debian's BOINC Manager uses a more reliable way to determine the web browser by using the sensible-browser (1) program. Its man page suggests to set the BROWSER environment variable to teach what browser to open. For a system-wide change of the default web browser, run as root: % update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser and select your favorite. Admittedly, the line one should think to be $ update-alternatives --config x-www-browser and maybe you want to configure both. If this does not work, set the alternative manually along the following lines: $ for i in iceweasel firefox chromium-browser; do if [ -x /usr/bin/$i ]; then update-alternatives --set gnome-www-browser $i break fi done
