Midori Browser

[newtusmaximus]

Just installed Mint 13Maya. Tried to download Midori from synaptic route. Downloaded OK but on opening
Error - file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html
The page 'file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html' couldn't be loaded.
Error opening file: No such file or directory.

Any ideas please. TIA

looks like Midori just tries to access a local file of your installation which is not there.

Just type in a URL directly, e.g.
linuxmint.com

It's probably working just fine.

Cheers!

Sorry Riko.
Type that into Terminal?
Tks

Nope, just type the address into the field of the midori browser.

Or in the terminal type:

Code: Select all

> midori http://linuxmint.com

[newtusmaximus]

> midori http://linuxmint.com
into terminal comes back- bash: http://linuxmint.com: No such file or directory

How strange! Works fine here without a problem; alas at the moment I'm not booted into Mint. Try to set the URL in ""

Code: Select all

midori "http://linuxmint.com"

[Riko]

> midori http://linuxmint.com

You are not supposed to type the ">"!!! That is just the command prompt for me, so type only this:

Code: Select all

midori http://linuxmint.com

It's midori's default HOME page selection

Just go to any web site in the address bar and then open menu (Midori) ->preferences>change entry for Ubuntu to the home page you prefer eg www.duckduckgo.com

The next time you start it won't produce that error..
