Cool VL Viewer forum

On both Cool VL Viewer 1.26.4 (18) and previously Cool VL Viewer 1.26.4 (17) Kubuntu 11.10 64 bit when clicking on a slurl in firefox causes a second onstance of the viewer to open. That in turn sends a teleport window to the already open viewer that if used gets spammed infinately producing the following output in the terminal.

thist happens when I pick the cool_vl_viewer* or the launch_url.sh* as the application that Firefox will use to handle surls. Other options are not accepted by Firefox.

That behaviour only stops when I close the first instance with Ctrl C (choosing exit or closing the window will leave the program in quitting stage) and login on the 2nd instance.

I was under the impression that a slurl should just be passed to the client give me the option to teleport and be done with it.

I have been searching google for a few days now but no luck so far..

Suggestsions would be welcome.

The script to associate with SLURLs in Firefox is handle_secondlifeprotocol.sh and not cool_vl_viewer neither launch_url.sh. Normally, the handler should be registered automatically when you launch the viewer with cool_vl_viewer, which calls register_secondlifeprotocol.sh. The registering should work with both Gnome and KDE, but maybe changes occurred in recent versions of the latter... In any case, it works just fine for me, on Mandriva 2010.2 under Gnome v2.30.
