Yeah that opened a browser thanks. I've had little to no luck with the QUrl or QDesktopServices.

Well then the problem must be with the URL because that's what QDesktopServices does behind the scenes. Make sure the link contains the scheme as I mentioned.

Qt Code:

Switch view

QDesktopServices::openUrl ( QUrl ( "http://www.google.com" ) );

QDesktopServices::openUrl ( QUrl ( "http://www.google.com" ) );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Its something with my GCofig

this is the dbug-output

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: '=' character not found or has no value following it)

not sure what it is looking into it.

sorry asafb I'm not trying to hijack your post.
