I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. As the title says, when prompt to "xdg open" on Zoom (chromium browser), nothing happens and I can't do a conference call. Does anyone know what might be the issue? I've came across this issue in another websites as well.
I've recently found here a solution to my problem, but I can't completely understand what everything in this command means:
xdg-open "$@">/dev/null 2>&1
I tried to open all my .mp3 files from a folder using xdg-open but I found out it opens just one! So I searched a little but there was not such a question! I found "evince" but apparently it open text files and gnome-open also opens one file.
I want to open all files of the same format in a folder from the terminal. I'm new to Ubuntu so please explain a little more.
I want to use xdg-open to open irc:// links, how can I make the required parameter?
I have run update-alternatives as well as the GNOME Preferred apps selection thing. And all point to have the Chromium browser as the default. Yet, when I run xdg-open http://askubuntu.com, Firefox is launched! Similarly, Emacs and Bazaar (bzr) also launch stuff in Firefox instead of Chromium.
Are there any additional settings which affect xdg-open functionality?
Something is definitely broken:
Update
I have purged Firefox:
- update-alternatives - uses the Chromium browser
- sensible-browser - opens the Chromium browser
- xdg-open & gnome-open - opens using google-chrome which kindly tells me "it's not default browser"
