Linux Ubuntu: 16.04 LibreOffice: 5.1.4.2 After installing LibreOffice url links with protocol vnd.sun.star.webdav aren't bound to LibreOffice. After appending libreoffice-startcenter.desktop file property MimeType with x-scheme-handler/vnd.sun.star.webdav, it starts opening url links correctly with LibreOffice.

(for instance: vnd.sun.star.webdav://example.com/webdav/my-document.odt ) Unfortunately, after installing Libreoffice on Ubuntu these URL aren't still handled correctly. Whether you click on a link in your browser or you try to open the URL from the command line with xdg-open vnd.sun.star.webdav://... you get a message saying that this protocol is unknown. What I expected was that LibreOffice would start and would open the document. A workaround is to create a Desktop file with the following informations: [Desktop Entry] Name=WebDav LibreOffice Exec=/usr/bin/libreoffice %u Type=Application Terminal=false Categories=System; MimeType=x-scheme-handler/vnd.sun.star.webdav; and then to copy it in /usr/share/applications Afterwards you have to run sudo update-desktop-database so that Ubuntu will take the new protocol into account. A more definitive solution would be to modify the libreoffice-base Desktop file that comes with libreoffice (also located in /usr/share/applications) to add the MimeType properties described above.
