I can reproduce this problem even from a Live Ubuntu 17.10 session. Here's a provisional fix for this problem: force gnome-open instead of xdg-open. This also fixes issues with texdoc, google-crhome and other KDE-apps. Here are the commands I used at the Terminal:
$ mkdir --parents ~/bin $ ln --symbolic /usr/bin/gnome-open ~/bin/xdg-open Restart your session and you are good to go (until a real fix is issued). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716470 Title: xdg-open doesn't respect gnome3 associations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/1716470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
