Copy of text also here: There is xdg-open bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92440) which seems to be fixed in xdg-utils 1.1.0 rc2 and newer - it seems that Ubuntu 15.10 will have rc3. Older Ubuntu versions (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xdg-utils&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all) do have still rc1 with that xdg-open bug. Could not find any PPA either to upgrade xdg-utils in existing and yet supported releases. Would kindly ask any feedback whether there are any plans to backport fixed xdg-utils into older Ubuntu releases? Mentioned questions has been posted also here - http://askubuntu.com/questions/684650/xdg-utils-backporting At least supported versions of Ubuntu (and its derivates), especially supported LTS-versions, would be expected to be backported. * * * 1) Lubuntu 14.04.3; Release 14.04 2) http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/xdg-utils $ apt-cache policy xdg-utils xdg-utils: Installled: 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu7.1 Candidate: 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu7.1 Version table: *** 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu7.1 0 500 http://ee.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu7 0 500 http://ee.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages 3) expected xdg-open will open URLs 4) nothing happened ** Affects: xdg-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1505317 Title: xdg-utils backporting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/1505317/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
