I have noticed that upon clicking on a link in a Skype’s IM chat nothing happens. Decided to investigate. Figured out that there is a error message:
QWidget: Cannot create a QWidget when no GUI is being used
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 513: 3718 Aborted kde-open –noninteractive “$1”
Decided to mess around with it.
The solution:
Open file /usr/bin/xdg-open as root.
su -c "mcedit /usr/bin/xdg-open:515"
Edit the line from:
kde-open --noninteractive "$1"
so it looks like this:
kde-open "$1"
Save the file (F2) close the mcedit (F10).
Click on the link in the Skype’s IM now. It should open the content of the link in a new tab in Your default browser.
Cheers.
