Details
Description:
I raised this bug upstream at https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/23198. It doesn't seem like anyone else is seeing this problem, so I'm starting to think that it's a problem with how Arch packages the keybase GUI. Additional info: * package version(s): keybase-gui 5.4.2-1, electron 8.2.5-1 * config and/or log files etc: logged into two keybase accounts at once. * link to upstream bug report, if any: https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/23198 Steps to reproduce: Click on any link in a message in the keybase GUI. It doesn't open a browser or anything. If you're running keybase-gui manually via a terminal, you'll see output like: > Mar 23 15:02:01 carbon electron[75612]: could not find program for '68', check your configuration |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: caused by an xdg-open replacement that doesn't seem to be handling things the way xdg-open would

Replacing it with xdg-utils again fixes opening links.
Given that linopen is not an official package in the repositories, I think this issue can be closed. It might still be worth investigating why a standalone xdg-open tool isn't enough to open links with keybase, since that's enough with lots of other link-opening programs. But that's more of an enhancement for upstream.
