Teams error while loading xdg-open

Hi,
I need to use teams for school. One on one (a call) works, several works as well. When a link is given to join a meeting, I get asked (by chromium, of course) to open xdg-open, I confirm and get this error.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Melissa

Hi @ButterflyMelissa,

Can you kingly post the output of

cat ~/.config/mimeapps.list | grep teams

Not angrily, kindly.

if all else fails it usually works in the browser

Obviously not in Chromium. :point_up:

Hi there…
One strong well-meant morning hug for you :hugs:

cat ~/.config/mimeapps.list | grep teams
Gives nothing back…
However, inquisitive as I am, I dove into the folder head on (with snorkle) and did find the file:

I have to use chomium. I did try xdg-open in the console (after I set cromium as default) and I had an error similar to what ff gives…

That is important.

Can you post the output of:

sudo find / -type f -name 'teams.desktop'

Got to make sure it’s there, ya know?

Can you give, PM me if neccessary, an example of the URL?

Happy to learn new things… :wink:
And nothing was found…

gladly, let me dig it up…

Thank :grin:

Perhaps not for some - but whenever Teams fails on me - it never fails (for me) in Chromium - I would suggest rebuilding the package from AUR. It also seemed that op chose the option to open the App on her computer (possibly from a calendar link) and not the browser version (Run in Browser). But it’s good to see the issue has been resolved.

I’m not using MS Teams at all, so I don’t know if this will be of any help.

If you have installed the package teams-for-linux from the AUR, try adding this line in your ~/.config/mimeapps.list file under the [Default Applications] section:

x-scheme-handler/msteams=teams-for-linux.desktop;

If the above doesn’t work right away, try the suggestion in this comment of the AUR page of the said package.
Instead of editing the file /usr/share/applications/teams-for-linux.desktop, you can copy it in your home directory in ~/.local/share/applications and edit it there.


If nothing of the above worked, or in case I have misunderstood this thread, revert any changes you made in your system.
