Public bug reported: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS Release: 20.04 (Kubuntu 20.04 Fresh Install)
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center xdg-utils: Installed: 1.1.3-2ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.1.3-2ubuntu1 3) What you expected to happen xdg-open "http://localhost:1313"; to open the default browser at http://localhost:1313 4) What happened instead A gui dialog titled 'Error -- KIO Client' pops up with the message 'Could not connect to host localhost: Connection refused.' 5) More Info I use xdg-open "http://localhost:someport"; in my bash scripts before it actually starts the service as a time saver. On older Ubuntu and other distros it would open the default browser (Firefox) with a page not found. I press reload once the service is setup and Firefox loads the page. On Kubuntu 20.04 xdg-open gets blocked if the port is not already opened. Example command: xdg-open "http://localhost:1313"; This did work on Kubuntu and Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 19.10. Currently works on Manjaro KDE with latest stable update. Worked on Fedora 31 KDE (can not remember if I tested 32). Current Manjaro package reported as: xdg-utils 1.1.3+19+g9816ebb-1 Ubuntu 20.04 not tested.
