Suggestion for FAQ entry

Andys · 07-21-2017, 06:19 AM

Hi, just a small suggestion to save time for a few linux users.
I installed yesterday a minimal linux installation and was slowly adding programs I need. After successfully installing Calibre I bumped into 'open containing folder' problem, seems like it depends on xdg-open utility which in my centos is included in xdg-utils package.
I suggest adding a small faq entry for that since I found literally no mention of this in google, all answers were related to broken inode/directory association. I checked (alt+F2, gnome launcher), it was correctly set on my system and I spent half a hour trying to understand where the problem lies

xdg-utils being required is mentioned on the calibre linux download page.
