Failed to execute child process “xdg-open” | Fresh Arch/Cinnamon insta

The error is my logs is:

failed:: Failed to execute child process “xdg-open” (No such file or directory)

It happens whenever you try to click a URL link outside of the browser like help pages in the cinnamon OS or links sent from people in Discord.

Is this a package bug with Arch or have I missed something?

Thanks

Thanks buddy! its working now.

I did re-install xdg-utils and also ran what you put and it seems to have fixed it. Not sure if I fixed it or what you posted did
