It seems xdg-open, gio-open is not working with magnet link? Here’s the output. It says ‘ipcinterface:220 No such file: /home/yding/magnet:/?..’, but it’s URL not a local file. The magnet url was modified by xdg-open and gio open. It inserted ‘/home/yding/’ into the url.
Oh my! new users only 2 links in the post…
