The same as using C-c C-e l o
"The default PDF program (okular) appears to open (i see the icon, but not
the window) and closes without showing anything."
If I do

$ xdg-open ./doc/lispintro/cons-2.pdf

after `M-x shell', "Document Viewer" is opened as normal.

You don't get any output from xdg-open or anything in the shell buffer?

I think Emacs should have a PROBLEMS entry about this.
Yeah, calling xdg-open (and expecting it not to exit) is a known
problem, but here it seems that xdg-open doesn't even work from *shell*,
which is very odd.


I have no more ideas.
The problem arise even exporting and opening html, so it's not the file type.

Doing a better search I found this:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/xdg-open-or-kde-open-doesnt-work-when-called-from-emacs/39918

Same problem, but without an answer.

If needed I can make a video of what happen (if so please explain where to upload it).
