Yeah, I just got that too -- I realized I hadn't been testing it in the
right environment, shoot.  this modification worked for me (also form the
same forum):


 (setcdr (assq 'system org-file-apps-defaults-gnu ) '(call-process
"xdg-open" nil 0 nil file))

Not sure why this should work when the default fails.  Fx opens html
exports for me with C-c C-e h-o -- also not sure why that should work and
odt fail.
