With your change it open the odt file as a tar-mode file from Emacs -q.
Without your change it doesn't open it at all. BTW: My Emacs also doesn't
open html exports in Fx files when I use C-c C-e h-o. I never tried to
debug it though...

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.
