I installed this extension because I wanted to open apt links clicked in Chromium with xdg-open.

I have looked at this help page but haven't been successful. How can I achieve this?

I have downloaded Google Chrome 8.0.552.215

Then i installed the suggested extension from your link.

then i went to http://www.apturl.net/ i searched for avidemux for example.

I clicked on it and it started the apt manager. No problem.

I suggest check your google chrome version which would be the only different thing.

Tested with ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and kubuntu 10.10

EDIT: Tried playdeb.net and getdeb.net. Both worked. Am using the chrome version i mention above. Let me know if you can work with this version just in case. Downloaded Google Chrome from http://www.google.com/chrome

EDIT2: Updated to 8.0.552.224. Still works. No problem here. Please confirm when you update how it went.
