Ubuntu – Open magnet links from Chrome into KTorrent

google-chromekdektorrentkubuntuxdg-open

I'm trying to open magnet links from Chrome into KTorrent 4.3.1 on Kubuntu 13.10.

The problem is that after i click the link, a new notification appears. It says "Examining magnet://…" and will run forever without any result. I can stop the examination manually but it doesn't change anything.

The link won't get into KTorrent.

I followed this guide: https://askubuntu.com/a/133693/128252 , but it didn't change anything.

Best Answer

Just add x-scheme-handler/magnet=kde4-ktorrent.desktop to the bottom of /usr/share/applications/defaults.list.

I didn't have to restart anything for it to work.
