When trying to click "Help -> Steam Support" menu item, I just getting:

sh: 1: /usr/bin/xdg-open: not found

Can you first check wheter xdg-open exists, and if not show an dialog with URL to be manually copied?

Thanks.

xdg-open should exist on Ubuntu, but it won't hurt to have a fallback to sensible-browser. That works for those who don't use Gnome/Unity or KDE.

@baryluk would you mind listing your distro? xdg-open should be supported by all distros by now; is it possible you could file a bug with them too?

@johndrinkwater You know what dependencies are? Please state them in Package description. FYI: xdg-open is in package xdg-utils in Debian/Ubuntu.

Launcher version 1.0.0.62 (currently considered to be a beta, because there are quite a lot of changes since 1.0.0.61) has a Recommends on xdg-utils (except on SteamOS, which doesn't have that package). Please try https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/precise/steam-launcher_latest-beta_all.deb and report any regressions as separate issues.
