Slack fails to open links in Ubuntu 14.04
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Any time I try to open a link from Slack, all I get is a blank new window opening in Chrome. Worth reinstalling, or do others have this problem?

I'm on fresh Ubuntu/Chrome/Slack and links were opening blank tabs in Chrome. This AskUbuntu answer worked for me:
Open file:
$HOME/.local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop
Find the line:
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/chrome
Add a space and
%U:
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/chrome %U
Then save the file.

Particularly, forgetting the argument is an easy mistake to make when creating your own desktop files, so this was exactly what I needed.

To get into the slack I just run slack command in commandline with the magic link as argument.
