I am frustrated, under Ubuntu 22.04 it is not possible to pipe the output of `PlotlyJS` to the default web-browser. Today I found the advice to edit the Gtk-configuration file `settings.ini` in the following forum thread: [getting-failed-to-load-module-colorreload-gtk-module-when-starting-gtk-apps](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/getting-failed-to-load-module-colorreload-gtk-module-when-starting-gtk-apps-from-terminal/19102/4)  
Are there other ideas around?

To clarify: do you just need to see PlotlyJS in a web browser, or do you want to fix the error itself?

I would like that the plot is displayed in a web-browser, this works perfect under MS-Windows, but on ubuntu it fails.

Ok. How are you piping the output of `PlotlyJS` to the web browser in WIndows?

Two options:

- Single Line execution
- PlotlyJS.display(plt\_obj\_handle)

</div>

as a workaround on Ubuntu you may use `plotly.express` via `PyCall`, this works:

```julia
using PyCall
px = pyimport("plotly.express")
fig = px.scatter(x=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4], y=[0, 1, 4, 9, 16])
fig.show()

```

The graph is displayed without error message in the default web-browser.

if you see under `kubuntu` the message:

```julia
kf.service.services: KApplicationTrader: mimeType "x-scheme-handler/file" not found

```

you may edit the file `~/.config/mimeapps.list` and add the following line in the subsections of this file:

```julia
[Added Associations]
...
x-scheme-handler/file=org.kde.dolphin.desktop;
...
[Default Applications]
...
x-scheme-handler/file=org.kde.dolphin.desktop;

```

source: [kf.service.services: KApplicationTrader: mimeType “x-scheme-handler/file” not found](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442721)  
At least this error is removed by this. but the plot is still not displayed ☹
