Can anyone help with a workaround suggestion while we're waiting for this to get fixed?
I normally manually patch package issues like this, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working in this case: ``` TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d) cd $TMPDIR apt-get -y source snapd sed -i 's/"http", "https", "mailto", "snap", "help"/"http", "https", "mailto", "snap", "help", "apt", "zoommtg", "slack"/' snapd-2.42.1+19.10/usersession/userd/launcher.go cd snapd-2.42.1+19.10 && dch -l$(hostname) fix_missing_app_types cd .. cd snapd-2.42.1+19.10$(hostname)1 && DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck debuild -b -uc -us cd .. sudo dpkg -i snapd_2.42.1+19.10$(hostname)1_amd64.deb ``` It seems to be updating /usr/bin/snap properly, but the xdg-open is still blocked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776873 Title: Whitelisted allowedURLschemes breaks some desktop apps Status in snapd: Triaged Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/7952972d4897e085030b288e44dc98b824f6723a/userd/launcher.go#L55 snapd has a hard-coded list of allowed URL schemes. Currently that is limited to "http", "https", "mailto", "snap". We have a number of applications in the store which are trying to use protocol handlers outside this scope and break when that's not possible. e.g. Telegram Desktop: tg:/ Github Desktop: git:/ IRCCloud Desktop: irc:/ These are the ones I know of, others may also be affected. Can we please at least expand the list to those that we know of, and perhaps research other popular protocol handlers? Ideally we wouldn't have a whitelist, because this delays our ability to land new applications with as-yet unknown url schemes.
