Okay, after having manually copied and dissected a Zoom URL for the Xth time I finally got annoyed.
I've updated the instructions from comment #27, here's a possible work- around by rebuilding the snapd sources: ``` apt-get build-dep snapd TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d) cd $TMPDIR apt-get -y source snapd sed -i 's/"http", "https", "mailto", "snap", "help"/"http", "https", "mailto", "snap", "help", "apt", "zoommtg", "slack"/' snapd-*/usersession/userd/launcher.go cd snapd-* && dch -l$(hostname) fix_missing_app_types cd .. cd snapd-* && DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck debuild -b -uc -us cd .. sudo dpkg -i snapd_*.deb sudo service snapd restart killall snap ``` Restart the client app. After that opening Zoom URLs in Chromium just works for me. What a relief. -- 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.
