Cannot open links

[qiolol]

Reviving #1 on Kubuntu 18.04. Did stuff break again?

Like that thread's OP, I have snapd-xdg-open installed, and xdg-open [url] works in a console, yet clicking any links in Discord that would normally open in the browser does nothing.

Hi me too on manjaro but later this new update work and have install no snap version and link work.
Please fix that.

Thanks

Are there any messages on the console if you launch discord in a terminal and try to click a link? Is there anything in dmesg? I'm not seeing the issue here on Ubuntu 18.04.

@popey when clicking on url

/snap/discord/66/usr/bin/xdg-open: 566: /snap/discord/66/usr/bin/xdg-open: kde-open5: not found

ah I remember now I had this same issue on my gk snap so fix was that do not ship xdg-open in the snap then the snap will use xdg-open from snapd.

Just unstage package

discord/snap/snapcraft.yaml

Line 45 in b940fbf

- xdg-utils

for fixing this issue.

@popey Same message as @mmtrt had: /snap/discord/66/usr/bin/xdg-open: 566: /snap/discord/66/usr/bin/xdg-open: kde-open5: not found

@mmtrt I do not understand your solution. Can you explain how to unstage a package?

[mmtrt]

@Krotera That solution will work only when building this snap, so if you want the fix faster then clone this repo and locally build this snap with the mentioned line removed from snapcraft.xml.

[mmtrt]

can you fix this issue with my posted solution above. cc @popey

[popey]

Ok, I have removed xdg-open via a prime step, rather than removing the entire xdg-utils package. The xdg-utils package was added because without it discord spams the terminal looking for xdg-mime. This should build shortly, so if you want to test via snap refresh discord --edge - when build 70 appears under snap info discord and let us know if that works, that would be awesome, thanks!

[mmtrt]

@popey just locally tested discord with that file removed it fixes this issue.

EDIT: Also tested rev 70 from edge its working fine no issues.

[popey]

Ok, thanks for testing! I've pushed that to stable.
