Hi,

Title says it all really. Since update to plasma-desktop-6.2.0, some apps can't tell the desktop to open web links in default browser (firefox-bin in my case). Example affected apps are signal-desktop-bin and Netbeans (upstream distro, not from portage). It still works in Yakuake so I'm assuming the issue is limited to non-KDE apps.

I wondered if my not using plasma-meta might have me missing something I need, but I can't see anything in this list that it might be.

plasma-browser-integration is not a new package and as I understand it this is not something it's responsible for (well, I never needed it before for this).

Anyone else getting this? Any ideas? Thanks!

I'll do a bug report if need be.

Will file a bug about this this weekend.

Can anyone advise which component is supposed to be in charge of handling links across applications/desktop in this way? That would help with the report.

Please don't file a bug without having tried with plasma-meta. Also, use of gui-apps/qt6ct in Plasma is bound to cause trouble.

Both example packages you mention can be considered "special" so you should try another simple 3rd-party package to verify.

Hey, I am happy to refrain from bugposting if it's suddenly not crickets on this thread :) (I wish I knew the magic words sooner!)

I learned of the incompatibility between qt6ct and plasma already but I keep it disabled and only set export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct when running wayfire, which is where I need it. Must it not even be installed? (I see that portage says so, I'm just wondering if it's an actual necessity.)

Can you shed any light on which package above might be responsible for this functionality, when it worked in 6.1 without any of them?

Can you give an example of a non-"special" (and preferably small) app package that would be appropriate for testing?

Does "xdg-open https://forums.gentoo.org" work? You may have to manually set xdg-related mime settings for non-KDE programs to work.

xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler https

I went ahead and merged plasma-meta which has solved the problem. I think you've just supplied the "why" though.

So xdg-desktop-portal-gtk was the missing piece? What has changed that I now need this running as well as xdg-desktop-portal AND xdg-desktop-portal-kde (seriously WTF :? ) just so links can be opened? I checked and I have never had it installed before.
