Hi, I installed the chromium snap and it's not able to open the locally installed winehq.org compatible Roblox! This is a super huge deal IMHO because having Roblox on Linux is very awesome for the Pipeline of Linux users(the Children) who love to play that game!
Roblox.com (the great creative game for the Children) games only work from the browser-based "Play" button for each game so since xdg-mime / xdg-open for roblox-player cannot be called from the snap based chromium, it breaks roblox. Roblox.com can be installed on Ubuntu / Linux in winehq.org or to make it easier - with Grapejuice https://brinkervii.gitlab.io/grapejuice/docs/ or even Malik's wrapper at https://github.com/msmalik681/Maliks-Linux-Roblox-Wrapper Some people are saying to install chromium "from the repo" but that apparently is not an option any more in Ubuntu - it has to come from snap. Does anyone have a good workaround to setup the whitelist to allow these to work with snap chromium? # add my roblox launcher to xdg list. xdg-mime default "roblox-malik.desktop" x-scheme-handler/roblox-player # add my roblox studio launcher to xdg list. xdg-mime default "roblox-studio-malik.desktop" x-scheme-handler/roblox-studio xdg-mime default "roblox-studio-malik.desktop" application/x-roblox-rbxl xdg-mime default "roblox-studio-malik.desktop" application/x-roblox-rbxlx Thanks! -- 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.
