Public bug reported: This is something we might want to fix to help people who build snaps based on Focal's Qt.
The QGenericUnixServices implementation of openUrl() passes an O_PATH file descriptor to xdg-desktop-portal when it detects it is running under snap confinement. This is rejected because xdg-desktop-portal expects an O_RDONLY file descriptor, leading to the operation failing. More details are available in the upstream bug report I filed: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-83939 This originated from a report on the Snapcraft forum here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/xdg-open-or-gvfs-open-qdesktopservices- openurl-file-somelocation-file-txt-wont-open-the-file/16824?u=jamesh ** Affects: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876237 Title: QDesktopServices::openUrl() fails when called on local files from within a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtbase-opensource-src/+bug/1876237/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
