Description jb.ducharme 2018-12-10 21:11:22 UTC

SUMMARY
I recently converted from gdm3 to kde on ubuntu 18.04 and the behavior of opening a link in the console has changed. It now redirects me to the login page instead of sending me to the correct page. 

I would assume the redirect engine tries to check if the link is valid before sending me, but since it's behind a mandatory login, it fails and sends me to the login page instead.

A little of context for the steps to reproduce : the bug occurs when I'm push a git branch to our internal gitlab and I then ctrl+click on the link to do a merge request.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. modify file + commit
2. git push origin master
3. ctrl+click link

OBSERVED RESULT
Chrome opens a new tab, displaying my projects with a mention at the top "You are already logged in"


EXPECTED RESULT
Chrome opens a new tab showing the merge request


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 18.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0
Qt Version: 5.9.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The url looks like this https://gitlab.foobar.com/internal/foobar.com/merge_requests/1899

My coworkers can't reproduce the problem, which is why I think it's related to either konsole or kde. One is running Ubuntu 16.04 unity and the other 18.04 gdm3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I openned the link using gnome-terminal and it works perfectly. Only when I try to open the link throught Konsole do I get the bad behavior.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2018-12-11 18:18:51 UTC

Cannot reproduce with Konsole 18.08, the upcoming 18.12, or git master.

Can you share a screenshot of what System Settings > Applications > Default Applications > Web Browser looks like on your system?

Two more questions for you:
1. What does `grep "x-scheme-handler/http" ~/.config/mimeapps.list` show?
2. Does the problem go away if you click on "In the following application" and make sure "Google Chrome" is selected?

Comment 6 jb.ducharme 2019-01-02 15:01:31 UTC

1. Here is the result

x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop

2. No the problem remains

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2019-01-02 15:03:18 UTC

For 2, did you remember to click Apply? If so, does the problem happen if you install Firefox and make it your default browser?

Comment 8 jb.ducharme 2019-01-02 15:09:28 UTC

Hot damn! It works just fine now. 

Thanks for your help!

I'm 98% certain that I had clicked apply the first time I tried the setting, but it wasn't checked. The default suggested application was firefox now ( it was already installed, so that hasn't changed ). I selected it again and now it works. I reloaded the settings to make sure it stuck this time.

Do you have any idea as to why it behaved like that? Just a curiousity on my part.

Comment 9 Nate Graham 2019-01-02 15:13:34 UTC

Yep. Due to a bug I just fixed. :)
