no installed apps can open x-scheme-handler/logos4 type - elementary os 8 #419
Description
When trying to sign in to logos, after entering my username, password and then clicking on Authorize, I get the message, "no installed apps can open x-scheme-handler/logos4 type"
I found the following and will see if that fixes the issue:
The error "no installed apps can open x-scheme-handler/logos4 type" indicates that the system does not have an application registered to handle the logos4 URL scheme. This issue is similar to other reported problems with custom or unknown URL schemes, such as zoommtg, gemini, or ssh, where the system fails to recognize the protocol and cannot launch the appropriate application.
To resolve this issue, you need to register an application to handle the x-scheme-handler/logos4 protocol. This typically involves creating or modifying a .desktop file that specifies the application to be used for this protocol. For example, you can create a file like logos4.desktop with the following content:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Logos4 Handler
Exec=/path/to/your/application %u
Type=Application
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/logos4;
After creating this file, place it in ~/.local/share/applications/ or /usr/local/share/applications/, and then update the desktop database using the command update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications.
If the issue persists, it may be necessary to check the system's MIME type configuration, ensure that the .desktop file is correctly formatted, and verify that the application specified in the Exec field is properly installed and executable. Additionally, some desktop environments or window managers may require specific configurations or additional steps to recognize custom URL handlers.
