Keepassxc: Open URL snap package KeePassXC in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Created on 16 Apr 2017  路  6Comments  路  Source: keepassxreboot/keepassxc

Expected Behavior

open url with the key combination: ctrl+U
choose open url within the context menu

Current Behavior

open url with the key combination: ctrl+U : nothing happens
choose open url within the context menu : nothing happens

Possible Solution

Make the key combination: ctrl+U working and also the contextmenu

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. Install snap
  2. Open or create a database
  3. The key combination ctrl+V
  4. or click on open url within the context menu

Context

Without this feature the snap version is not usable for me.
So I am using the program KeePassX 2.03 because in this program the key combination ctrl+U is working ok and also click on open url within the context menu does work

I've hit this issue too (KDE neon User Edition 5.9).

Hope this helps rather than just being noise - If I start keepassxc from a terminal and try opening a URL, it prints this error:

dbus-send: /snap/keepassxc/9/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3: version `LIBDBUS_PRIVATE_1.10.6' not found (required by dbus-send)

This is likely the same issue as issue #418 (also installed via Ubuntu Snap, no effect of the Ctrl U or right-click menu). @droidmonkey mentions in his post on March 22 to have found a potential solution (that only works for normal URLs): http://www.ktechpit.com/linux/using-xdg-open-snap-package-open-external-url/

I hit the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, keepassxc 2.1.4 installed via Snap.
I did see the same error message about LIBDBUS_PRIVATE on the console yesterday, although it's not shown anymore today.

Note that I'm also hitting the same issue with Ctrl+V for Autotype (issue #506), but that other shortcuts (such as Ctrl+B and Ctrl+C) work fine.

It's not only the shortcut that doesn't work, also right-clicking an entry and select Open URL has no effect.

I have tried the 3 potential solutions listed at the bottom of https://keepassxc.org/docs to no effect (remove the appmenu-qt5 package, set the environment variable UBUNTU_MENUPROXY='' and set the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME='')

I have upgraded form Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
With version 2.2.0 I have tested ctrl+U = open URL.
This function does strangely enough not work for me in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (unlike ctrl+V).

I confirm Ctrl + U doesn't work yet with version 2.2.0 on my Ubuntu 16.04. Running from the command line, the following is shown in the terminal at the moment the shortcut is called:
dbus-send: /snap/keepassxc/23/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3: version `LIBDBUS_PRIVATE_1.10.6' not found (required by dbus-send)
(same as what @ribbons mentioned in his post above, just updated for the newest version of the keepassxc snap)

I confirm I have this same issue on Xubuntu 16.04 and Snap package of KeepassXC 2.2.0. It works when I use the AppImage, so I'm just using that.

This will be fixed in 2.2.1 bring released this weekend
