Vivaldi will not open Zoho Mail when I click a email link

DoctorG

@CummingCowGirl I do not know how your Arch protects access, but you should check for apparmor and other messages in Linux syslog related to Zoho app and Vivaldi.

That is all i can do for you. I am out of ideas and have no Arch Linux with KDE on my VM now.

Perhaps @BlackIkeEagle can help you more.

@CummingCowGirl Is there any reason behind not following the K.I.S.S principle of Arch by installing that zoho mail client from the AUR and instead torturing yourself with all kind of different weird (webcatalog) and complex (appimages) methods?

Because AUR is a last resort as it should be. That said Zoho themselves creates the Appimage and thus recommends using it. The AUR version is copied straight out of the Appimage version. As for using either WebCatalog or the Appimage nothing weird or different about them, anything anymore complex than the AUR is because it has to be built and then installed.

Arch certainly does not say so.

The AUR version is copied straight out of the Appimage version.

Wrong info you have there (again), if you check the PKGBUILD it contains

source=(
	"https://downloads.zohocdn.com/zmail-desktop/linux/${pkgname}-lite-installer-x64-v${pkgver}.deb"

so it gets the Debian version of it directly from Zoho.

@CummingCowGirl Please tone down your language.

It's generally not a good idea to be rude to people trying to help you. Not in real life, not on web forums.

The Vivaldi Community Code of Conduct states:
Don’t insult or use unfriendly language, including ALL CAPS.

If you keep up the rude language use, we have no choice but to give you a vacation.

P.S. hey when you will see this with a different browser or when you will forget logging in one time, I wish you good luck in your further endeavours and... patience to everyone else

@DoctorG OK just tested the AUR version and same behavior, so looks like it does have something to do with Chrome based browsers.

@DoctorG I just tested the AUR version and everything works fine:

DoctorG

@CummingCowGirl Does the Zoho client needs extra app permissions like a Snap/Flatpak (i remember such had to be done for GNOME)?

And you not answer my hint to check your Linux syslog about error messages appearing when KIO fails to start Zoho app. Any messages related to vivaldi? Any messages related to apparmor?

@DoctorG It's Weihnachten-time so I'm feeling cozy and helpful these days ,if you pay attention to the moderator-warning towards CummingCowGirl above, she got it because of this message towards @mib2berlin who she blocked in the end, so she can't see @mib2berlin 's solution above

This is a user forum, the developer don't read here usually.
In my opinion, it is not the job of the Vivaldi developers to repair broken Chrome extensions.

You like to make stuff up as you go don't you? Do not answer thas since we both know the answer is YES. You and I both know that this could of been something with Vivaldi and not the extensions. Now as for the devs we both know they are on here constantly, and have addressed more issues on here than either one of us can count. It takes alot of never to delibrately BS someone and think you'll get away with it. Do not bother to reply cause you have already been BLOCKED.

@DoctorG Just checked /var/log/ and there is no syslog file.

DoctorG

@CummingCowGirl Ah, ok.

Try journalctl | grep -i vivaldi
