@mottenmouse Oh, i had only checked with 7.1 Stable, my fault. I will test KIO now.

Can you check: dpkg -k | grep kio
Mine is:

mottenmouse

Mine is exactly the same

DoctorG

@mottenmouse I do not know why your KIO client fails.

Can you try to reinstall KIO
sudo apt install --reinstall kde-cli-tools-data kio kio-extras kio-extras-data kio-ldap libkf5kiocore5 libkf5kiofilewidgets5 libkf5kiogui5 libkf5kiontlm5 libkf5kiowidgets5 qml-module-org-kde-kio

mottenmouse

Done.
Test with a new profil.
No success.

DoctorG

What contains your file mimeapps.list?
In Vivaldi open chrome://settings/handlers
Any entries?

@mottenmouse said in mailto: error:

x-scheme-handler/mailto=vivaldi-snapshot.desktop;org.kde.kmail2.desktop;vivaldi-stable.desktop;

Edit file
set x-scheme-handler/mailto=vivaldi-snapshot.desktop;org.kde.kmail2.desktop;vivaldi-stable.desktop;
to x-scheme-handler/mailto=vivaldi-snapshot.desktop;

Restart Linux.

I am out of ideas now. My Debian 12 KDE 5 Plasma running fine.

Is yours up-to-date?

sudo apt clean
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

mottenmouse

After some additional searching, I found a reference to the creation of a separate mailto handler in ~/.local/share/applications/.
That was a hint in the right direction:
The files “vivaldi-snapshot.desptop” and “vivaldi-stable.desptop” already existed.
But why? I have no idea, I had not created them. I renamed the files. That was the solution.

@DoctorG Vielen, vielen Dank für Deine Zeit und Hilfe!

You mean: ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list?
I think, that is a very old setting and is now deprecated.

Oh, i forgot to tell you yesterday.

mottenmouse

No.

DoctorG

@mottenmouse Ah, ok. Never had desktop files in there.

Strange, i checked my fresh installed Debian 12, tried with systemsettings and could not evaluate that a setting created such files in .local/share/applications/

Perhaps caused by old config on your side.

But, never mind, all ok.
Next time, i hope i will remember to ask users about.

Glad, that you could solve it.

@DoctorG That is where a duplicate "desktop" file will be put by the system is you try editing it. So if you were to edit "vivaldi-stable.desktop" to add something to the execute line that is where it's put on my Debian system. I'm reluctant to say "Debian 12" because my system has been upgraded from Deb 9 and I have a lot of debris from that...
