Start.me extension inoperative on KDE Neon Plasma 6.2
-
Wanting to try out Vivaldi on Linux with Start.me extension and this message appears upon starting the browser:
Clicking on cancel or open xdg-open doesn't help.
Vivaldi can't deal with it.Oddly enough, Brave browser has no issues with it.
Is there a workaround for it on Vivaldi i don't know about?

Hi, Vivaldi use it's own implementation of a start page, Chrome extensions conflict with this often doesn't work in Vivaldi.
Other Chromium just use the default one.
You can try to enable Extension support in Settings > Tabs:
-
@mib2berlin - goccha!
Unfortunately, it doesn't help.
"Could not read file vivaldi://startpage"
It's sad, 'cause it was Vivaldi that introduced me to this bookmarking service.
Win some, lose some.
Thanks for your time and effort!

@danielson
Get some! Did you try the new Dashboard feature?
You can add speed dial folders, top sites, calendar and feeds, web pages and custom boards.
You can enable it on vivaldi:settings/startpage/
-
@mib2berlin - haven't really gone much into that novel part yet.
Recent sync issues have put a damper on my use of Vivaldi.
With no extensions restored, passwords gone, bookmarks showing up late...
A lesson on the need to keep a "plan b" on hand has become a must.
Start.me extension would have allowed bookmark search (those saved with Start.me) right from the url box.

I have just installed the Vivaldi browser and after some time of using it I am getting this xdg-open issue .
Anyone in Vivaldi try to do something about it ?
It is confusing . -
-
@DoctorG Thank you for your reply .
Probably I have not explain very well of my issue:
I am a new user of of Vivaldi and I would like to have just a normal browser experience.
I do not have a glue on this time what the xdg is . Probably it will be important but for now I just would like to open the browser like every other browser without it asking me if I would like to open something else additional during a start process .
How to disable this question during an opening process of a browser when it asks to open or not xdg ? -

What does this mean?

A regular start-up process of a browser does not cause this.
Which settings had you made before in Vivaldi?
Which extensions has you instaled?
Explain when and how your issue happens. -

xdg is not a app or browser extension you need.
It is the part of Linux which opens URLs and files by their content/file type in a Linux app. -
@nonino I checked on my Linuxes (Debian 12 KDE + deb package) & Ubuntu 24 LTS GNOME (deb packages) and never saw your issue with a new installed Vivaldi.
I do not know anything about your Linux & Desktop Environment, and how you installed Vivaldi. -
So , when I have installed Vivaldi all was fine .
There was no any issue with a pop up massage during a start up process .
... but after I have change some settings in Vivaldi or after I have installed an extension I have started to get the same pop up window which is on the begging of this topic started by danielson . He attached the same pop up window I am getting now.
I have been trying to attached screen shot in here but for some reason it does not work.I can not figure it out how to do that . -
@nonino Some system info could help. Linux flavor? Is this a Flatpack install or native to your system?
-
When you ask about Flavor I think you mean probably which desktop I have on my Linux .If so I have a Budgie .
I have installed Vivaldi from native Budgie app center .
I have to say that I have been trying to connect Vivaldi with KeePassXC extention to integrrate both but I have noticed now I have a older version of KeePassXC . So maybe this cause an issue. -
@nonino Tell us about Vivaldi settings:
- Settings → General → Homepage and Startup With
- Settings → Tabs → New Tab Page
-
-
@nonino Looks like this old bug: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/86833/open-xdg-popup-when-starting-vivaldi
-
Finally I have found out how to attached a files here .
.... and the Tabs setting :
-
@nonino Settings → General → Startup with → Start Page could fix your issue.
Try it. -
Yes . That's it !
There is no pop up window on the start anymore.This is what was causing a problem .
This is what I have changed shortly after I have installed the browser .
I was not sure what I have changed but now I remember .Thank you very much for your help .
It was really confusing and annoying to get this kind of question on the start.
