[BUG]: Custom external browser setting does not work - again

[richardstevenhack]

Brief description of the issue

Running the latest RSSGuard Flatpak 4.7.0 on latest openSUSE Tumbleweed. Previously, after fixing the issue back in February with the fix suggested by Guilherme Silva, I was able to open Firefox to process RSS feed items with Firefox as the external browser.

Today after an openSUSE Tumbleweed update and a Flatpak update, I can no longer do so.

Also, in addition, not only am I not able to open with external browser, right clicking only allows two actions: Open in external tool, and Labels, both of which are greyed out. All other options of right-click are also greyed out.

How to reproduce the bug?

1) Select a feed article. 2) Right-click the feed article.

What was the expected result?

The right-click should show the option "open in external browser" as available, among other options.

What actually happened?

The only right-click options which appear active are "Open with external tool" and "Labels". All other options in the list are greyed out and the options for the two active options are also greyed out.

Please NOTE: Pursuant to having had the problem in February, I added the following based on instructions from Guilherme Silva:

1. Break the sandbox: flatpak --user override --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak io.github.martinrotter.rssguard
2. Restart RSS Guard
3. Set your "web browser executable" to: /usr/bin/flatpak-spawn
4. Use this as your parameters (replacing firefox by your browser of choice): --host firefox "%1"

All those are still the configuration I am using with the current problem.

One thing I did discover is that after the openSUSE Tumbleweed update, flatpak-spawn was no longer in /usr/bin or anywhere in the system. I had to reinstall it from the openSUSE repository. I don't know why that happened. I assumed that was part of the flatpak system and that it would be kept updated by the flatpak system.

Operating system and version

• OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240515 Flatpak Version: Flatpak 1.15.8
• RSS Guard version:

• RSS Guard

  Version: 4.7.0 (built on Linux/x86_64) Revision: Build date: 5/16/24 1:32 AM OS: KDE Flatpak runtime Qt: 6.6.3 (compiled against 6.6.3)

I'll try to reproduce this issue soon, and I'll get back to you.

In the meantime, I have a note on this comment:

One thing I did discover is that after the openSUSE Tumbleweed update, flatpak-spawn was no longer in /usr/bin or anywhere in the system. I had to reinstall it from the openSUSE repository. I don't know why that happened. I assumed that was part of the flatpak system and that it would be kept updated by the flatpak system.

You won't find flatpak-spawn on your system's /usr/bin.

That executable is only available inside the Flatpak runtime RSS Guard uses (i.e. KDE):

$ flatpak run --command=which io.github.martinrotter.rssguard flatpak-spawn
/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn

That means you don't have to install anything on your system to make flatpak-spawn available, because it's already included with RSS Guard's flatpak runtime.

[guihkx]

Just tested it. The issue is not reproducible for me with RSS Guard 4.7.0.

Can you please provide some extra information so we can understand why this is not working for you?

• Post the output of this command:

  cat ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/io.github.martinrotter.rssguard

• Post a screenshot of your External web browser settings in RSS Guard, i.e.:

  

• Finally, post the output of these two commands:

  which firefox
  firefox --version

@guihkx So this is actually not related to rssguard as it seems.

@guihkx By the way, huge thanks for your contribution to RSS Guard community. You are MVP when it comes to RSS Guard's Flatpak port and other stuff. Thanks once more.

Thanks for the kind words. And it's no problem, I'm glad to help whenever I'm able to. :)

So this is actually not related to rssguard as it seems.

Yeah, I suspect it's a configuration issue, unrelated to RSS Guard itself.

But I'd like to wait for the OP's response, just to be sure...

[martinrotter]

Sure will keep this opened, not a problem.

Hope this helps.

[guihkx]

Thanks for providing those. I don't see anything immediately obvious that would be causing the issue though...

However, I noticed that your RSS Guard log messages don't have messages similar to these:

time="   189.158" type="debug" -> network: We are trying to open URL 'https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/commits/master.atom'.
time="   189.158" type="debug" -> network: Arguments for external browser: '--host google-chrome-stable "https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/commits/master.atom"'.

These two messages should show up whenever you click on any hyperlink in RSS Guard, so can you please generate a new log file that contain at least one of these messages?

Also, can you please share your global flatpak overrides:

cat ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/global

You might not have this file if you don't have global flatpak overrides.

[richardstevenhack]

Here's the command output:

rhack@localhost:/Data2/Work> cat ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/global [Context] filesystems=home

OK, I just got up about an hour ago. I read the above request and ran RSSGuard from the command line with the --log option. When I clicked on the feed item and did a right-click, everything worked as it should. I was able to load the item to Firefox. The problem was gone!

Then I quit RSSGuard and ran it from the KDE Task Manager pinned app as I usually do. The problem returned. I quit it again.

Then I ran it from the KDE menu directly and the problem persisted.

So I wondered if some change in the KDE desktop which is out of sync with the installed flatpak might be causing the problem. So I uninstalled and reinstalled RSSGuard using the usual flatpak commands figuring it would regenerate the KDE desktop relationship.

Now running RSSGuard from the KDE menu, or the Task Manager pin, OR from the command line still shows the problem.

I don't know why it worked from the command line, but only one time. That is extremely weird.

As for the two message types requested, when the program operated correctly on first use I did see those messages when I was able to open one of the feed items in the browser. However, when the problem exists, those messages do NOT appear when I right-click on the feed item. I suspect this is because the entire option to use an external browser is greyed out and can not be clicked on. Since the problem has no returned no matter how the program is run, I can't show those messages.

Right clicking on any feed item just generates messages of the type: time=" 5.085" type="debug" -> gui: Message list got focus with reason 'Qt::MouseFocusReason'. time=" 5.085" type="debug" -> gui: Current row changed - proxy 'QModelIndex(8,6,0x55e359dd7e30,MessagesProxyModel(0x55e359b364a0, name = MessagesProxyModel))', source 'QModelIndex(8,6,0x0,MessagesModel(0x55e359b7ef20))'. time=" 13.043" type="debug" -> gui: Message list got focus with reason 'Qt::PopupFocusReason'.

In case it might help, here is the config.ini file: config.ini.txt

[guihkx]

I used your config file here, and everything still works, so it's most likely not related to that...

I suspect this is because the entire option to use an external browser is greyed out and can not be clicked on

I didn't even know the external browser menu option could get greyed out... LOL

But what happens when you just left-click on hyperlinks? That should launch the external web browser, too.

By the way, and this is very silly, but are you sure you don't have a duplicate installation of RSS Guard (e.g. through your distro's package manager)?

That's the only explanation I can think of for links not opening when you launch RSS Guard through KDE's apps menu... :man_shrugging:

Can you record a quick video following these steps?

1. Run RSS Guard in the terminal: flatpak run io.github.martinrotter.rssguard
2. Open any article, from any feed
3. Left-click on the "URL" hyperlink under the WebView panel
4. Go back to the terminal window and see if we get any error or useful messages

Here's a video recording I did, following the steps above:

https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/assets/626206/7c9311db-e29c-4b12-bdbb-7e6580c1acf6

[richardstevenhack]

I don't know how to record a video on my system, but I followed the steps and that does work fine. Here is the log results:

log.txt

Left clicking on the URL in the Webview panel works and so does right-clicking on the URL which brings up the context menu for that action which allows opening in the external browser.

So it appears the only thing not working is why the right click on a feed article brings up the context menu with all the options except "Open with external tool" and "Labels" greyed out.

And I don't have a second installation of the program.

[guihkx]

So it appears the only thing not working is why the right click on a feed article brings up the context menu with all the options except "Open with external tool" and "Labels" greyed out.

I'm almost sure that's because of a difference in behavior introduced by 4.7.0, actually related to this issue I reported earlier: #1410

If you want to confirm this, use the 4.6.6 AppImage and try to reproduce the issue with it.

Either way, that's a separate issue, unrelated to this one...

I don't know how to record a video on my system

That's probably not necessary anymore, but you could use GPU Screen Recorder or OBS Studio next time.

Anyway, do you think the main issue has been resolved?

[richardstevenhack]

Now this is interesting. After doing the requested experiment, I decided to try running the program from the KDE menu again and testing. And guess what? The problem went away again!

It seems like opening the feed item from the URL in Webview panel "jogged something loose", as it were. This implies some sort of "state change" is occurring.

I then ran it from the Task Manager pin - and the problem was back. I then ran it from the command line - and the problem remains. And I then ran it again from the KDE menu - and the problem remains.

I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with how I quit out of the program. I usually click the X close button in the upper right which closes it to the system tray. I almost never use the File menu quit option. I then may or may not right-click on the system tray icon and select quit. Perhaps some state is not being saved properly? I tried both ways and saved the logs from both attempts and ran a comparison but didn't see any difference from the point where the log shows the window being closed.

I tried to reproduce the working version a couple more times by running it from the KDE menu, clicking the URL in the Webview panel, then closing, then rerunning from the KDE menu and from the command line, and the problem persists. I can't seem to see any pattern in how it works once, then stops working.

I am trying to run the AppImage versions of the current version and the previous version, but at the moment it appears my AppImage setup isn't working. The AppImageLauncher I use appears to be broken and appimaged service isn't even installed. Probably another lousy Tumbleweed update broke something (as usual).

[richardstevenhack]

OK, got the AppImage straightened out.

Running the 4.7.0 AppImage, the problem persists. Running the 4.6.6 AppImage, the problem goes away.

So I guess I'm stuck with 4.6.6 (at least until another Tumbleweed update breaks the AppImage - which I've had happen before.)

OR I can use the flatpak version and just forget about right-clicking on a feed item from now on.

[guihkx]

This is all very weird to me, and I'm out of ideas to debug this further, especially since I cannot reproduce this, at all...

The AppImageLauncher I use appears to be broken and appimaged service isn't even installed.

You can always just run the AppImage directly. Just give it execute permission and run by either double-clicking or via the command line.

[guihkx]

I'm not sure if you already answered this before, but anyway, when things are not working and you click on links, does nothing happen at all?

Does RSS Guard not even display an error in the GUI, or something like that?

[richardstevenhack]

I just solved the problem!

What I used to do was click on a feed, which displays the articles. Then I would scan down the articles and right-click on one that I wanted to open in the external browser. The context menu comes up, then I click on open with external browser.

I never clicked on the feed article BEFORE right-clicking on it.

However, now if I DO click on the feed article, then when I right-click the context menu opens as it should. If I just right-click on the article without first selecting it, the context menu comes up greyed out. So apparently the right-click selects the feed article AFTER it pops up the context menu. Since the context menu is being opened on a un-selected article it shows no options for that article.

If I select the article FIRST, then right-click the context menu opens and shows the options for the feed article.

I could swear I've never explicitly selected the article before, I just right-clicked it and everything worked.

Anyway, the problem is solved. All I have to do is select the article first, then right-click.

[guihkx]

Ahh, I understand now.

So the actual issue was only RSS Guard greying out the "open in external browser" context menu option, because you didn't select the article first using left-click. So it's not actually related to Flatpak at all...

Like I said earlier, to me this issue is closely related to #1410, which is technically a regression in behavior from 4.6.6, but we'll see how Martin will deal with it.

I suppose this can be closed now?

[richardstevenhack]

I hadn't looked at 1410 until you mentioned it again. I just looked at it, and yeah, pretty much the same issue. You have to select the article first, or none of the context menu options are available (except two - and their options are greyed out as well.)

It doesn't seem logical to me how it works. When you right-click on an object, it would seem to me to be obvious that one is selecting that object and therefore it should bring up the context menu with all options related to that object. I don't see why one would do the opposite.

Looking at the discussion in 1410, I can see where right-clicking on an article wouldn't necessarily bring up the Web panel view of the article. And right-clicking with CTRL for multiple selection is a different action altogether than merely right-clicking on an article.

But clearly right-clicking on an article implies both selecting the article and bringing up the context menu - otherwise why bother clicking on it? LOL Or at least it definitely implies at least bringing up the context menu.

DawEdhel did comment in 1410 that they prefer to right-click a single article in order to examine the details and keep it unread at the same time, which does make sense. Perhaps selecting an article shouldn't mean it's actually been read?

Actually I just played a bit more. It appears that if you click on a feed, then RIGHT-click on a feed article, the feed article is highlighted in blue, indicating it has been selected, and the context menu does not appear. BUT if you click on another feed, then LEFT-click on an article, the feed article is highlighted, and then the context menu works. BUT then subsequently the context menu works for ALL the feed articles for that feed WITHOUT left-clicking first!

Clearly this is inconsistent behavior.

I think Martin needs to rethink the combination of actions that are possible and their sequence of execution. As I suggest, a right-click should at the very least select the item and bring up the context menu in that order. Just my two cents.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as I know how to make it work, it's no longer an issue for me.

[martinrotter]

1410 was fixed to old behavior, which suited many people.

Can we therefore close?
