Description
- Take Control (formerly Take Control) Linux Viewer browser prompts to open xdg-open but nothing happens.
Environment
- N-able N-central
- Take Control Linux Viewer
Solution
- Define Protocol Handler on Linux
- We need to setup two files (assuming that the viewer is already installed through wine)
- File 1
- Path: ~/.local/share/applications/mspancsxvp.desktop
- Content:
- Path: ~/.local/share/applications/mspancsxvp.desktop
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open[Desktop Entry]Name=N-CentralExec=wine /home/username/.wine/drive_c/users/username/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/MSP\ Anywhere\ for\ N-able N-central /Viewer/NCentralRDLdr.exe -- %uTerminal=trueType=ApplicationMimeType=x-scheme-handler/mspancsxvp- File 2
- Path: ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
- Content:
- Path: ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]x-scheme-handler/mspancsxvp=mspancsxvp.desktop
- Note: The protocol handlers needs to be after the tag "[Default Applications]" in order to work
