1-click installation don't work with Brave browser. Is there a problem with openSUSE or the browser?

English Install/Boot/Login

I’m using Brave browser Version 1.14.84 Chromium: 85.0.4183.121 (Official build) (64-bit)

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200925
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1
Kernel Version: 5.8.10-1-defaultfile://
OS Type: 64-bit

When I try to install any program as a 1-click installation, only the YMP file below opens.
I would like to know which one is wrong. :wink:

Here’s an example of installing the Kate editor (https://software.opensuse.org/package/kate). With Chromium, a 1-click installation works as it should, but with a Brave browser, it doesn’t. Only the file below will open and the installation will not begin.

I do not know much about the Brave browser, and I avoid 1-click, but I guess that a browser must have “knowledge” about what to do when it gets a YPM (I do not know the MIME type that defines it) file from a server. Like it knows what to do with e.g. a JPEG file. I assume that Brave does not have this “knowledge” included. The result is a fall-back to Text (unknown type) and it renders thus the text on the page.

Thanks a lot for the reply!

I, too, think the fault is in the Brave browser. I think I’ll modify my question a bit and copy it for the Brave gangs. :slight_smile:

You could try, but I am not sure the will bother for such a special openSUSE oriented feature. I assume (but am not sure) that the YPM support in Firefox and some others is an addition belonging to the openSUSE distribution. But please, these are just vague thoughts and maybe faulty conclusions.

YMP one-click stuff only ever worked for me in Firefox but never did in Chrome or Chromium-based browsers like Brave.
I never bothered to investigate as there always was an option to download and install with Zypper as I recall.

You are right.
I think I found a file in the Brave browser that defines mime types?


Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=application/pdf;application/rdf+xml;application/rss+xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xhtml_xml;application/xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;image/webp;text/html;text/xml;x-scheme-handler/ftp;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;
Actions=new-window;new-private-window;

I also found the CAP mime type from page https://nim-lang.org/docs/mimetypes.html




("yml", "text/yaml"), ("ymp", "text/x-suse-ymp"),

I wonder if I could patch that mime type to that Brave file (I don’t remember the file name now, but I can find it )?

I tested some browers and the result was:
Firefox: OK
Chromium: OK
Vivaldi: OK
Google-Chrome: NOK
Opera: NOK

One-click installations only work using the openSUSE-branded Firefox (ie from the openSUSE repository),
It’s the only web browser with the YMP MIME type configured.

Awhile back one Desktop actually didn’t install Firefox and instead installed a different web browser as its default.
After a short discussion in the bugzilla, the decision was to simply add Firefox and not try to add the YMP MIME type to other web browsers.

Of course, if the maintainers for that web browser decided they wanted to add the MIME type on their own, nothing prevents that…

:shame:
I am sorry.
I somehow managed to mess up my message and I couldn’t delete it.
:embarrassed:

That’s OK.
If you’d like to help modify this package,
Locate the OBS project (easiest way is probably by Search),
create an OBS account for yourself,
Fork the existing project,
Make your changes and submit to the project maintainers.

I also found that the MIME type is

text/x-suse-ymp

But you not only have to define that somewhere in a MIME type list in the browser, but also which program then should be called to fed the file into.

I don’t think I’m smart enough to make changes to the code. :\

Same problem here. As Firefox user numbers are WAY lower than they used to be, this will continue to be a problem.

Sorry, but I do not understand you.

This thread is a bout the Bravo browser and not about Firefox (and it is a few months old without any discussion anymore).

When you have a solution how to implement MIME type text/x-suse-ymp in Bravo in a way that it will start a 1-click installation, please post it here. It is still possible that the OP will stumble into it.

When you have a Firefox problem, then please start a new thread about it (with more adequate information that does not require mind reading).
