this is a sort of continuation from #🎮bazzite https://discordapp.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1087140957096517672/1389518455157424148 Installation: Firefox and KeepassXC are installed as a FLATPAK on the SYSTEM Possible solution steps using the github: 1. Granted the browser access to KeePassXC flatpak app and KDE runtime installations, and to the KeePassXC proxy socket (RUN IN TERMINAL):

flatpak override --user \
  --filesystem={/var/lib,xdg-data}/flatpak/{app/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC,runtime/org.kde.Platform}:ro \
  --filesystem=xdg-run/app/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC:create \
  org.mozilla.firefox

flatpak override --user \
  --filesystem={/var/lib,xdg-data}/flatpak/{app/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC,runtime/org.kde.Platform}:ro \
  --filesystem=xdg-run/app/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC:create \
  org.mozilla.firefox

2. Make sure to go to ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/data and create a bin folder (it may not exist) Created a wrapper script that will launch the official keepassxc-proxy from KeePassXC flatpak, at a path accessible by the Firefox flatpak, e.g.

~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh

~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh

3. Into the sh file paste the following:

#!/bin/bash

APP_REF="org.keepassxc.KeePassXC/x86_64/stable"

for inst in "$HOME/.local/share/flatpak" "/var/lib/flatpak"; do
    if [ -d "$inst/app/$APP_REF" ]; then
        FLATPAK_INST="$inst"
        break
    fi
done
[ -z "$FLATPAK_INST" ] && exit 1

APP_PATH="$FLATPAK_INST/app/$APP_REF/active"

RUNTIME_REF=$(awk -F'=' '$1=="runtime" { print $2 }' < "$APP_PATH/metadata")
RUNTIME_PATH="$FLATPAK_INST/runtime/$RUNTIME_REF/active"

exec flatpak-spawn \
    --env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/lib \
    --app-path="$APP_PATH/files" \
    --usr-path="$RUNTIME_PATH/files" \
    -- keepassxc-proxy "$@"

#!/bin/bash

APP_REF="org.keepassxc.KeePassXC/x86_64/stable"

for inst in "$HOME/.local/share/flatpak" "/var/lib/flatpak"; do
    if [ -d "$inst/app/$APP_REF" ]; then
        FLATPAK_INST="$inst"
        break
    fi
done
[ -z "$FLATPAK_INST" ] && exit 1

APP_PATH="$FLATPAK_INST/app/$APP_REF/active"

RUNTIME_REF=$(awk -F'=' '$1=="runtime" { print $2 }' < "$APP_PATH/metadata")
RUNTIME_PATH="$FLATPAK_INST/runtime/$RUNTIME_REF/active"

exec flatpak-spawn \
    --env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/lib \
    --app-path="$APP_PATH/files" \
    --usr-path="$RUNTIME_PATH/files" \
    -- keepassxc-proxy "$@"

4. Go to the folder ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/ and create a folder named "native-messaging-hosts". Afterwards, in that folder create "org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json". Open it in an editor and paste in:

{
    "allowed_extensions": [
        "keepassxc-browser@keepassxc.org"
    ],
    "description": "KeePassXC integration with native messaging support",
    "name": "org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser",
    "path": "/var/home/USERNAME/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh",
    "type": "stdio"
}

{
    "allowed_extensions": [
        "keepassxc-browser@keepassxc.org"
    ],
    "description": "KeePassXC integration with native messaging support",
    "name": "org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser",
    "path": "/var/home/USERNAME/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh",
    "type": "stdio"
}

make sure to replace USERNAME with your own 5. Making the script executable (REQUIRED)

chmod +x ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh

chmod +x ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh

4.1 if that doesn't work then attempt to use this (also replace USERNAME):

{
    "allowed_extensions": [
        "keepassxc-browser@keepassxc.org"
    ],
    "description": "KeePassXC integration with native messaging support",
    "name": "org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser",
    "path": "/home/USERNAME/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh",
    "type": "stdio"
}

{
    "allowed_extensions": [
        "keepassxc-browser@keepassxc.org"
    ],
    "description": "KeePassXC integration with native messaging support",
    "name": "org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser",
    "path": "/home/USERNAME/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/data/bin/keepassxc-proxy-wrapper.sh",
    "type": "stdio"
}

ah, so it was a mistake. Because that is what I put into my json file lol.I also tested it with the fixed version and didn't work btw

cube•5mo ago

lol i was about to say at least we solved the mystery but ig not

bonkOP•5mo ago

I would try and reinstall bazzite but if it's going to be fixed later on I won't bother.

cube•5mo ago

yeah dont reinstall yet

cube•5mo ago

i used an ai to write a script for the whole workaround though it looks very over engineered. havent tested it either (i have a working system and dont want it to break somehow lol)

@cube yoo guess what! It worked on a reinstalled version of bazzite :beagle_happy: oh and sorry for ping. I had to reinstall the os because I just messed the os too much 💀

cube•5mo ago

hey no worries about the ping, im glad it worked at the end oops sorry i really forgot to turn off the ping myself lol

CheckYourFax•5mo ago

Okay @bonk what is the exact method without requiring to build a proxy? I'm testing now

bonkOP•5mo ago

Well the fix or method is just following the steps above. The github is just put there as a source on where it's from. This was the method that worked for me without issues unlike the other method which required more tinkering with stuff, from which this method FAILED to work afterwards. I am not a linux expert so, I am just posting what I can so others can find the solution easier
