I am sorry to answer so late. As I tested it today, the links from within Obsidian simply successfully open zotero urls. :) yey \o/ I had no time to follow what you've changed in the meantime. Now, it's perfect.

desktop-file-utils is isntalled here and I have the line x-scheme-handler/zotero=zotero.desktop; in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. I deleted ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.config/mimeapps.list and it works fine in this case! The problem is that it seems I need them because pdf are opened in chromium (I always have periodically this kind of problem)!

I don't have a problem with xdg-open (I also have neither a desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications nor a line for zotero in ~/.config/mimeapps.list.)

But I have the line x-scheme-handler/zotero=zotero.desktop; in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

AFAIK this file is generated by https://man.archlinux.org/man/update-desktop-database.1 which is (in addition to a pacman hook) part of https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/desktop-file-utils/. [The pacman hook triggers when a *.desktop file is installed in usr/share/applications and then updates the mimeinfo.cache file.]

@manouchk If you are missing the desktop-file-utils package and adding it fixes the problem, it may be good to include it in the dependency list for this package.

@manouchk In my configuration, I have neither a desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications nor a line for zotero in ~/.config/mimeapps.list.

There must be something else.

Can anyone else check if they have problems with xdg-open?

I solved my problems by adding a Desktop Entry in ~/.local/share/applications and a line for zotero in ~/.config/mimeapps.list as explained in https://askubuntu.com/questions/964275/how-to-register-zotero-protocol-on-ubuntu-16-04/964283#964283 and now it works just fine. Is this problem peculiar to my configuration?

@manouchk I cannot reproduce your error.

With the current .desktop file, when running: xdg-open zotero://select/library/items/43A2CNWN I get: /usr/bin/xdg-open: ligne 881: x-www-browser : commande introuvable (command not found)

@juanmah It was not a filesystem bug, because I installed the latest version manually using makepkg and it works fine. It most likely was a paru problem with its cache, because I rm -r.cache/paru and reinstalled zotero and everything worked again. There must be some leftover files in the cache that messed up the installation. Sorry for the trouble.

@juanmah I tried clean reinstalling, all the .so files under /usr/lib/zotero are corrupted. I manually extracted the .tar.bz2 source and the elf .so look fine to me. There might be a corruption bug I am hitting with my filesystem (f2fs+zstd compression). I will investigate more.
