Web Clipper not working on Ubuntu

Hello everyone!

I have been trying to make the web clipper work on linux (ubuntu 24) but with no avail.

I tried both firefox and chrome, with both the snap and appimage of Obsidian (latest version).

When I press “add to obsidian” inside the web clipper nothing happens.

There is a dialog box in the browser, but even if i select the obsidian desktop file there is no result at all:

Any idea?

Thanks a lot!

I know nothing about Linux, so this might be completely useless for you, but have you tried the Linux-specific troubleshooting tips on the help site?

Yes, I have tried what is suggested in the troubleshooting section, but with no results. When I click on Open Link (firefox) nothing happens. (With Chrome it doesn’t work either).

Is there anyone who has managed to use the web clipper with linux?

Thanks!

Hi.

There are solved and unsolved Linux issues on Clipper’s GitHub pages. Perhaps a post on GitHub will get a better response?

Better if you guys install the browser plugin Markdownload by deathau. It just works.
