I’m on Manjaro KDE, using Vivaldi browser, and VS Code from Snap.
To log in to things like Sync Settings on VS Code, it opens your browser to a page where you can log in to GitHub, and it then tries to open a magnetic URI with VS Code, containing the generated tokens.
Since I moved to Manjaro, this never worked for me, but before, prior to trying to open the magnetic URI, the web page showed you the URI and allowed you to copy-paste it manually back into VS Code, and that’s what I used to do, and it worked fine.
Now, that option seems to be gone, and it logged me out of basically everything on VS Code.
What happens is the following:
- Go to “Sign in to Sync Settings”
- “Sign in with GitHub”
- Page opens on browser, prompting to “Open xdg-open”
- Another instance of VS Code appears, “Visual Studio Code – URL Handler”
- This remains loading for a while
- And then it says “Cancelled”
The same happens whenever I try to log in on the other options, Copilot and Live Share.

Edit: It seems that using Chromium as a default browser worked, so this issue is likely related to Vivaldi somehow.
