[SOLVED] Chromium Based Browsers - No File Pick Dialog

Hello,

After last full system upgrade, I no longer can save files in any chrome-like browser since the file-picker dialog does not open.
The same is true for file upload as well.

I have tested:

Brave, Google Chrome and Chromium

My env:

Graphical env: i3 version 4.23 (2023-10-29) using X11
Uname: 6.7.0-arch3-1

I have read the change notes here https://archlinux.org/news/ but I didn't see anything that might be related (besides maybe the d-bus ?)

Here is the relative chromium debug log when I click on a "download" link:

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium Based Browsers - No File Pick Dialog

How are you starting xorg/i3 ? If via .xinitrc make sure you've followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc

In addition to that most browser are moving to desktop portals for file browser integration, so you proably want to install and setup xdg-desktop-portal-gtk or so: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium Based Browsers - No File Pick Dialog

Hello @V1del thank you for your reply.

I am starting my i3 using "startx" and I have a basic .xinitrc.
I had followed the tutorial way back when I have installed my system.

xcompmgr -c &

xbindkeys
xss-lock -n ~/.local/bin/display_dim.sh -- i3lock -n --image /usr/share/backgrounds/archlinux/awesome.png -f &

xautolock -time 15 -locker "systemctl suspend" -detectsleep &

xset s 300 120
xset -b

# Start Window Manager
exec i3

I have also installed "xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.15.1-1 is up to date"

Do you have any other suggestions ? Is there a way to test the file picker dialog outside of the browser ?

Thank you once again

V1del

that .xinitrc is incomplete, note the blue notes https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc and especially the note regarding the if statements from the default file that properly import your dbus environment.

Thank mister V1del it turned out this was the issue.

Big thank you !

For any other person experiencing the same issue here is my final .xinitrc:

xcompmgr -c &

xbindkeys
xss-lock -n ~/.local/bin/display_dim.sh -- i3lock -n --image /usr/share/backgrounds/archlinux/awesome.png -f &

xautolock -time 15 -locker "systemctl suspend" -detectsleep &

xset s 300 120
xset -b

# Start Window Manager
exec i3

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium Based Browsers - No File Pick Dialog

That... should not work.

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

needs to be put before the exec i3 line anything after the exec line will generally not be executed.

I tried restarting and you are right - it needs to be before
