[SOLVED] Installing any XDG Desktop Portal impl delays app launch

Kyuunex · 2024-02-21 13:44:56

This started around the time we got a new dbus implementation, and I have tried going back to the old one to see if it fixed the issue but it did not.

As the title says, installing literally any XDG Desktop Portal implementation delays the launch of some apps by around 1 minute, making them time out before they launch, with a similar output:

[~]$ gnome-disks 
Failed to register: Timeout was reached

In an attempt to debug this, I came to a conclusion that, having any file exist in this directory /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals, even if the file is empty, makes the portal hang

Bellow is the output of what happens when I have any Portal implementation installed

[~]$ /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal -v
XDP: Looking for portals configuration in '/home/battler/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf'
XDP: Looking for portals configuration in '/home/battler/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/portals.conf'

XDP: Using portal configuration file '/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf' for desktop 'hyprland'
XDP: load portals from /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals

This is all it prints and just hangs on that last line. This is independent if the session is Xorg or Wayland.

And now bellow is the output when there is absolutely no portal implementation installed and the mentioned folder does not even exist

[~]$ /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal -v
XDP: Looking for portals configuration in '/home/battler/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf'

XDP: org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop acquired

[~]$ ls /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals': No such file or directory

In this state, app launch is no longer delayed, but I also don't have access to screenshare on wayland. Having the main xdg-desktop-portal itself does not cause issues, just any implementation.

This is as far as I was able to debug this issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

not too good at understanding these but hopefully im filtering the logs correctly
i found none of these helpful

seth · 2024-02-21 15:12:47

Don't filter at all, view the journal in context - the stuff around the poral access should be relevant.
In doubt please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Kyuunex · 2024-02-21 15:28:42

https://0x0.st/H5ZI.txt

seth · 2024-02-21 15:47:36

The boot is only 60s and doesn't seem to hold any trace of a portal invocation at all?
You need to have triggered the problem for it to show up in the journal.

Kyuunex · 2024-02-21 15:58:45

I assumed it triggered it because I have waybar installed and at startup, and it does not launch because of this issue (not even a delay)

Here's the rest of the journal continuing from the previous paste where I tried triggering this issue manually

You currently don't have a portal implementation installed?

pacman -Qs portal

seth · 2024-02-21 16:15:09

So why does xdg-desktop-portal-gtk not show up in the logs?

pacman -Qikk xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Do not try to work around the timeout by removing files or directories, have the system fully run into the timeout.

I launched gnome disks again, waiting for the timeout fully, here is the output, it took longer than it did in the original post because at that time, I had a different (hyprland) portal installed. But this time I am testing with the GTK portal. There is a timeout between each error message bellow.

[~]$ gnome-disks

In terms of modifying directories or files, I did it once to /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals to debug this exact issue and at the end, I put it back to how it should be, the permissions should be how they normally should be.

[~]$ ls -lah /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals
total 12K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Feb 21 18:45 .

[~]$ ls -lah /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 495 Oct 22 02:13 /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/gtk.portal
[~]$ ls -lah /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/
total 24K
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root 4.0K Feb 21 18:45 .

drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4.0K Feb 21 18:45 portals

Additionally, uninstalling every portal implementation makes pacman automatically delete this folder because it's empty and recreate it when installing. Permissions should be normal.

This has probably nothing to do w/ portal but you hyprland session, resp. the session dbus

echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
loginctl session-status
systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

How exactly do you start hyprland?

ly is systematically broken, even using startx after using ly is unreliable, https://github.com/fairyglade/ly/issues … +is%3Aopen
Disable ly, boot the multi-user.target, startx, test again, post an updated journal.

Since you're running konsole and kdeconnect there, does https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … ortal-kde/ work?
What happens if you run

qdbus org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.Read org.freedesktop.appearance color-scheme

Sanity check, do you need xdg-desktop-portal at all?

pacman -Rs xdg-desktop-portal

Kyuunex · 2024-02-21 21:54:57

It waits some time and prints a response

[~]$ qdbus org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.Read org.freedesktop.appearance color-scheme
Cannot find 'org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.Read' in object /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop at org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop

[~]$ sudo pacman -Rs xdg-desktop-portal
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing xdg-desktop-portal breaks dependency 'xdg-desktop-portal' required by xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
:: removing xdg-desktop-portal breaks dependency 'xdg-desktop-portal' required by xdg-desktop-portal-kde

I need the portals if I want to run hyprland, sway or plasma 6 wayland session and be able to screencast.
I am also very interested in what broke this.

Can you

qdbus org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.gtk

?
For some reason xdg-desktop-portal does not even seem to try to launch an implementation.

Sanity check

So that works (and started the implementation)
Can you now

qdbus org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.Read org.freedesktop.appearance color-scheme

[~]$

takes a while for it to print something

seth · 2024-02-21 23:13:00

I suspect because it fails to start/connect to an implementation - for unknown reasons
Same if you explcitly run "/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal -v"?

qdbus | grep portal

Probably only shows the gtk implementation?

/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/gtk.portal has "UseIn=gnome", what if you remove that?
