[SOLVED] Some programs can't open file manager in TDE

miguel04685 · 2024-11-17 22:57:36

On my Arch Linux + Trinity Desktop Environment setup, programs such as Firefox and Falkon can open the file manager, but other programs such as Google Chrome, Epiphany and Discord can't open it. I have installed xdg-desktop-portal, xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome but they doesn't seem to be enabled at startup.

Get rid of xdg-desktop-portal-gnome - you mean the file open/save dialogs or the "open file in filemanager" feature in some browsers?

miguel04685 · 2024-11-17 23:36:15

File open/save dialogs. For example, when downloading a file on Google Chrome

Then check the journal for xdg-desktop-portal related errors (crashes etc)

xdg-desktop-portal is enabled but xdg-desktop-portal-gtk isnt

Maybe I need to configure the system to set xdg-desktop-portal-gtk as default?

What's the output of

loginctl session-status

If you're using startx/xinit, see the last link below and the second note on what to at least include in your xinitrc. In doubt post it.

I managed to solve this problem by replacing TDM with LightDM. TDM is very buggy because autologin doesn't work and it might not startup services necessary for programs open the file manager. The only trade-off is that when turning off the PC by the TDE method, it redirects you to LightDM instead of shutting down the PC. You can solve this by configuring KShutDown to use /sbin/poweroff & /sbin/reboot and using KShutDown to shutdown the system.

The problem is likely that TDM doesn't import the session environment, but https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Console_TDM (?) seems to hinge on your xinitrc.
If that's another TDM, you'll have to look up it's session scripts and make sure /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh gets invoked.

Edit: Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
