[SOLVED?] google-chrome-stable: Can't save files after upgrade

quellen · Yesterday 10:16:01

hi,
After updating Google Chrome to the latest version from AUR (google-chrome 136.0.7103.113-1), I’m no longer able to save or download files properly: When I try to save an image, download a file, or use "Save as", the dialog appears — I can select a location and click "Save" — but nothing happens. No file is created, no error is shown.

$ google-chrome-stable

I tried installing "xdg-desktop-portal-gtk" and using the "--gtk-version=4" option, but it didn’t fix the issue.

(I have to use Google Chrome instead of Chromium due to notification issues on a site)

I solved it thanks to chatgpt:
the problem was that xdg-desktop-portal-gtk did not start automatically (maybe because I do not use any DE but only openbox):

$ ps aux | grep xdg-desktop-portal
pippo        5448  0.0  0.2 622888 16920 ?        Ssl  12:59   0:00 /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal
pippo        6921  0.0  0.0   7668  4128 pts/0    S+   13:01   0:00 grep xdg-desktop-portal

so I added this line to ~/.config/openbox/autostart:

/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk &
