Re: [SOLVED] dbus unit files are ignored or not found.

Is that mean xorg-desktop-portal-hyprland unit file is meant to be enabled by xorg-desktop-portal?
Because xorg-desktop-portal-hyprland is dependency of xog-desktop-portal.
am i thinking right here?

Re: [SOLVED] dbus unit files are ignored or not found.

==> org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.hyprland.service <==

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.hyprland
Exec=/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
SystemdService=xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.service

As soon as anything tries to talk to the dbus interface org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.hyprland it'll trigger
==> xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.service <==

[Unit]
Description=Portal service (Hyprland implementation)
PartOf=graphical-session.target
After=graphical-session.target
ConditionEnvironment=WAYLAND_DISPLAY

[Service]
Type=dbus
BusName=org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.hyprland
ExecStart=/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
Restart=on-failure
Slice=session.slice

I'll argue that this is *still* an xy-problem…
Why do you think you want to start any of this in the first place?

Edit: nothing get's enabled there and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland is NOT a dependency for xdg-desktop-portal!
xdg-desktop-portal requires *any* xdg-desktop-portal-impl and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland is a way to fulfill that but you don't have to do anything but installing the packges.
That's it.

Re: [SOLVED] dbus unit files are ignored or not found.

I got it. And one more thing.
the arch repo contains both packages. But I have installed xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland from source (latest version with some bugs fix).  So in order to install xdg-desktop-portal package i used pacman. Which tries to install xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland first as it's dependency and failed, because i have already installed (because the repo contain out dated package).
So is that mean i have to installed it to from source.
Is there any option for it with pacman.

Re: [SOLVED] dbus unit files are ignored or not found.

I told you there's an XY-Problem

You can use --assume-installed but the correct way would be to build the package w/ the desired updates, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_build_system
Or just use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xdg- … prland-git
