xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland inactive (dead) [SOLVED]

xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland inactive (dead)

EDIT:
## Added output of journalctl
## Added Nuclear Option output
## Generally cleaned up my initial messy question

EDIT 10/2
## Added .bashrc configs

systemctl status --user xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

Returns:

○ xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.service - Portal service (Hyprland implementation)
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.service; stat>
     Active: inactive (dead)

I've been fighting to turn this on

journalctl -u xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

Returns

-- No entries --

#!/usr/bin/env bash

killall -e xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
killall -e xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
killall xdg-desktop-portal
/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland &
sleep 2

[madderhatter@rtfm ~]$
(/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal:51298): xdg-desktop-portal-WARNING **: 18:50:25.202: No skeleton to export

What I've done so far:

I've installed xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

in hyprland.conf

exec-once = dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
exec-once = ~/.config/hypr/xdg-portal-hyprland
exec-once = /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE

env = XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, Hyprland
env = XDG_SESSION_TYPE, wayland
env = XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP, Hyprland

~/.bashrc

export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Hyprland
export XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=Hyprland

~/.config/hypr/xdg-portal-hyprland:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 1
killall xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
killall xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
killall xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
killall xdg-desktop-portal
logger 'killed all xdg-desktop'
sleep 1
/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland &
logger 'xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland started'
sleep 2
/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal &
logger 'xdg-desktop-portal started'

And I start my sessions with:

dbus-run-session Hyprland

Things I am unsure of and are new to me:
The script xdg-portal-hyprland

I used chmod u+x to make it executable but I copied that from gentoo wiki. I'm only aware of scripts ending in .sh so maybe it's not loading that file correctly. (Friendly explanation here would be appreciated)

Even so I ran the script directly in terminal and the service is still dead.

Please help me get xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.service turned on.

Thank You!

Re: xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland inactive (dead) [SOLVED]

Don't use dbus-run-session to start hyprland, it breaks session bus integration

Re: xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland inactive (dead) [SOLVED]

I rebooted, fired up Hyprland normal and the service is still dead.

I forgot to include my .bashrc in case that is an issue.

~/.bashrc

export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Hyprland
export XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=Hyprland

I just happened to check this because..... I don't know why but it occurred to me to check.
I did change the way I fire up Hyprland as per your recommendation but it was down after rebooting and doing so. I'm going to run it through a couple of tests first but if that goes well I'll mark this solved. My flabber is gasted.
