PPoisonISSweet for information i am running the nvidia version of bazzlite

dreamyuki•8/27/23, 10:44 PM

Note do have to run this command every reboot

dreamyuki•8/28/23, 9:11 PM

hmm

dreamyuki•8/28/23, 9:11 PM

so xdg-portal is not started properly every reboot

dreamyuki•8/28/23, 9:12 PM

if you want hacky solution
make a script for restarting xdg-portal with kde autologin feature

I can confirm this affects my nvidia-bazzite install too

This is helpful context

Can anyone post their logs from xdg-desktop-portal? Might explain what's going on here

lazyPower•9/1/23, 8:43 PM

I'm looking around for this - I've checked systemctl and not finding an xdg-desktop-portal-kde or just xdg-desktop-portal

Its clearly installed based on the rpm

is there something else / somewhere else I should be looking?

Kyle Gospo•9/1/23, 8:43 PM

iirc

lazyPower•9/1/23, 8:44 PM

I did try that first off with no joy

lazyPower•9/1/23, 8:46 PM

when I didn't see a file for the portal, i was already sus by the no entries message. I'm presently on my AMD rig looking into this from the latest nightly build of the bazzite image stream.

lazyPower•9/1/23, 8:57 PM

Ok - sorry Kyle it took me a minute but it's in the user namespace

as indicated by the systemctl restart above

Kyle Gospo•9/1/23, 8:58 PM

ty!

Kyle Gospo•9/1/23, 8:58 PM

that's interesting

lazyPower•9/1/23, 8:59 PM

:nod: I'm not sure if that's specific to me because i initially installed bazzite-deck and rebased to vanilla bazite, but let me run up to my wifes gaming pc (the nvidia-bazzite flavor) and see if she's got the same error in the log

lazyPower•9/1/23, 9:04 PM

confirmed, i have a log showing this dating back since the install of the node

lazyPower•9/1/23, 9:04 PM

Looks like that's the crux of it

Kyle Gospo•9/1/23, 9:07 PM

@EyeCantCU @bsherman Finally have a log of that XDG issue
