File picker issues
File picker issues
Hi, I’m having issues with the file picker on my arch system. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all. If I press “Upload file” in a browser, nothing happens, no window pops up. It doesn’t work in other apps either when that happens. It sometimes starts working after a restart. Does anyone have any ideas? Let me know if you need any logs and how to get them please :)
I’m on arch, hyprland, both xdg-hyprland and xdg-gtk are installed.
If this is firefox specific, in
about:configset the value of somethingportalto 1.on a totally different system and different app i had similar issues after an update. my solution was to run the app with a java version closer to what it was compiled for, which is not helpful for you. however, i think it was related to gtk/gnome libs having been updated (the app was using the file picker with gtk "look and feel")
Have you checked the logs? I guess a simple
journalctl —user -fwould tell you what went wrong. Just run the command on a terminal and click the file picker button couple times and see what pops up
