expected outcome:
- When using the system the file picker should work as usual.
actual outcome: - The file picker on Firefox crashes it or does nothing. On brave it crashes the system. But Falkon works fine. (as it is qt I assume)
- I had issues before with it being very laggy before it completely stopped working
- Meta information like system and nix versions:
system.stateVersion = “23.11”;
flakes/other experimental features disabled
relevant config, copied and pasted from configuration.nix, these settings have been changed around enabled/disabled with no avail:
programs.sway = {
enable = true;
wrapperFeatures.gtk = true;
};
programs.xwayland.enable = true;
xdg.portal.wlr.enable = true;
xdg.portal = {
enable = true;
extraPortals = with pkgs; [
xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
xdg-desktop-portal-kde
# xdg-desktop-portal-gtk (disabled as it causes errors)
];
};
environment.sessionVariables.XDG_DATA_DIRS = lib.mkAfter [
(builtins.readFile (pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {

dontUnpack = true;
buildInputs = [ pkgs.gtk3 ];
installPhase = ‘’
printf %s “$GSETTINGS_SCHEMAS_PATH” > “$out”
‘’;

];
systemd.services.xdg-desktop-portal = {

xwayland is enabled
firefox error (not mine but had the same, I just can’t reproduce now)

for me it is set to 1 and locked.
I also tried disabling hardware acceleration on firefox, didn’t help.
