I;m running NixOS 22.11
without Desktop environment (using Emacs as WM)
I’ve installed MS Edge stable
When the browser tries to open a dialog for file access (load, save) it crashes. Here is the output:
$ microsoft-edge
[13793:13793:0220/124532.485192:ERROR:assistance_home_client.cc(32)] File path /home/kvtb/.config/efault

[0220/124536.847777:ERROR:process_memory_range.cc(75)] read out of range
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
When running edge in a shell created with nix-shell -p gsettings-desktop-schemas it still crashes.
Is there a missing dependency somewhere in the derivation for Edge? How can I fix this myself?
I have the same problem and also here the missing GSettings appears to be the culprit.
The following makes it work:
$ nix-shell -p gtk3 -p microsoft-edge
$ echo $GSETTINGS_SCHEMAS_PATH
/nix/store/xj0sg6461p2xx4l9mg8q8wrpx7v5jmi4-gsettings-desktop-schemas-42.0/share/gsettings-schemas/gsettings-desktop-schemas-42.0:/nix/store/1d31c7yn9d4pcdir36kv3f7jmawlxf8r-gtk+3-3.24.34/share/gsettings-schemas/gtk+3-3.24.34
$ microsoft-edge # Opening a file crashes the browser.
[...]

I don’t like it at all, it but for my current assignment the company uses MS Teams and MS Office 365 for almost everything communication related and MS Edge is the only somewhat reliable way to use it on my BYOD Linux (NixOS) laptop.
