File dialog broken on chrome
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I did something stupid.
I installed the latest kWSL and converted it to WSL2 and started installing my stuff.
Also downloaded stuff from chrome which worked fine.
Then I wanted to just install neon-all but couldn't because a lot of stuff depended on qt6-webengine which is marked as hold by kWSL.
So I thought lets just install it anway because whats the worst that could happen.
aaaaaaaaand yea. I installed neon-all and apps that depend on qt6-webengine seem to work fine. But it came at a cost.
I cant download stuff from chrome anymore because it can't open the system file dialog. When I try to download something I get
ERROR:select_file_dialog_linux_portal.cc(760)] Portal returned error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Portal operation not allowed: Unable to open /proc/0/root
I'm not sure if they were there before but there are a lot of other errors as well:

Soooooo... Do I have to purge qt6-webengine along with all apps that depend on it or is there a workaround?
Can you try selecting "GTK" in appearance settings to get around this?
You can un-hold the packages, apt-mark unhold qt6-webengine and update, but anything using qt6-webengine will be slowed-down due to a bug in version 6.7.0.
This is less of an issue in WSL2 where you can run Chrome-based browsers without issue, but in WSL1 the only decent and modern browser that works well is Falkon, and that uses qt6-webengine.
Same issue with GTK sadly
Im using WSL2 for this instance
I think this will sort out your issue:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall dbus ; sudo systemd-machine-id-setup ; sudo restartwsl
Log back into the instance and the file dialog should work.
That did indeed work! Thank you so so much!!
I can't tell you enough how amazing this project is and how much pain it saved me ❤️
