 @mildras:one.ems.host | Hmm, regardless my biggest issue is that I can't even select any folder or mount points even with the steam picker
It just can't seem to find anything
The default path seems to work, but if I want to move my gaming PC to NixOS then I would need to be able to select my HDD | 00:17:43 |
 Charles ⚡️ | Are you using Wayland or x11 | 00:18:39 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | Wayland | 00:20:07 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | More precise I am using Wayfire | 00:20:22 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | I could easily be doing something stupid since I am setting this up for the first time | 00:20:53 |
| Charles ⚡️ | Do you have an xdg desktop portal that has a filepicker handler installed? | 00:20:57 |
| Charles ⚡️ | https://or.computer.surgery/charles/dotfiles/-/blob/8bcb46bf8f197c6d0ee6276db1ca3bef627b46a0/nixos/conf/graphical/minimal-compositor.nix#L6-13 you can use KDE's like this | 00:23:12 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | I have xfce thunar installed, but I have not config anything
I guess that is where I messed up? | 00:27:26 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | This is what I did config
xdg.portal = {
enable = true;
wlr.enable = true;
# gtk portal needed to make gtk apps happy
extraPortals = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ];
};

I guess that is where I messed up? for like the third time, the filepicker that gets used is dependent upon the xdg desktop portal(s) in use | 00:29:53 |
| Charles ⚡️ | so unless you can find an xdg desktop portal implementation that uses whatever random filepicker you want, then you'll have to settle for either KDE's or GNOME's | 00:30:28 |
| Charles ⚡️ | if you change xdg-desktop-portal-gtk to xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, then it'll use GNOME's filepicker | 00:31:50 |
| Charles ⚡️ | (i think) | 00:31:59 |
| Charles ⚡️ | afaik those are the only two options | 00:32:13 |
| Charles ⚡️ | * afaik KDE and GNOME are the only two options | 00:32:32 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | Aha, that's what I get for doing this so late, poor reading comprehension
I guess I will try to change to gnome (I just hope this wont download all of gnome) | 00:34:05 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | I also hope that will solve the real issue that steam can't find any part of my file structure | 00:34:50 |
| Charles ⚡️ |
If I select "Add Drive" I only get the old Steam picker, but it is not listing any directory
this is just a display bug, using an xdg desktop portal with a filepicker will fix this

I also hope that will solve the real issue that steam can't find any part of my file structure i.e. yes it will | 00:36:05 |
 @2xsaiko:tchncs.de | that's new right? steam using the portal file picker | 00:49:09 |
| @2xsaiko:tchncs.de | very cool in any case | 00:49:13 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | Well I will try this when after sleep since I can't seem to follow any instruction
Thanks for the help | 00:54:22 |
| Charles ⚡️ | In reply to @2xsaiko:tchncs.de
that's new right? steam using the portal file picker if new is measured on the order of years, yes | 00:57:12 |

| Charles ⚡️ | april | 00:59:49 |
| Charles ⚡️ | so actually more recent than i thought for some reason | 00:59:57 |
|  ·☽•Nameless☆•777 · changed their profile picture. | 04:39:22 |
|  iopq joined the room. | 08:38:19 |
| iopq | So I have two competing issues: if I enable Wayland, StarCraft in wine is a black screen with a cursor (buttons work but I don't know where I'm clicking), without wayland OBS legit just crashes the X11 session when turned on and starcraft is running
I'm updating my flake to see if a newer version of something fixes this, but it's hard to search the internet for issues this specific since it's wine/wayland related | 08:38:48 |
