 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | bummer | 15:20:46 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | And I guess there's not some proprietary module for that either | 15:21:21 |
 K900 | No | 15:24:03 |
 @ice-cube69:matrix.org | Atemu: Thanks, but I'm already using it. For now I've set my laptop to hibernate on lid close, so that's a cool hack | 16:59:44 |

 @mildras:one.ems.host | Hi, I am having some issue with making Steam use my installed file pcuker (Thunar)
IS there anything I need to define that is specific for NixOS? | 23:28:20 |

 @2xsaiko:tchncs.de | steam only uses its own horrible one afaik | 23:54:36 |

| @mildras:one.ems.host | It can use the "native" one
On my PC it is using my KDE file picker
And my problem is deeper then that since I can't seems to add any 2nd storage library
If I select "Add Drive" I only get the old Steam picker, but it is not listing any directory | 00:13:28 |

steam only uses its own horrible one afaik It uses the xdg desktop portal on Wayland at least | 00:13:34 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | This is on wayland and I have desktop portal installed | 00:14:09 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | Do I have to config desktop portal? | 00:14:19 |
| @2xsaiko:tchncs.de | oh really? okay then, I think I've never seen that even on wayland | 00:14:20 |
| @mildras:one.ems.host | * Do I have to config xdg desktop portal? | 00:14:25 |
| @2xsaiko:tchncs.de | portal file picker is dependent on the desktop portal | 00:14:30 |
| @2xsaiko:tchncs.de | I think the plasma portal will only use the Qt file picker | 00:14:55 |
| @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 |
