| how does the process of updating gnome extensions work? there does not seem to be a package with version number or hash, that can be updated. the "source" link of gnomeExtensions.user-stylesheet-font goes here | 09:09:36 | |

| I think you have showed me that before. Thanks again, I will try to remember 😅 | 09:41:03 | |

| File picker works in some apps, doesn't work in others. For example, the Attach button in messaging apps like Fractal (Matrix client), Telegram Desktop, or Legcord should bring up a file picker, but doesn't. Adding a picture to the list of backgrounds in Settings has the same problem, and likewise in some of my Flatpak apps. File picker in other apps works, though, like WINE apps, Firefox, and KeePassXC, but I'm guessing the file picker in GTK3 apps is different from the one in GTK4/Libadwaita apps? | 16:47:41 | |

| My wild guess is that it's something that has to do with my choice of display manager, which is COSMIC Comp rather than GDM. I know that GNOME needs GDM for "some features", but I don't know if the file picker is one of them. | 16:55:06 | |

In reply to @jaafar:kde.org Shot in the dark, but... Try adding | 17:32:43 | |
In reply to @grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deWill try once I'm back on the computer | 17:34:08 | |
| Usually file pickers are opened via dbus, but some things directly call zenith (and expect it to exist). I know this is the case for sdl3 (which we patch to actually use an absolute path for zenith), I suspect there might be apps that lack such patches | 17:34:10 | |

P.S. how do I strace in this case? | 17:34:54 | |
In reply to @jaafar:kde.orgYou just strace zed or whatever and upload the log to somewhere. Ideally triggering the behavior, then killing by keyboard interrupt to avoid unnecessary log spam. And also ideally using a problematic program that doesn't itself spam a bunch of logs, anything non-gui would be appreciated but probably a tall ask by problem domain | 17:36:34 | |
| But try the zenith thing first, that's less effort and has a non-zero chance of working (though, admittedly, that chance is likely more like 20% if I had to guess...) | 17:38:09 | |

| You probably also want to make sure you don't have apparmor or anything set to block dbus calls, that has bitten me in the past too. But very few people actually try to use that stuff on nix... | 17:42:06 | |
In reply to @grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deBefore trying your suggestions, I tried installing Nautilus since I didn't have it. And now the file pickers seem to work. | 19:05:09 | |
| huh | 19:05:20 | |
| Yeah. | 19:06:43 | |
