@mcnesium:matrix.org@mcnesium:matrix.org 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

@jaafar:kde.org@jaafar:kde.orgFile 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

Other apps where file pickers don't work:

  • Steam (native)

@jaafar:kde.org@jaafar:kde.orgMy 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

Shot in the dark, but...

Try adding zenity to your $PATH, e.g. via environment.systemPackages. If that doesn't work I am afraid you'll have to strace

Will try once I'm back on the computer

@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)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 patches17:34:10

@jaafar:kde.org@jaafar:kde.org P.S. how do I strace in this case? 17:34:54
