Trying to manually activate this is what appears.

Linuxmint 22 wayland is my distro and i have downloaded xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (package) via the software manager, latest ubuntu version 0.7.1-1build2.

Have downloaded Wireplumber and pipewire together with some related packages to pipewire.

Hi, I'm just a regular user so take my hint with a grain of salt, but I'd first check here: https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/wiki/%22It-doesn't-work%22-Troubleshooting-Checklist

I'm noticing from your logs you're not using portals.conf, so I'd first try creating ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portals/<compositor>-portals.conf
where <compositor> is your current compositor as defined by $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

For a sane default I would use this for portals.conf

[preferred]
default=gtk
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.ScreenCast=wlr
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Screenshot=wlr
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Inhibit=none

HTH.

Alright did plenty of things to fix the systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal.service error reports and that is :

  1. remove any mention of gnome from /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/ on all .portals and the x-cinnamon.portals.conf and force the wlr.portals by replacing UseIn=wlroots;sway;Wayfire;river;phosh;Hyprland; with UseIn=X-Cinnamon;MATE;XFCE; (;MATE;XFCE I think are redundant and can be ignored, what is important here is X-Cinamon as XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=X-Cinnamon)
    In xapp.portal and xapp-gnome-keyring.portal their UseIn=X-Cinnamon;MATE;XFCE; I replaced with UseIn=wlroots;sway;Wayfire;river;phosh;Hyprland; so they wont be used, they could be removed i think but havent tested it so proceed with caution.
    I created the folder at /home/YOURNAME/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/ and with a script named x-cinnamon-portals.conf with the contents you provided.

  2. The contents of x-cinnamon.portals.conf located at /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal I replaced with
    [preferred]
    default=xapp;gtk;
    org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.wlr

  3. I installed dbus-broker from software manager as I saw a lot of people saying without it the system didnt function correctly

Now with systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal.service I get:

 ● xdg-desktop-portal.service - Portal service

Eh, difficult to say, at this point your best bet is to start xdpw yourself and try to get some logs for devs to have a look at.

Stop your xdg-desktop-portal-wlr user service and start it manually in debug mode with:

 /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr -r -l DEBUG

Whats the equivalent command for that in linuxmint/ubuntu based distros? Don't use arch currently.

The command should be the same, you'll need to find out where your distro installs the xdpw executable

Actually you can just cat the service and find the ExecStart bit:

systemctl --user cat xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

Ok so you should run:

/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr -r -l DEBUG

And try to activate the portal again. Just make sure you've stopped the user service first.

This is likely the issue:

Compositor doesn't support zwlr_screencopy_manager_v1

Again, I'm no developer here so please don't take my word on this, but I suspect xdpw just doesn't work on Cinnamon, which I got is your current DE?

I suppose you've already tried the regular xdg-desktop-portal-xapp? Here it says screen cast is supported, not sure if in wayland

Tried it, seems like it doesn't work correctly since for example on OBS theres no display capture unless i open apps with x11 config and it displays just a black screen.
Seems like its impossible atm unless xdg-desktop-portal-wlr it starts accepting cinnamon.

Anyways I found the fix to my problem for not being able to use discord share screen and obs.

For discord go to system settings then Start up Applications and find discord. Select it and on the edit startup program window put on the COmmand box : env XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 discord /usr/bin/Discord and save. Do the same for the discord desktop icon by going properties and on the command box put the same as we did previously.
Now discord share screen should not load for infinity and youll be able to share a specific window of your choice. Sharing the entire screen will display only a black screen.

For obs open the terminal and put
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb obs
Obs should start and now select window capture as display capture is broken. On window capture select the screens of your choice and youre good.

Thats all from me so I will let this open, any dev that sees the issues and any reports here can close this thread later.
