xdg-desktop-portal 1.17.x introduces a new way to select which portals will be used for which desktop environments, modelled on mimeapps.list: - each desktop environment should provide a file like /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/ukui-portals.conf - the filename is ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf where ${DESKTOP} is the desktop environment's entry in $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (the same as the DesktopNames from /usr/share/{x,wayland-}sessions/*.desktop), folded to lower case - sysadmins and users can override this via files named portals.conf or ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf in various locations like /etc/xdg-desktop-portal and ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal Please see portals.conf(5) or its source code https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/doc/portals-conf.rst for full details. As a backwards-compatibility mechanism, x-d-p will fall back to trying to guess the most appropriate portals from the portals' UseIn= fields, but it will log warnings when it does that, and anyway Debian doesn't currently ship any portal backends that are flagged as suitable for UKUI. Please add a ukui-portals.conf to tell x-d-p more explicitly what backends UKUI is meant to be using by default. For example, if the intention is to use x-d-p-gtk, the way to write that would be: [preferred] default=gtk; The desktop environment (either ukui-session-manager or some larger metapackage) should probably also have a Recommends, or at least a Suggests, on whatever portals would be most appropriate for it. For an example of a more complex portal configuration, see gnome-session: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-session/-/commit/b201c9c40e3adc7bf0b1c3504bef4c8602aac31d Thanks, smcv -- This is part of a mass bug filing: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2023/08/msg00311.html
