I'VE READ THE WIKI PAGE.

After trying various methods at screensharing, I've installed vesktop. when running vesktop in a terminal window I am given these errors when I click the screensharing button:

[3:0324/200127.801067:ERROR:screen_capture_portal_interface.cc(48)] Failed to request session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop

**Web based screen sharing does not work also

dreamy holly Mar 25, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

yeah

marsh crown Mar 25, 2024, 3:10 AM

@dreamy holly have you enabled Wayland support for Vesktop?

dreamy holly Mar 25, 2024, 3:11 AM

#

marsh crown <@561979522099183623> have you enabled Wayland support for Vesktop?

wdym?

#

also other important notes:
xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr are installed

PipeWire is installed

systemctl --user show-environment returns the following:

@dreamy holly Install xeyes and run it. Then move your mouse inside vesktop and check if the eyes move?

dreamy holly Mar 25, 2024, 3:14 AM

#

the eyes dont move anywhere unless im in the xeyes window

marsh crown Mar 25, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

okay so you are running it under wayland then

dreamy holly Mar 25, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

yes

#

i know im running wayland

#

sway is wayland

marsh crown Mar 25, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

no

#

I mean

#

by default, Vesktop runs under XWayland

#

you'd have to set your electron flags to specifically use Wayland, or pass the arguments to Vesktop

#

in the .desktop file

#

this is what I had to do on Wayfire:

#

would this error not be the most important?
ERROR:screen_capture_portal_interface.cc(48)] Failed to request session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop

marsh crown Mar 25, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

how about systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

#

Also that previous log for -portal is weird, compared to mine which has these lines at the end:

Mar 25 10:22:58 dex-um780 xdg-desktop-por[1351]: Choosing wlr.portal for org.freedesktop.impl.portal.ScreenCast via the deprecated UseIn key

dreamy holly Mar 25, 2024, 3:33 AM

#

marsh crown how about `systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal-wlr`

     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr.service; static)

#

FOUND AN ERROR 🎉 🎉 🎉

marsh crown Mar 25, 2024, 3:33 AM

#

ok

#

so stop your xdg-desktop-portal service

#

and then user start the -wlr service

#

then user start the -portal service

#

and check the systemctl status

dreamy holly Mar 25, 2024, 3:34 AM

#

so just

#

systemctl stop xdg-desktop-portal
systemctl start xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
systemctl start xdg-desktop-portal

marsh crown Mar 25, 2024, 3:35 AM

#

systemctl --user start xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
systemctl --user start xdg-desktop-portal

dreamy holly Mar 25, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

marsh crown ``` systemctl --user start xdg-desktop-portal-wlr systemctl --user start xdg-des...

#

now just

#

marsh crown Mar 25, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

then check systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal.service

dreamy holly Mar 25, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

marsh crown Mar 25, 2024, 3:36 AM
