|
An XDG Desktop Portal is a program that lets other applications communicate with
|
|
the compositor through D-Bus.
|
|
|
|
A portal implements certain functionalities, such as opening file pickers or
|
|
screen sharing.
|
|
|
|
[xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland](https://github.com/hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland)
|
|
is Hyprland's xdg-desktop-portal implementation. It allows for screensharing,
|
|
global shortcuts, etc.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
Throughout this document, `xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland` will be referred to as
|
|
XDPH.

XDPH doesn't implement a file picker. For that, it is recommended to install
|
|
`xdg-desktop-portal-gtk` alongside XDPH.

## Installing
|
|
|
|
{{< tabs items="Arch Linux,NixOS,Gentoo,Manual" >}}
|
|
|
|
{{< tab "Arch Linux" >}}
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or, for -git:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
yay -S xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{< /tab >}}
|
|
|
|
{{< tab "NixOS" >}}
|
|
|
|
On NixOS, XDPH is already enabled by the
|
|
[NixOS module for Hyprland](../../Nix/Hyprland-on-NixOS), through
|
|
`programs.hyprland.enable = true;`.

## Unmask dependencies
|
|
|
|
```plain {filename="/etc/portage/profile/package.unmask"}
|
|
dev-qt/qtbase
|
|
dev-qt/qtwayland
|
|
dev-qt/qtdeclarative
|
|
dev-qt/qtshadertools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Apply necessary useflags
|
|
|
|
```plain {filename="/etc/portage/package.use"}
|
|
dev-qt/qtbase opengl egl eglfs gles2-only
|
|
dev-qt/qtdeclarative opengl
|
|
sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal screencast
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Unmask dependencies and xdph
|
|
|
|
```plain {filename="/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords"}
|
|

|
dev-qt/qtwayland
|
|
dev-qt/qtdeclarative
|
|
dev-qt/qtshadertools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
btw those are the useflags that I have tested, you could also test others.

## Installation

## Usage
|
|
|
|
XDPH is automatically started by D-Bus, once Hyprland starts.
|
|
|
|
To check if everything is OK is, try to screenshare anything, or opening OBS and
|
|
select the PipeWire source. If XDPH is running, a Qt menu will pop up asking you
|
|
what to share.
|
|
|
|
XDPH will work on other wlroots compositors, but features available only on
|
|
Hyprland will not work (e.g. window sharing).
|
|
|
|
For a nuclear option, you can use this script and `exec-once` it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
killall -e xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
|
|
killall xdg-desktop-portal
|
|
/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland &
|
|
sleep 2
|
|
/usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal &
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Adjust the paths if they're incorrect.
|
|
|
|
## Share picker doesn't use the system theme
|
|
|
|
Try one or both:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd --all
|
|
systemctl --user import-environment QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If it works, add it to your config in `exec-once`.
|
|
|
|
## Using the KDE file picker with XDPH
|
|
|
|
XDPH does not implement a file picker and uses the GTK one as a fallback by
|
|
default (see `/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf`). If you want
|
|
to use the KDE file picker but let XDPH handle everything else, create a file
|
|
`~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf` with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```ini {filename="~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf"}
|
|
[preferred]
|
|
default = hyprland;gtk
|
|
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.FileChooser = kde
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can read more about this in the
|
|
[xdg-desktop-portal documentation in the Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal).
|
|
Note that some applications like Firefox may require additional configuration to
|
|
use the KDE file picker.
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
|
|
If you get long app launch times, or screensharing does not work, consult the
|
|
logs.
|
|
|
|
`systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland`
|
|
|
|
If you see a crash, it's likely you are missing either `qt6-wayland` or
|
|
`qt5-wayland`.
|
|
|
|
If the portal does not autostart, does not function when manually started,
|
|
and does not produce any error logs, it's very likely your [XDG env variables](../../Configuring/Environment-variables/#xdg-specifications)
|
|
are messed up
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
screencopy {
|
|
max_fps = 60
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Config file `~/.config/hypr/xdph.conf` allows for these variables:
|
|
|
|
### category screencopy
|
|
|
|
| variable | description | type | default value |
|
|
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ---- | ------------- |
|
|
| max_fps | Maximum fps of a screensharing session. 0 means no limit. | int | 120 |
|
|
| allow_token_by_default | If enabled, will tick the "Allow restore token" box by default | bool | false |
|
