firefox snap can not open any file dialogs |
Have ubuntu-desktop-minimal depend on xdg-desktop-portal-gnome |
|

description |
With ubuntu 22.04 firefox comes as snap package by default.
it is not possible to open any file dialog. save graphics as, save html page, import certificate never opens a file dialog.
firefox is completly useless without that file dialog.
(the root case is ubuntu uses snap)
further: in snap store firefox has no icon and it's called firefox not "Firefox". |
I propose having ubuntu-desktop-minimal depend on
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome | xdg-desktop-portal-backend
Currently, there is only a Recommends on xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.
If a system doesn't have that dependency installed, then desktop snaps including our critical Firefox and Chromium snaps have severe missing functionality.

I propose having ubuntu-desktop-minimal depend on

Currently, there is only a Recommends on xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.
If a system doesn't have that dependency installed, then desktop snaps including our critical Firefox and Chromium snaps have severe missing functionality.

If a system doesn't have a portal backend installed, then desktop snaps including our critical Firefox and Chromium snaps have severe missing functionality. So we need to make this a harder dependency
ubuntu-desktop-minimal is a special germinate package and doesn't accept alternate dependencies. An alternate dependency is needed because we want to allow people to use a different portal backend and the easiest way to use a different portal backend is to install the backend you want and uninstall the ones you don't want.

Impact
------
Because ubuntu-desktop-minimal only recommends xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, it is easy for users to accidentally not have it installed. If it (Or another desktop portal backend are not installed), it breaks critical functionality for both the Firefox snap and Chromium snaps. It also breaks countless other snaps.
Test Case
---------
ubuntu-session and gnome-session should depend on xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
It should be possible to uninstall xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and keep xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. (This allows someone to keep using GTK3 and avoid the libadwaita dialogs which may be easier for third party themes.)
What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
This just adds an additional dependency.
I believe the portal backends currently open by default in the locale sort order, so xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is preferred if installed, then xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, then xdg-desktop-portal-kde, then xdg-desktop-portal-wlr. Which coincidentally is the order we would want.
How This Was Fixed

Therefore, we are handling this with a dependency in ubuntu-session. We are also doing this with gnome-session since that's a popular alternative for people who want a vanilla GNOME experience.

After installing or uninstall portal packages, you should log out and log back in to make sure the user services get stopped and started correctly.
