<asimovc>riteo: hi again
<asimovc>i need help with xdg-portals and flatpak
angerisagiftjoined
<asimovc>i'm using ungoogled chromium and need to enable it to get my mic to talk online and screensharing
<asimovc>i currently can't get these
<riteo>asimovc: AFAIK microphone access is kinda unrelated to portals
<riteo>(if not totally, I kinda remember an in-between thing but I don't think it's used)
<riteo>you'll need pipewire for that and screen sharing
<asimovc>i installed
<asimovc>from community
<asimovc>and changed the dbus to enable when build it
<riteo>mh and you started it?
<riteo>it's a user daemon
<riteo>oh also you need to start your de with a special dbus command to initialize the environment
<riteo>it's kinda complicated I think I should send you a guide or smth
<riteo>wait, I have one!
<riteo>from yours truly
<riteo>https://codeberg.org/Riteo/kiss-scripts/src/branch/main/doc/flatpak-dbus-and-friends.md
<riteo>I'm a dumby I completely forgot about my absolutely beautiful set of tips and tricks
<riteo>there's even a gaming section
<riteo>you might need to google some details like how the xdg portal configuration file works or what value to set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to (I think it's your DE name) but this should be a good overview of what you need to do to setup this kind of stuff
<riteo>oh one last thing, I've not documented pipewire there because it's literally a `pipewire & pipewire-pulse &` away
<riteo>but there's a configuration trick too
<asimovc>yup
<asimovc>started it in .profile and put dbus-run-session
<asimovc>i will see your scripts
<asimovc>and test
<riteo>oh asimovc you know what you could try
<riteo>com.saivert.pwvucontrol is a flatpak pavucontrol-like interface for pipewire
<riteo>should let you see what a flatpak app is seeing
<riteo>also ncpamixer is a good native tool like pavucontrol (you will need pipewire-pulse)
<riteo>you might need to do the pipewire dbus config change I had to do because it saw only dummy devices with it
<riteo>s/with it/without it/
