Hi all,
I’ve a few questions about what to expect from Ubuntu for the desktop:
We (users) report bugs and they are dormant.
Ubuntu, and i think all linux distro have a problem with xdg-desktop-portal, because if you try to save a file to a samba share from firefox, chrome or any snap app you can’t.a
This is something that is a regression from 2022, but I don’t see nothing to solve this.
So the questions:
Is Ubuntu desktop a priority?
If I pay assistance this going to be solved?
Sorry for this questions (and my bad english), and is only for me to understand what to expect.
Regards
Miguel
PS: I hoppe no one take this questions in a bad way, is not what i pretend
We’ve been working on that specific issue, but upstream hasn’t accepted it yet.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/merge_requests/67
We’ll continue to work on that and ultimately distro patch it if we need to.

Thank’s, for the answer.
I’m following all the bugs about this (ubuntu bugs, firefox bugs, and xdg bugs) but I don’t know that you are Sergio.
Is possible to tell me how to apply you patch?
And again thanks for you answer and efforts
I am not sergio, but we work together on the desktop team. I wouldn’t recommend trying to build it from source yourself. We will get the patch into ubuntu as soon as we can, but there’s a process. Thanks for your patience.

Now that the topic seems to be more clearly defined, changing the name of this topic to something more useful.
