Akregator: Enclosure / Save Link As fails with permission problem
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

In Akregator on Solus 4.3 Budgie, doing Enclosure / Save Link As downloads the file, then gives a "could not rename / check permissions" error.

The Akregator devs seem to think this is a Solus issue. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458669

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

  1. In Akregator, go to a feed item that has a file (maybe .mp3) enclosure on it.
  2. Right-click on the enclosure's link and select "Save Link As".
  3. See dialog as the file is downloaded.
  4. See dialog saying "Could not rename partial file /home/user1/Videos/FILENAME.mp3. Please check permissions."
  5. I have 755 permission to that directory.
  6. Tried "chmod a+w" on that dir, no change.
  7. Tried saving to Downloads dir instead, no change.
  8. "wget" of that link works.

System journal contains lines:

akregator[11543]: gtk_file_chooser_default_set_current_name: assertion 'impl->action == GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE || impl->action == GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_CREATE_FOLDER' failed

Thanks for the report, it is working as expected on plasma with the provided feed. My guess here is a missing kde dependency for non-plasma DE's.

Or could be an issue when using the GTK file picker instead of the KDE one.

Does xdg-desktop-portal-kde get installed? If not, does installing it resolve the issue?

Assigning to plasma apps maintainer. Installing xdg-desktop-portal-kde fixes it (confirmed by @algent) but maybe a common kde rundep is missing it as a dependency.

I could have tested it wrong.
The issue is still there even after installing xdg-desktop-portal-kde.

(akregator:68815): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 15:23:32.031: gtk_file_chooser_default_set_current_name: assertion 'impl->action == GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE || impl->action == GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_CREATE_FOLDER' failed

I am getting same error as reported.

I installed xdg-desktop-portal-kde, ps -ex showed it was not running, I rebooted, ps -ex showed it is running now, problem still exists in Akregator.

Do I have to change anything in environment, maybe ? env | sort shows:

@BillDietrich - is this still happening for you? I am not able to reproduce the bug with Akregator 5.23.2.
Also installed on my system, xdg-desktop-portal-kde, version: 5.27.6

Sorry, I'm 5 distros down the road since filing this bug report, I'm no longer on Solus, have no way to test it.
