You must use a desktop compatible with an XDG backend that supports the "App Chooser Portal": https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal#List_of_backends_and_interfaces

These have been listed as optional dependencies. You must install the XDG backend to suit your DE.

Apologies for marking this as out of date; I realize now that 0.12.0 doesn't actually have any binaries available for download. I don't see a way for me to manually retract having marked it that way, so I guess the only way for that to happen is for the maintainer to do it.

The app needs xdg-desktop-portal-gtk to function properly. A DE-specific desktop portal is not going to do it (in Hyprland's case at least). See https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/issues/3236#issuecomment-2901064385

@Abzie Any reason to specify all these XDG Desktop Portal implementations individually as optional dependencies over just using xdg-desktop-portal-impl as a required dependency?

App is missing dependencies. Neither "Log in" nor "Give Feedback" buttons work out of the box, spitting exceptions that end with:

No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.OpenURI”

Solved by installing the implementation of missing xdg-desktop-portal interface and setting it up for the environment, e.g.

yay -S --asdeps xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
systemctl --user import-environment XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP # this env var must exist
systemctl --user show-environment # make sure it's set correctly, e.g. to "i3"
systemctl --user restart xdg-desktop-porta xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
  • a file that says which portal i3 should use:
# ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/i3-portals.conf
[preferred]
default=gtk;

@thebigboo Please ensure you have the nexusmods-app-bin.install file in the same directory as the PKGBUILD, or use an AUR helper.

I misread the error now, I will push a fix shortly.
