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.

If you are running i3, see comment by cprn: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nexusmods-app-bin#comment-1016570

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.

When upgrading from v0.5.x, remove old data directory

rm -Rf ~/.local/share/NexusMods.App

See: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/releases/tag/v0.6.0

This package seems pretty out of date. I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering what's going on.

0.5.3 contains some major changes for package maintainers. The docs should cover most of it. Importantly, we changed how we handle NXM links, and how we provide the .desktop file.
