Several Issues I've had after fresh install XFCE

[zeitlos]

Hello. Coming to Garuda after hearing excellent things (Manjaro user) from SwitchedToLinux.

I used the installer to install Brave and Chromium browsers, the other ones I’ve installed work but these two will not load.
I’ve tried running them from the terminal and does not load it says

× chromium
[96417:96449:0420/023516.512607:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(576)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get: object_path= /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser”
[96417:96449:0420/023516.512659:ERROR:select_file_dialog_linux_portal.cc(286)] Failed to read portal version property

I am not a hacker by any means but I’m interested in learning some of the Black Arch programs and was delighted this system offered to install a slew of these programs. I see Black Arch in the menu but I only see the programs that should be listed in this submenu under the Menu Editor and it appears none of them are actually installed, if I click to not show it from the Menu Editor and then for it to be shown and save it I get a location but the file there is not a program, for example they say:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.1
Type=Directory
Name=Automobile
Icon=distributor-logo-blackarch

Hello and welcome to the forum!

You should only install software using the Arch Linux package manager (pacman).

# pacman -S chromium

# pacman -S brave

Can’t respond. I’ll just go back to manjaro. Thanks for the help.

@zeitlos

That’s all it says, I’m not sure how to find that it’s really that simple. It’s a fresh install can’t imagine you’d find anything out of the ordinary there.

You’re asking for help here because software that has nothing to do with Garuda doesn’t work, but you’re sure garuda-inxi won’t help us. Well then, as already mentioned in the template and again by me, it now goes to 412 Precondition Failed

Btw,

sudo pacman -S chromium

I’m not sure how to find that it’s really that simple.

It’s just a command; you type it into your terminal like this:

garuda-inxi

It has useful troubleshooting info like hardware specs, etc. At the moment, we don’t even know what desktop environment you installed. It is typically helpful to have some basic information to refer to.

You can edit your first post to add the inxi output in.

@zeitlos

I see Black Arch in the menu but I only see the programs that should be listed in this submenu under the Menu Editor and it appears none of them are actually installed

I’m not sure I follow what you are saying but check and see if it is this issue:

How create blackarch tools menu in garuda dragonize gaming edition?

Hello. I need u sopport, i have the garuda dragonized gaming edition, and I added the blackarch tools, and i would like add the blackarch tools in the applications menu. I tried installing some packages like 'blackarch-config*', blackarch-menus and archlinux-xdg-menu, but none generates the menu.

@zeitlos

Can’t respond.

Really not? Then why can I read that you can’t reply?
I had enabled your opening post for garuda-inxi to edit, but apparently the function doesn’t even exist on your OS.

Again, chromium works.

@SGS

sudo pacman -S chromium

@zeitlos

I am not a hacker by any means but I’m interested in learning some of the Black Arch programs

@zeitlos

Can’t respond. I’ll just go back to manjaro. Thanks for the help.

I guess learning a bit of Linux while you’re gone wouldn’t be out of order.
