Issue: Flatpak Apps Unable to Open Files via File Picker

I’m experiencing an issue with Flatpak applications where they fail to open files using the file picker. This occurs in multiple applications, such as:

  • GNOME Boxes (Flatpak): When selecting an ISO file, nothing happens.
  • Bottles (Flatpak): Selecting an executable does not trigger any response.

Debugging Information:

Checking journalctl, I found this potentially relevant error message:

xdg-desktop-por[7039]: Failed to register file:///mnt/1284DEF384DED875/iso/cachyos-desktop-linux-241221.iso: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not activate remote peer 'org.freedesktop.portal.Documents': startup job failed

Hi, maybe something to do with this Problem:

This is already fixed in 6.13.2 for us.

I am on the 6.13.2 and the issue is still there for me

It’s likely a different issue then. What DE/WM is this?

Tried both plasma and hyprland and tried the lts kernel and the issue persists

Anyone experiencing this ?

Sorry, I don’t do flatpaks, so I wouldn’t notice.

Hey guys I fixed This!.There was an issue with .local/share/flatpak/db/documents, so I removed it and ran flatpak repair, which resolved the problem for me.
