In any app, if I open a file picker, the application spawning the filepicker freezes. According to journalctl, that xdg-desktop-portal core dumps. Any ideas? ```auto systemd-coredump[507446]: [šŸ”•] Process 505547 (xdg-desktop-por) of user 1000 dumped core.

This may be related to my recent vscode tribulations. On 42 stable, trying to save, save as, or open a file would hang. Iā€™m going back to 41 GTD for the time being. Glad itā€™s not just me. > [@VSCode hangs when opening or saving files](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/vscode-hangs-when-opening-or-saving-files/8627/6): > > I think that was in December, and I donā€™t recall what happened. The last few daysā€™ troubles have been biological, as I think I hosed some settings when setting up the encrypted drives, resulting in failure to boot. After all the restoring, the thing with vscode is bizarre. Donā€™t see how I could have caused that, unless it was from restoring my home from a backup, and having to chown the files. Maybe selinux got mad. person_shrugging Thanks for chiming in, I know you have many irons in many ā€¦ Edit: my log looks much like yours: > **** > > ā€“ Boot 106b55cf6acc4281b89c5f4139c515ed ā€“ > May 20 05:45:49 bluefin systemd[5041]: Starting xdg-desktop-portal.service - Portal serviceā€¦ > May 20 05:45:49 bluefin systemd[5041]: Started xdg-desktop-portal.service - Portal service. > May 20 05:45:49 bluefin xdg-desktop-por[6386]: g\_close(fd:33) failed with EBADF.
