SUMMARY I was running into an issue with OBS where the screen/window capture options just wouldn't show up. I did some more investigation and found that it depends on xdg-desktop-portal. When I check on the service after running OBS it crashes with a segfault. I go into more detail, and provide hardware/software information in [this forum post](https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=225&t=173254). I'd like to provide more debugging information, but all the pages I can find talk about debugging applications, not necessarily services. I was referred here by a support volunteer in the OBS community discord. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. `systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal` - should be functioning normally 2. `obs` - open up OBS 3. `systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal` - segfault, implying OBS caused it in some way. OBSERVED RESULT Crashing on OBS startup resulting in missing screen/window capture options. EXPECTED RESULT OBS working as intended SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS System information: Operating System: KDE neon 5.23 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.11.0-40-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Package Information: xdg-desktop-portal Version: 1.6.0-1 xdg-desktop-portal-kde Version: 5.23.3-0xneon+20.04+focal+release+build35 xdg-desktop-portal-gtk Version: 1.6.0-1build1 obs-studio Version: 27.1.3-0obsproject1~focal pipewire Version: 0.3.33-0+20.04+focal+release+build42
It's xdg-desktop-portal crashing, not our xdg-desktop-portal-kde backend. You will have to open a bug here https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/.
