### File Picker Doesn't Work
If the file picker doesn't work in applications like [Discord](/wiki/discord.md) for example first
check if the desktop portal is installed.
For that search for the package `xdg-desktop-portal` or a similar named one using your
[package manager](/wiki/linux/package_manager.md).
If it is installed check if it starts up correctly by using the command
`systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal` as described in the
[SystemD entry](/wiki/linux/systemd.md#startstopenabledisable-a-service-and-retrieve-its-logs).
A possible error is `cannot open display`.
To fix this you can run the following commands to temporarily make the file picker work.
```sh
systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY XAUTHORITY
systemctl --user restart xdg-desktop-portal
```
If that works make sure the Xorg configs are sourced for users aswell.
It is possible that the following code block is missing in the local `.xinitrc`.
This would create similar errors to the ones experienced.
```sh
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
```
