Unable to save media or files via Desktop on Linux, while Android works fine #6912
Comments
Same issue on Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, Signal 7.12.0, both Snap and official deb packages. |
Same here, also Kubuntu 22.04.4 and Signal 7.12.0 |
Same issue on Arch with version 7.12.0. The only way I've found to save images is to open it and drag the actual image to my file manager (which doesn't give any indication of dragging anything, but still works). This doesn't work with videos or other file types, though, because they can't be dragged. Also when clicking the download button, this gets written to the journal, as well as to stderr if Signal is started from a terminal:

Same issue on Arch linux wtih version 7.12.0. |
Thanks for the reports. 7.11 introduced a new Electron version (v30), which is possibly related. I've created an Electron Fiddle gist here: https://gist.github.com/trevor-signal/95c543c5e7cd398c6957c78b5cc9fe94. I'd love to know if the save dialog opens on:
Thanks for your help! |
There is no problem with the opening of the save dialog. It's just after the save dialog is closed with "Save", nothing happens. |
Others, can you share debug logs? We're having difficulty reproducing. |
Another debug log: https://debuglogs.org/desktop/7.12.0/3c05aa67fa8f85922db87ba1cf7e02a474325806f232b17c8c3595c2da1cc9fd.gz Maybe mentioning that I'm running Signal Desktop in a Wayland session helps? |
Yes, I'm also on Wayland. |
I have tested as you say, only in 29.1.5 opens file dialog, with 30 and 31 file dialog does not even open, I'm using xorg on Arch. |
I am running on Xorg. Fiddle opens dialog fine on all versions, but as @arcivanov said both in the description and in the comment, nothing is actually saved. |
For what it’s worth, this is unrelated to flatpak. If I run the
@trevor-signal I’ve slightly modified your fiddle to actually display the file path returned by
In affected versions, the dialog looks considerably different. Given that and the regression range, it’s a safe bet that this regression was caused by electron#42110. |
While experimenting with this, I found a work-around. Initially, the Save File dialog incorrectly displays “/” above the file list. Click “Home” first, which will make it display “Home” there (listed files don’t change but some icons do). Then you can select directory/file name and saving will work. There seems to be some issue with the directory paths. |

It worked for me!!! |
can confirm this worked for me too!! |
Confirm this works for me too! Great job! |
Yes, it works. Thx! |
Indeed the dialog initially points to I tried changing the dialog prompt to |
Using a supported version?
