This is a classic Discord-on-Linux issue, not a CachyOS-only problem. Since Discord Web works in Chrome but the Discord app doesn’t, the problem is almost certainly Wayland + Electron + PipeWire related. I’ll give you fixes in order of likelihood. Don’t restart unless I explicitly say so. #### KDE Plasma on CachyOS defaults to Wayland.[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: KDE Plasma on CachyOS defaults to Wayland.")

Good — that tells us something important. If Step 3 (forcing XWayland) didn’t fix it but Discord Web still works, then this is not a simple Wayland toggle issue anymore. At this point, one of these is true: 1. Your native Discord package is broken with PipeWire 2. xdg-desktop-portal is misbehaving on Plasma 3. You’re using the wrong Discord build (native vs flatpak mismatch) 4. KDE’s screen portal is stuck (very common) We’ll go surgical.

That combo is notoriously broken for screen streaming. OpenAsar actually makes it worse on Wayland.

Perfect — this is actually good news. Nothing is broken.

Alright. If even Flatpak Discord doesn’t stream, then we’re past “Discord being Discord” and into a broken Wayland screencast stack on KDE. I’m going to be very direct and very precise now.

Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop ### Assistant: Good — that output is the smoking gun.[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=65 "Edit section: Assistant: Good — that output is the smoking gun.") Good — that output is the smoking gun. We’re no longer guessing. No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal” This means the ScreenCast portal is NOT registered at all. So Discord (native, Flatpak, anything Electron-based) cannot screen share on Wayland on your system right now. Chrome Web works because Chrome bypasses this interface. #### 🔴 What this definitively means[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=66 "Edit section: 🔴 What this definitively means") * PipeWire is running ✅ * xdg-desktop-portal service exists ✅ * KDE ScreenCast portal is NOT exposing the interface ❌ This is a broken Plasma Wayland portal stack, not a Discord problem anymore. #### ⚠️ Important reality check (no sugarcoating)[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=67 "Edit section: ⚠️ Important reality check (no sugarcoating)") On KDE Plasma Wayland, when you see this exact error, there are only two real outcomes: 1. Spend hours/days rebuilding KDE + portals (often still flaky) 2. Switch to Plasma X11 and be done in 2 minutes I’ll give you both, but I strongly recommend option 2. ### ✅ OPTION A — GUARANTEED FIX (recommended)[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=68 "Edit section: ✅ OPTION A — GUARANTEED FIX (recommended)") ##### Switch to Plasma X11[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=69 "Edit section: Switch to Plasma X11") This is what many KDE users do quietly. ##### How:[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=70 "Edit section: How:") 1. Log out 2. On the login screen, click Session 3. Choose Plasma (X11) (NOT Wayland) 4. Log in 5. Open Discord (Flatpak or native) 6. Start streaming → works immediately 🎯 No flags 🎯 No portals 🎯 No hacks This will 100% fix your issue. ### 🧪 OPTION B — TRY to fix Wayland (NOT guaranteed)[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=71 "Edit section: 🧪 OPTION B — TRY to fix Wayland (NOT guaranteed)") Only do this if you’re stubborn about Wayland. ##### 1️⃣ Ensure ALL required packages exist[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=72 "Edit section: 1️⃣ Ensure ALL required packages exist") sudo pacman -S \ xdg-desktop-portal \ xdg-desktop-portal-kde \ pipewire \ wireplumber \ plasma-wayland-session ##### 2️⃣ Force KDE portal backend[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=73 "Edit section: 2️⃣ Force KDE portal backend") echo "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE" | sudo tee /etc/environment Log out & log back in (Wayland). ##### 3️⃣ Deep reset (again)[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=74 "Edit section: 3️⃣ Deep reset (again)") systemctl --user stop xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde pipewire wireplumber rm -rf ~/.cache/xdg-desktop-portal ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal systemctl --user start pipewire wireplumber xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde Re-test: qdbus6 org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast If it still errors → Wayland is a dead end here. #### 🧠 Final, honest verdict[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=75 "Edit section: 🧠 Final, honest verdict") * Your hardware is fine * Your OS is fine * Your Discord installs are fine * KDE Wayland ScreenCast is broken on your system * This is a known Plasma weakness, not user error If your goal is “I just want to stream”, then Plasma X11 is the correct choice right now. ##### Tell me:[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6964e172-93a0-8013-9baf-b12d96b905a2&action=edit§ion=76 "Edit section: Tell me:") * Are you willing to switch to Plasma X11? * Or do you want to keep Wayland at all costs?
