I suspect you're running into one (or both) of these two common
problems:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sway#Screen_sharing_does_not_work
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sway#Failed_to_connect_to_user_bus

Please ensure you have a D-Bus user session.

HTH, have a lovely day!

How do I ensure I have a dbus user session running? Those links just lead
to forum posts with varying issues and I'm not sure which to follow.
Here are the dbus-related process I have running:

Make sure to wrap it in dbus-run-session. See
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sway#Starting_Sway

Then add the

exec --no-startup-id dbus-update-activation-environment --all

... line from the screen sharing troubleshooting entry.

I'm not sure what you mean by *wrap it in dbus-run-session*.
I use SDDM as my display manager and I start Sway from there.
My sway config also contains this line, as previously mentioned:

*# Enable screen sharingexec --no-startup-id
dbus-update-activation-environment --all*

However, I noticed that if I try running this line by itself in a terminal,
I get this output:


*jamie@localhost ~ $ exec --no-startup-id
dbus-update-activation-environment --allbash: exec: --: invalid optionexec:
usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [argument ...]] [redirection ...]*

Sway configs aren't shells scripts. In shell, you'd run
'dbus-update-activation-environment --all' alone. Does qdbus --session
output any errors or just a bunch of names and numbers?

SDDM should set up a D-Bus session bus, I believe.

I'm quite sure that your D-Bus session bus is not working properly
because of the error you initially posted.

I have tried running *dbus-run-session sway* manually (sway is already
running when I ran this but I wanted to see what errors I got regarding
xdg-desktop-portal) and here is what I get as output:

Sincerely,

I was able to make some progress after adding the *screenshare* flag
globally to my make.conf file and re-emerging @world.
Now, I can get screen sharing working when using tools like OBS, so the
core functionality works.
However, when I try using google meet to share my screen, it will last for
about 10 seconds before crashing.
The following message appears in dmesg during the crash:

*[ 371.878847] notification-da[4638]: segfault at 3 ip 0000000000000003 sp
00007ffeb603abc8 error 14 in notification-daemon[55fb9db8c000+7000] likely
