Ubuntu Save/Open File Dialog Bug
This is a bug I'm all to familiar with. This is the second Linux machine of mine to experience it. To explain what happens is that sporadically my save file/ open file dialog box will stop appearing, completely blocking from uploading or saving any kind of file from the internet. I still don't know what causes the issue, especially since both times it cropped up after a fresh install. I hope at some point Canonical can fix this. Thank you to the random user on stack overflow who happened to have the solution after many minutes of Googling. If you're reading this and find value in what I'm talking about you should go upvote their solution. The solution is to just run the following command in your terminal sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
