Description
Adds a single
exec-onceline toautostart.confthat force-starts both portal services on boot, fixing browser/OBS/Discord screen sharing.Changes
Context
Hyprland never activates
graphical-session.target. Bothxdg-desktop-portal.serviceandxdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.servicedepend on that target viaRequisite=/PartOf=, so they fail to start on boot with a dependency error. This breaks screencast entirely — Meet, Discord, and OBS all rely on these services. The fix force-starts both with--ignore-dependencies, bypassing the broken dependency check. Builds on the workaround originally posted by @anikmar in #1604, extended here to also coverxdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.service, which needs the same fix separately.How Has This Been Tested?
Confirmed
xdg-desktop-portal.serviceandxdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.serviceboth goactive (running)after a fresh boot, and screen sharing works in Google Meet (browser) and OBS (PipeWire source).Checklist

Additional Notes
Minimal, single-line diff in
autostart.conf— no other files touched.
