waydroid

[Jim]

Recently I installed Gnome on my computer running Kubuntu 24.04.1 so I 
could use Waydroid.  The problem I'm having is getting access to the 
files in the Download directory on the Waydroid installation.  The 
directory that I see as the internal storage is 
/home/delboy/.local/share/waydroid/data/0.  From outside Waydroid, I 
couldn't access anything in that directory.  Dolphin says it's empty.  
This was a problem as I wanted to use Dolphin to into or out of 
/home/delboy/.local/share/waydroid/data/0 or the directories under it.  
First i tried chmod +R 777 /home/delboy/.local/share/waydroid/data/0.  
Then I could see everything in that directory and add or delete files 
using Dolphin or a terminal window.  After I started Waydroid again, I 
found out that it reset the permissions and I no longer had access to 
/home/delboy/.local/share/waydroid/data/0 outside of Waydroid. Looking 
around online, I found out about access control lists. I tried sudo 
setfacl -R -m "u:delboy:rwx" /home/delboy/.local/share/waydroid/data/0/ 
and it worked. After opening and using Waydroid again and shutting it 
down, I still had access to the files in that directory and those under 
it.  However there remains one problem.  New files that are downloaded 
under Waydroid,  can be seen in Dolphin, but I can't open them in 
anything.  I get an error message saying that file can't be found.  I 
don't really like Gnome and prefer Plasma, so I have an Autostart script 
that runs each time I login to a Plasma session. it's sudo setfacl -R -m 
"u:delboy:rwx" /home/delboy/.local/share/waydroid/data/0/.  This gives 
me the access to the directory I want, but I'm wondering if there's a 
better way to do this.


Thanks
