  • LibreGaming -a has broken download links?

    LibreGaming -a has broken download links?

    Hi there,

    Love the project. I decided to try it out today after watching TechHut and used the installation through pip3. It got stuck while trying to download packages:

    "warning: failed to retrieve some files"

    lib32-mpg123-1.28.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst failed to download

    What seemed relevant from the console can be found here: https://pastebin.com/HZ7vU523 - To avoid the spam :) I'll be installing it using the other method instead but thought I'd share this if it's useful.

    The package manager is zypper all the packages are in the main + packman repo's

    syntax is just an easy "sudo zypper install" If you want you can firstadd a hook to enable codecs, which also sets up packman "sudo zypper opi" then "opi codes"

  • Why python?

    Why python?

    Hey Ahmed, as a start i want to say thank you for your great work :) Second, I really was wondring, why python? i mean most of your calls are inside terminal anyways so why python in first place, why not just bash script? if you allow me (aka want) i can play around and try to make a bash script (i'm learning it and it would be a good challange) so do you want bash script along side your python script or just python?

    و عارف الأنجليزى بتاعى مش حلو اوى 😅

    openSUSE Tumbleweed, followed the instructions religiously and there is absolutely no .bashrc or .zshrc on any part, nor where the guide says nor in /LibreGaming, anywhere. It does not exist. Fix please, thanks.

    This is not an issue, but more of a question I can't find the answer to in the README section.

    With LibreGaming can you uninstall/delete older versions of proton-GE like with "protonUP"? https://github.com/AUNaseef/protonup maybe you two should combine forces and put proton up in your script?

    Is there a command to uninstall/delete all the packages/directories that LibreGaming installs?

    BTW: thank you for incredible fast answers and fix'es

    Broken steamtinkerlaunch option

    steamtinkerlaunch is only available now via YAY. This patches replaces the installation method for STL to use YAY and also fixes al old but in this method since it was not using the rootCommand variable, making it fail because of root permissions. Not adding the rootCommand to YAY because it is not recommended.

  • proton-ge not installed to correct location

    proton-ge not installed to correct location

    For short, do not run LibreGaming -a.

    Details: Running LibreGaming -a with a clean home directory, there will be no .steam directory. When installing proton-ge using protonup, ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d will be auto created(mkdir -p maybe). However, at this time, steam has not been run. In fact, at first run, steam will creates ~/.steam directories and make a soft link of your real steam root to ~/.steam/root . For arch linux, it shoud be a soft link of ~/.local/share/Steam. These cause a problem that proton-ge is installed to a location which is not the real steam root. What's more, when steam starts, it detects ~/.steam/root already exists and will not create the soft link for you.

    Fix option 1: To solve this problem, do not run -a option with a clean install. Run-p after open steam at least once.

    Fix option 2: Or just run -a and manually fix it. For arch linux, this can be fixed through following commands.

    mv ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d ~/.local/share/Steam && \
rmdir ~/.steam/root && \
ln -sf ~/.local/share/Steam ~/steam/root

    There is no need to repeat the code in this function to install all packages since the file already have methods for each step. If the user wants to install everything it should just be the same as choosing each option.

    I'm having a strange issue. I added the little script to .bashrc to add LibreGaming to the PATH. I can run LibreGaming commands without sudo fine. When I try to run LibreGaming --gaming or LibreGaming -g I get Please run LibreGaming with sudo or doas command for this flag. I then add sudo and get sudo: libregaming: command not found
