open that to configure it
its enabled by default
hmm weird, i'm in a discord vc with it open in my tray and it's not displaying anything
i get this if i manually try to start it
did you configure it?
i've got the default options, is there anything i need to setup?
do i need to run it on startup?
i'll try enabling the startup option and restarting
thats what you have to do
Solution
to manually do it
the gui option didn't seem to work, it would just disable itself again. The terminal method did work tho
when i tried to enable it through the gui way, it would just have the checkbox unchecked when i had restarted
for "Run overlay on startup"
think the gui option is meant for normal systems that dont use rpm-ostree
@Trigg would know better since he is the dev of discover-overlay and can tell me if i am wrong 😅
this was under the bazzite section of the discover-overlay website lol
are there variants of bazzite that don't use rpm-ostree?
nope
that's strange, this overlay is dope tho, ty to trigg
well then the issue is that enabling discover-overlay on bazzite requires root however the configurator cant request it (or does not request it)
My apologies, I missed this whole thread.
How strange, why was my
/etc/default/discover-overlay user writable?
Worth me looking into this again.https://github.com/trigg/Discover/issues/320
Dropped an issue in for when I'm off work

it is
everything in /etc/ is owned by root and writeable
just have to sudoedit it
ah, I meant in this case simply writing to the file as user - not via sudo
I know it's not an issue in bazzite - I must have done something a bit more funky with my machine while I was testing it
Most likely you just copied it over as
root after having it edited as your normal user in your home dir 😉No, looking back, the file didn't exist on my machine when I worked the feature, so I had created the file owned by my user in that directory
