"Add to Steam" shortcut not functional on bazzite desktop with KDE

It seems like the context menu entry is present, but the script that drives the functionality is missing:

desktop image?

yes, the desktop image does this output help?

fix(desktop): Correct missing steamos-add-to-steam executable in KD...

Kyle Gospo•10mo ago

fixed next build

DevilFish303OP•10mo ago

sounds good! btw i found a discrepancy between steamos-add-to-steam bazzite version vs OG steamos version. It looks like they no longer use steam steam://addnonsteamgame/(filepath) instead they use xdg-open in place of steam, so xdg-open steam://addnonsteamgame/(filepath) i tried manually using steam steam://... in CLI and it does not work, i think valve has since updated their script with just that one line

HikariKnight•10mo ago

xdg-open is just more correct in case the handler for steam:// is changed. using steam just hardcoding it to only let steam do the steam:// protocol. no idea why it wont work for you in the terminal though 🤔

DevilFish303OP•10mo ago

i see, ill wait for the new build and see if that fixes my problem, maybe im not using it correctly

~ $ steam steam://addnonsteamgame/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.mozilla.firefox/current/active/export/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop

is ineffective it seems, steam is already running when i execute this

antheas•10mo ago

That's the correct output

DevilFish303OP•10mo ago

@antheas despite this output, no shortcut gets added, not even with xdg-open, the only thing that works is using "Add to steam" context menu entry in OG SteamOS for me, will wait for the new build to retest.

antheas•10mo ago

I did it and it always worked for me The shortcut may be a bit hidden but it works

DevilFish303OP•10mo ago

not sure how you're using it in CLI, its completely broken for me. You mentioned its the correct output, but what about the input, is this correct?

steam steam://addnonsteamgame/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.mozilla.firefox/current/active/export/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop

this is on both my bazzite desktop image, and on OG SteamOS, both steam and xdg-open from the CLI, it doesn't work for me

antheas•10mo ago

no needs to be escaped

DevilFish303OP•10mo ago

so like steam://addnonsteamgame\/path\/to\/game ?

antheas•10mo ago

no url encoded like is done in the script

DevilFish303OP•10mo ago

not sure what you mean then, i don't see any characters that need to be escaped

antheas•10mo ago

look at the script

DevilFish303OP•10mo ago

ah gotcha, alright that makes sense why it wasn't working then
