Vesktop rpm package didn't install properly? Could not find the program '/opt/Vesktop/vesktop'
I tried to install the vesktop RPM package, by doing $ sudo dnf install vesktop-1.5.4.x86_64.rpm
But it doesn't seem to have installed correctly
Currently on the flatpak, but trying to stream crashes, not the deal breaker here but would like to not run in a container anyways

you should be using
rpm-ostree install vesktop-1.5.4.x86_64.rpm not sudo dnf install...yeah i realized that, but it uses rpm-ostree anyways when i tried to use dnf
currently uninstalling it and going to try with rpm-ostree
didn't know at first that's how it works, never used atomic based distro before
i didn't even realize that atomic meant immutable, was originally hoping to just have a more regular distro
what is wrong with the flatpak?
it sends ping sounds even when in the app for whatever reason
it is not immutable, you can change it
atomic just means changes are controled
actually nevermind just had another discord in the background, anyways would still like to try to see if the non containerized version crashes when streaming
not sure if i like that
don't really know what other choices there are for distros with steam deck in mind
there are plenty of non atomic OSs out there if you dislike it
why not file a bug for it?
i already said
oh so it has nothing to do with the fact it was a flatpak
another issue i have is when i double press tab when writing ./ it doesn't list anything but i'll see later if that can be changed
building the latest discord faltpak i don't have it crash when screensharing anymore, I did always crash with vdesktop when i tried it however
not sure if it's a fedora thing or not, haven't used fedora in over 2 years
honestly would prefer if there was an arch based distro like bazzite, aur is nice and the arch wiki while useful on fedora as well can sometimes be confusing
if you are using vesktop simply for vencord you can install it into the discord flatpack as seen here https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1330557849159467189
for screensharing just build the flatpak with the latest stable discord client and if you don't care about the file picker upload
if you want to do that I can link the lastest build steps I posted yesterday with the 0.0.81 client
yeah i might just simply use a different distro
cd'ing into ~ doesn't send you to the home folder that you actually want
?
since home is in /var/home/bazzite
doing ~ which is in /home/bazzite is useless
it's sym linked
they are the same folder
that just raises more questions than it answers
anyways know of any non immutable distros targeted for the steam deck? searching for it is kinda hard with all the trash that comes up
nobara or chimera? idk if they are not atomic but they are the only OS images that I know of that have the same game first target
yeah nobara does have a steam deck configuration, currently looking into it, but there doesn't really seem to be anything else, especially not arch based
I'll be real arch is a pia for building something stable
so it makes sense to me that such projects are not built off it
why not just install arch and set it up yourself is that not the point of it?
you have a very good point, but my reasoning is, I do not want to be responsible for a grub screen upon booting while on the go because i didn't have time to make sure it works, and the reason i don't want to use holo is because I can't use aur packages
learn to make a custom image and embrace atomic is my opinon
so far i like and dislike atomic
i dislike that i have to restart it every time i want to install a package but otherwise seems cool
--apply-live does exist
just don't do that for anything that updates a package
new packages are mostly safe
also if you are installing a lot of things in layers please look into a custom image, it will make your updates very long because it has to run the installer for every thing you layer each time
it is best to avoid layering things if you can avoid itfrom what I am reading, I should make a custom image and then rebase my current atomic image?
ifyou manage a lot of layered packages yeah it would be for the best
well then, my last question is, how to fix autocomplete, because when i was trying to use dnf then rpm-ostree pressing tab didn't autocomplete with the file I wanted, and it confuses me
what confuses me is that it's not in any faq and searching for it doesn't seem to bring anything up either
also yeah using the rpm package instead of flatpak did fix the crashing issue while streaming
oh yeah, why is so much stuff gtk on the kde version?
just installed bitwarden flatpak and the context menus are gtk
which i remember them being qt on steamos
becuase a lot of packages use gtk as how they render windows
the bit warden flatpak has
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity in the manifest so I think they force gtk in the flatpak idk why
also two/three years ago it seems they switched from a raw archive to installing via a deb so my guess is they are using gtk for one reason or another
I am not sure what part i snot autocompleting for you the only thing that does not for me which I find as an issue for a lot of things in bash overall is trying to auto complete local file namesyeah same
never had that happen before
