Various Installation Issues

[SherrifsNear]

Installation under EndeavousOS results in a few issues.

OS : EndeavousOS
Kernel : 6.12.9-arch1-1
Desktop Environment : KDE Wayland

(1) The X86_64 package for flatpak builder must first be installed from Flathub. This isn't an installation issue per se, but could possibly be mentioned in the instructions.

(2) After building the flatpak through the included sh file, attempting to launch the flatpak results in another missing X86_64 package. The error message is looking for these files to be in /var/lib/net.azurewebsites.pathos, however there is no X86_64 directory in this location. Copying the X86_64 directory from /var/lib/org.flatpak.Builder into the .net.azurewebsites.pathos directory solves this issue.

(3) Attempting to run the command "flatpak run net.azurewebsites.pathos" (as the documentation states) actually launches flatpak-builder. To run the flatpak installation for pathos the command appears to be "flatpak run net.azurewebsites.pathos.flatpak". Message output follows when running without the appended ".flatpak" portion of the command:

DIRECTORY must be specified
Usage:
flatpak-builder [OPTION…] DIRECTORY MANIFEST - Build manifest

(4) Launching the flatpak from either the desktop (KDE games menu) or from the terminal results in the following error messages:

Setting up Windows (Wine) is being setup. This may take a while.

Setting-up wine prefix...
WINEPREIX: /var/data/wineprefix
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set

Wineboot failed

wine_setup failed

This may very well be a specific Wine issue in my particular installation, but this has yet to be resolved.

Are you using Wayland or Xorg?

[SherrifsNear]

Running KDE Wayland.

[hydrian]

Wayland is probably the issue. Do you have XWayland installed?

[SherrifsNear]

XWayland is installed.

Switching to a X11 session did indeed result in a successful installation and the game seems to run fine in a X11 session.

In case you were curious, the flatpak will still not run after switching back to a Wayland session, but that is something I can play around with.

[SherrifsNear]

OK, everything seems to be working now.

Removing the Wayland windowing system socket from the flatpak permissions for "net.azurewebsites.pathos.flatpak" took care of the last issue. It would have been interesting to see if the Wine installation would have worked this way as well.

[hydrian]

The issue is that some of run/installation tools are Xorg only. I'm trying to find good replacements for the that support both.

[hydrian]

I think I've found a workable technology stack that will support both Xorg and Wayland. Need some time to implement it. Hopefully I'll have a fix in a few days.
