Renderwahn , 10 months ago in Has anyone gotten Sniper Elite 4 running on OpenSUSE?

I just tried starting it, works without issue with proton experimental. opensuse tumbleweed, Kernel: 6.4.12-1-default x86_64, Device-1: v: 4.6 Mesa 23.1.6 renderer: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (gfx1100 LLVM 16.0.6 DRM 3.52 6.4.12-1-default)

As for debugging try sshing into your box and check dmesg or check the system journal.

According to proton db someone got it working on deck 3 days ago www.protondb.com/app/1008080?device=any

Delta_44 OP , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

I know, and I call it bullshit. There’s no way I could’t get it working if I could, considering that it can’t run yet. It can’t because of the launcher or the anti-cheat (more probable) and proton is proton, there’s no difference for the steam deck, apart from gamescope and integrated steam.

Vilian , 10 months ago

maybe an update in between these 3 days?

Delta_44 OP , 10 months ago

Unlikely, I’ve tested it even yesterday, latest all

INeedMana , 10 months ago in Has anyone gotten Sniper Elite 4 running on OpenSUSE?

From what I can find it seems that it is only available on Steam. And a lot were able to run it without problems

TheBat OP , 10 months ago

Yeah that’s what’s baffling me. I’m even thinking of switching to Mint or Fedora lol

INeedMana , 10 months ago

I don’t think that’s a solution, unless one of these installs out of the box some other version of a driver or module. And all three are rather using older versions. Maybe Mint could be a little bit more up to date.

I would propose: execute steam with PRESSURE_VESSEL_SHELL=instead (PRESSURE_VESSEL_SHELL=instead steam in a terminal or launcher where you type what to execute) and once you have xterm run the game with “$@” > $HOME/tmp/sniper.log 2>&1. That will redirect the output from the process to the file which you can use after reboot to search what is the problem you are having. If there’s not much inside, retry with export WINEDEBUG=+all; “$@” > > $HOME/tmp/sniper.log 2>&1. The latter will run very, very slowly but should print debug of everything that happens in proton

krey , 10 months ago in Has anyone gotten Sniper Elite 4 running on OpenSUSE?

you can no longer switch to a vt?

have you tried switching to a vt preemptively while launching it (e.g. use the sleep command to delay start or use chvt in the same input line)?

check the syslog, if any.

idk if it’s still a thing, but the kernel had magic sysrq key combos that would still work when a lot of stuff crashed.

maybe try logging the game stderr and stdout to a file. maybe even with additional strace.

GreenMario , 10 months ago in Have someone here tried MTG arena on Arch based distro?

I’ve played it on a Steam Deck. So it does work for arch based SteamOS.

kariboka OP , 10 months ago

Lubuntu should work

I’ve been dying for a steam release of Wipeout HD. Thankful for this as it will tide me over.

ipacialsection , 10 months ago in Lightweight Distro for 2007 Macbook help

I haven’t tried this myself, but do you happen to know exactly which model of MacBook you have?

I did some searching and found a (very old) Debian Wiki article saying that the MacBook 1,1 and 2,1 require 32-bit UEFI, and in the case of the 2,1, this is despite the CPU being 64-bit. Though that’s unlikely to be the case here given that those Ubuntu variants reach the boot screen.

citrusface OP , 10 months ago

It is a MacBook A1181

Thanks for the help! I’ll check this Wiki.

entropicdrift , 10 months ago

Having looked it up, you have a Macbook 2,1 in the parlance of that Debian wiki article, so you do need to follow those instructions

citrusface OP , 10 months ago

Yeah - looks that way! Thank you so much.

Oh man. This nightmare again…

phx , 10 months ago in Steam disk write error on Debian 12

I’d check that there isn’t actually an issue with the drive itself. If the whole device is being set to RO that might be due to filesystem issues as the default OS action is often to remount RO to avoid corruption

PastaRhythm , 10 months ago in netris – Terminal-based multiplayer Tetris clone

Woah! You can make a terminal game and have people just… ssh into it and they’re playing? That’s so cool!

Very good version of Tetris! Rotating and wall kicking feel like how they should, there’s some time before the piece touches the ground and it locking into place, you have the 7-Bag system going, it’s great! Excellent job!

trevor OP , 10 months ago

Thank you. I created an app that makes it easy to host any application for people to SSH into, called sshtargate.

krey , 10 months ago in Steam disk write error on Debian 12

if it’s a dedicated FS, can you maybe force the permissions with mount options, ACL or directory setgid?

Aye!! Turn up, how long until we’re hdr’r

bobman , 10 months ago in Have someone here tried MTG arena on Arch based distro?

Yes, I would play Arena all the time on Manjaro.

I use the Lutris version. Occasionally the entire thing needs to be redownloaded from scratch, but that’s it.
