This is what I get when I try to install the latest protonup I get two different types of messages

Random-Chain commented 2 years ago

Having the same issue, I tried downloading the Proton GE tarball and extracting it manually but I get the same error when opening the tar. So this could be an issue with Proton GE itself, not protonup.

bashfulrobot commented 2 years ago

+1 on this issue. Mostly commenting to follow and provide data as needed.

BloodBlight commented 2 years ago

Also seeing this. Running the command two times in a row generates two different errors.

First, the sha512sum. Second, permission denied.

This is also true for 7.4 that was released as I was going testing (like 5 minutes ago).

BloodBlight commented 2 years ago

Additional not, after running it a second time and restarting Steam, it does show up.... Testing now.

BloodBlight commented 2 years ago

Can confirm at least one game DOES run.

KhaosPone commented 2 years ago

Can confirm at least one game DOES run.

Also something else I noticed the other day while trying to remove old GE-Proton releases that I had installed using Protonup the -r command it was stating that the previous releases were not installed at all even though they showed up with the -l command which was also quite strange (Forgot to mention this yesterday)

I manually installed the latest GE-Proton from their official GitHub page and it works absolutely fine with no known issues which leads me to believe this is potentially a Protonup issues

Conversation below was before debugging the script multiple times:

One last try, Copy&Paste this:

First command starts here:

cat > protonup_install_test.sh << EOF

!/bin/bash

set -e

[ -d protonup ] && rm -rf protonup && printf "clone repo fresh\n" git clone https://github.com/cloudishBenne/protonup >&/dev/null cd protonup

pip uninstall --yes protonup -qq yes | pip install protonup -qq python3 setup.py install --user >&/dev/null

printf "\ntest user on systemwide installation:\n\n" (set -ex; pip list) | grep protonup (set -ex; pip list --user) | grep protonup printf "\n... works\n\n"

pip uninstall --yes protonup -qq yes | pip install --user protonup -qq python3 setup.py install --user >&/dev/null

printf "\ntest user on user installation:\n\n" (set -ex; pip list) | grep protonup (set -ex; pip list --user) | grep protonup EOF

End of first command is here

Second command:

bash protonup_install_test.sh

Tested this on a fresh installed Linux and output is:

clone repo fresh

test user on systemwide installation::

+ pip list protonup 0.1.4 + pip list --user protonup 0.1.4

test user on user installation::

+ pip list protonup 0.2.0 + pip list --user protonup 0.2.0

cloudishBenne commented 2 years ago

Okay, the problem was another formatting issue. I scripted, copy&pasted all on my smartphone via termux, formatting did not work as intended and so the script never went into the protonup repo to install.

I update the code above, but basically your problem was, that you installed protonup systemwide with pip install protonup when you now install the patch as a user installation with python3 setup.py install --user the systemwide installation wins. So in conclusion, here is hopefully your command:

pip uninstall --yes protonup
git clone https://github.com/cloudishBenne/protonup && cd protonup
python3 setup.py install --user
dnet890 commented 2 years ago

yeah it works. thanks

DarthMDev commented 2 years ago

I applied cloudishBenne's patches and it worked thank you! I hope the maintainers of this project merges his fixes in at some point

ChrisFToptal commented 2 years ago

same issue here :(

pmarreck commented 2 years ago

same issues here on NixOS. In fact, this basically breaks the package on NixOS, and I don't know how to write a new derivation for the fixed version from @cloudishBenne . Would be nice if @AUNaseef simply accepted the PR from him (assuming there is one).

pmarreck commented 2 years ago

Here are the instructions if you want to get @cloudishBenne 's version working on NixOS:

First, remove any declarative config for protonup from your nixos configs. Then:

nix-shell -p git -p python39Full -p python39Packages.bootstrapped-pip -p python39Packages.setuptools
git clone https://github.com/cloudishBenne/protonup && pushd protonup
python3 setup.py install --user
popd
rm -rf protonup
protonup
exit

The first line is a bit of nix magic that basically beams down the right build tools from the cloud and sets them up to be used in a new shell temporarily. I'm not a Python guy so this combination might not be ideal, but this is what worked. The rest installs it into a temporary location accessible on the PATH. (Thus, it may eventually get garbage-collected, so you might want to save these lines as a script somewhere and just run it when you need it.)

cloudishBenne commented 2 years ago

I hadn't touched nixos yet, but can't you just install with

pip3 install protonup-ng

or

pip3 install pipx
pipx install protonup-ng

?

pmarreck commented 2 years ago

@cloudishBenne Well first, since it's Nix, you have to make the entire messy python ecosystem available, which I tend to avoid (I'm a former Ruby guy who always regarded Python with some disdain, especially the extremely ugly 2->3 transition and the version namespace clashing and package management woes, in fact I can't even understand why it's so popular, just like Go... no offense, just my preference, lol).

But that would probably work better, assuming that one of the things I "installed" (which in a Nix context really just means "make temporarily available unless you add it to your permanent config") added pip3 to my PATH. I'll try it out and update my recommendation if it works better, thanks!

btw Python is quite well-supported in Nix/NixOS https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Python and probably even removes a lot of the pain around it, you can have things like project-specific Python versions (and not just the interpreter itself, but the entire toolchain underneath) and whatnot. You basically just make a shell.nix (if you don't understand the nix language, you can start with a copy of someone else's and learn by tweaking) in your project directory, run nix-shell and it will make ONLY the things you specify available/"visible" in your shell (so it's not globally contaminated by, say, the wrong version of glibc or what have you) and you're off and running with dev.

There's also direnv integration so you can have entirely project-specific environment variables as well, which automatically apply as soon as you cd into your project directory.

Once you grok how it works and what it's trying to do (and what problems it's making you avoid completely, like a dev superpower), you may have a "holy shit" moment... but it may take a while to get there, especially if you're not (yet) keen on the whole functional/immutable programming philosophy.

EDIT: One more thing, you have to explicitly set the environment variable $STEAM_EXTRA_COMPAT_TOOLS_PATHS otherwise Steam can't "see" Proton-GE, as demonstrated in my environment config here

pmarreck commented 2 years ago

Got it to work with this wrapper script, in case anyone else can use this. Also shows one way to install and use pip-installed binaries on nixOS

@pmarreck

See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/186974 and https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/196957.

If you encounter a case like in the future, simply override the source of the original package. See https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-pkg-overrideAttrs.

AUNaseef commented 1 year ago

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/Proton-GE-Proton7-2/sha512sum' This is caused by the naming change, should be fixed in the latest version.

cloudishBenne commented 1 year ago

@AUNaseef Nice to see you back man! I recently opened an org for protonup-ng, are you interestet in teaming up in this org? I have started some improvements but had no time afterwards to continue... They are about versioning, testing, development and refactoring for a better software architecture.

AUNaseef commented 1 year ago

I don't have much time either to continue working on this due to various reasons, I occasionally get a notification and remember this exists haha. I do want to re-asses the problem once again and do a complete rewrite, we'll see.

btw I'm closing the issue since I assume no one has this problem anymore.
