Flatpak 1.9.1 Not working on Steam Deck

[guymanley]

Describe the bug Protontricks seems to crash or hang after selecting a game in the initial menu. No subsequent windows show up. Tried from konsole/terminal "flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks --gui". Select a game. No new window shows up. Tried with -v --no-bwrap flags. See Additional Content section for output. Once you select a game from there it goes a little further but then displays an error window stating "bug: w_metadata art2kmin has a unix path for installed_file1, should be a windows path". It does this for any game, ones that I know are windows games.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Gui

1. Launched Protontricks from the app/start menu.
2. Select a game, click ok.
3. Nothing happens, no new window drawn. Terminal/troubleshooting
4. Run command flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks -v --no-bwrap --gui
5. Command fails and error is displayed: bug: w_metadata art2kmin has a unix path for installed_file1, should be a windows path

Expected behavior Run protontricks from gui. Select game, have the action menu show up to edit prefix, registry etc.

System (please complete the following information):

• Distro: SteamOS 3.3.1 (stable branch)
• Protontricks installation method: Flatpak
• Protontricks version: 1.9.1
• Steam version: Stable Branch

I am also on 1.9.1 and having the same issue on steam deck

[Matoking]

I think I have narrowed this down to a race condition in a Wine launcher script, causing new Wine processes to crash when the previous Wine process finishes shutting down during a very inopportune gap of time. Though this could happen in pretty much environment, it seems to happen pretty much always when Flatpak version of Protontricks is used and bwrap is disabled. Chances are the fix may solve other random issues and crashes as well.

I've pushed a fix for testing here, which you can install by running the following command:

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/104592/com.github.Matoking.protontricks.flatpakref

Since you're on Steam Deck, you should be able to launch Konsole and paste that command to install the fix.

Can you test running Protontricks both with bwrap on and off after installing the fix, and check if that solves the issue?

[witcheslive]

I am running into this exact issue as well, and unfortunately this does not seem to fix it. I don't know what bwrap is or how to turn it on or off though.

[witcheslive]

Sorry, update, after posting I realized bwrap is an option on the command line. I used the bash command the op wrote with the no-bwrap option instead of the desktop UI (which I assume has it on?) and it did load, though it seemed to go to generic winetricks and not the specific one for the game I selected

E: n/m I think it works, I haven't use this in a while

[Matoking]

@witcheslive Did you try installing the fix using the command in the previous command, and did it install successfully? If so, can you post the output with --no-bwrap and without it? In short, you'll want to test both of these on the command-line:

flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks -v --gui

and

flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks -v --no-bwrap --gui

Both should ideally work, and the first one without --no-bwrap especially should work. In short, bwrap should more closely match how Steam runs the game, and it should work by default in almost all cases.

You can upload the output to gist.github.com and then copy the link here.

[witcheslive]

unfortunately due to circumstances, can't get a keyboard plugged in and couldn't get a copy and paste, so going to have to boomershot. this is the output for running the command in the window title, it did not bring up anything after selecting the game

Sorry, Just got a chance to try this.

with bwrap https://gist.github.com/guymanley/512e29b4ca5606e9475e42246ddfd7a5

no bwrap https://gist.github.com/guymanley/52188922b0ee3b0e8430b5fbc189f8ba

I was able to enter a game's menu, click around with its file explorer, presumably everything else should work too.

It works for you with both options?

I titled the gist pages, fails with bwrap, works with no-bwrap.

Thanks for the logs! It looks like the bwrap launcher is getting stuck for some reason. Can you or anyone else in this thread try running the following command and see what output it produces:

flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks -v -c "bash -x wine --version" APPID

Replace the APPID with the app ID for the game that's causing issues. It's the number at the end of each title when Protontricks asks you to choose a game from a list (eg. 753640 in "Outer Wilds: 753640" is the app ID).

I'm guessing the command will get stuck somehow and either produce endless amounts of log lines, or just hang entirely. Knowing where it does so should hopefully nail down the issue.

[nabel0]

This was with the offical flatpak repo version..Not with the test version you send.

[Matoking]

Please install the test version, as the crash bug can make it harder to pin down the cause due to its random nature.

If it still causes the same result (the command prints the version at the last line, as it should), that would be weird. If that doesn't work, another command to run is:

flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks -v -c "winetricks -v --gui" APPID

This should work pretty much the same way as the flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks -v --gui command used earlier, except it prints a lot more information. This should pin down where the process crashes or hangs if it's related to whatever Winetricks does, which is what Protontricks uses.

Sorry to ask, but how can i install the test version on the steam deck?

Okay...Here ist the same command with your test version:

Matoking posted the konsole command to install the test race condition fix version: here https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks/issues/164#issuecomment-1230564235

Sorry to ask, but how can i install the test version on the steam deck?

[Matoking]

@guymanley Thank you! The issue seems to be that Protontricks on Flatpak didn't have access to a required service on the D-Bus. The only reason it worked on my system is because I had manually enabled session D-Bus access while testing something else and forgot about it. :facepalm:

---

I've pushed a fix to Flathub which adds the missing permission and should fix commands hanging on bwrap; the update should be live in a few hours. It does not have the random crash fix yet, though.

I've pushed a new test version which has both the missing permission and the earlier fix to the random crash bug. You can install it by running the following command:

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/104927/com.github.Matoking.protontricks.flatpakref

Please test and report whether this solves the remaining issues! If so, I'll look into releasing a new version soon. The random crash bug might have been responsible for a bunch of hard-to-diagnose issues, so it would be nice to squash it for good. :)

EDIT:

Never mind, the test version is a dud and still lacks necessary permissions. See comment below.

[otuva]

• Official flatpak latest version (1.9.1)

• Both outputs: https://gist.github.com/otuva/2cf8790c5e708dc0a724dfb00915589b

[guymanley]

Had to uninstall to get the new test version installed. Here's a test with bwrap, froze up again. https://gist.github.com/guymanley/3d3a33701f59b7b565b4fa3bf822cb63

Hi @Matoking ...It seems like you forgot to set the correct flatpak permissions in the new test version you posted above. It still hangs for me. But after i gave it the propper permissions via Flatseal it works fine:

@guymanley @otuva Can you try to set this permission via Flatseal and report back if it woks now for you (using the latest testversion posted above).

Yep, noticed as much. Flatpak keeps old permissions around even after installing new versions that drop them.

The aim is not to enable entire access to the entire session bus, as that goes against the idea of sandboxing. I'll look into this again tomorrow; Protontricks does appear to have enough permissions to launch the process, it's closing down where things get hairy and the whole thing hangs. You can use the "D-Bus session bus" permission as a workaround for now.

Yeah nice catch that's the reason it hangs with bubblewrap I guess.

Strangest thing is even though gui works now I still cannot run any external executable with appid from both CLI and GUI. The external exe won't even see the game's process. Tried running the exe with steamtinkerlaunch and it was able to see it.

flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks -c 'WINEFSYNC=1 wine /home/tfp/Downloads/CheatEngine74/cheatengine-x86_64.exe' 1454400
# or
protontricks-launch --no-bwrap --appid 1454400 /home/tfp/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/Desktop/CheatEngine74/cheatengine-x86_64.exe

STL broke some other things for reasons I can't even begin the find so.. still debugging lol

[Matoking]

I've reverted the D-Bus change on the Flatpak version of Protontricks for the time being, as I seem to be having trouble getting it working it with Flatpak. This update should be live in a few hours and get bwrap working again (and for real this time), though it's not a permanent solution due to --socket being deprecated.

As for the problem with D-Bus, the Launch event is emitted as normal, but ProcessExited signal is not emitted unless full session bus access is granted for some reason, even when Protontricks is granted access to different D-Bus services.

[guymanley]

Ok, I downloaded the test version again via "flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/104927/com.github.Matoking.protontricks.flatpakref" Seems the flathub version couldn't be found/downloaded by KDE Discover Added the d-Buss Session bus permission via Flatseal. I was about to launch via gui, get all the way to in Resident Evil HD but when I select run winecfg it just brings up the same window again.

Konsole output replicating the issue here: https://gist.github.com/guymanley/ee98fbcd106c526c1d92a23aa6a1fdb1

This was not done with the --no-bwrap flag.

This one worked for me on SteamOS: flathub/com.github.Matoking.protontricks#31 (comment)

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/105185/com.github.Matoking.protontricks.flatpakref

Tried this. While the gui works. Wine functions like winecfg, registry etc just come back to the same menu.

The mentioned test build only had the patch for the D-Bus issue to keep it in line with the version 1.9.1. I made a new test build that has both fixes:

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/105592/com.github.Matoking.protontricks.flatpakref

Please check if this solves the issue. Assuming it does, I'll try to push a new version out ASAP.

So winecfg and the gui worked. Regedit, explorer, taskmanager just return to the previous menu. Maybe my issue is the test build didn't completely download? 2mb of 16. All in the Gist: https://gist.github.com/guymanley/8abbcffcd87f408d2c516d89f9b71187 I used the discover app to remove protontricks before replacing test builds.

I should clarify, the gist shows me installing the test build you posted lastly twice because I thought it failed the first time and uninstalled via discover, which is not shown in the gist. When the same behavior happened on the 2nd attempt to install, I just decided to move on with testing. I was able to edit a dll in Resident Evil 4 HD and remove the launch command override that did the same function so winecfg at least is working. Not sure how much else is not working.

I was able to reproduce the issue on Proton 7.0, but not Proton 6.3 using the following method:

# Open two terminal emulators.
# On the first one, open a Windows command prompt, and leave it open. This will ensure a wineserver process is left open.
$ protontricks -v --no-background-wineserver -c bash APPID
$ wine cmd.exe 

# On the second one, open Winetricks GUI as normal, then select winecfg, close it, and open winecfg again.
# It should crash with the same error.
$ protontricks -v --no-background-wineserver APPID --gui

My guess is it's related to the recent Steam Runtime update since --no-bwrap also fixes the issue, but I'll have to look into this more. Protontricks 1.9.0 and non-Flatpak environment also trigger the same error.

I'm closing this issue since the Flatpak specific issue has been fixed. The another issue seemingly related to Steam Runtime is continued in #166.
