Protontricks failed to just open.

I get this error and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Protontricks was closed due to the following error:

I clean installed steam and the error still pops up. Didn't wipe the sd card though. Any advice?

According to a Google search, it would indicate data corruption on your SD card:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/330742/cannot-remove-file-structure-needs-cleaning

One option would be to reformat the SD card, though that would obviously erase any data.

Another option would be to attempt file system repair which might solve the issue, though there's no official function in the Steam Deck as far as I know. So, backup your data if you attempt this method. You can follow these instructions on Reddit:

For me, most of my SD card problems were due to bad superblocks.

1. Switch to desktop mode, start konsole and run lsblk
2. You should see mmcblk0p1. If you do
3. run fsck.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p1 and type y for all questions
4. run sync just to be sure all operations have been finished
5. remove and re-insert the SD card

It should hopefully work now. It did for me at least.

If fsck.ext4 warns about the file system being mounted, try the following:

1. Open "KDE Partition Manager"
2. Select the SD card
3. In the list of partitions, right-click /dev/mmcblk0p1 and select "Unmount"

You should hopefully now be able to run fsck.ext4.
