Closed metya closed 1 week ago
Now, when https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/ is up, everything works properly. Installing and uninstalling plugins are working.
that's unusual, as the reason the store appeared to be down was because there was a plugin with zero versions, which breaks the web UI. But it shouldn't have affected the loader at all, so it's possible just restarting fixed it.
No, I didn't restart Steam Deck, Steam OS, or Steam itself, and didn't exit from game mode. Just woke it up and checked. Or do you mean restarting the website? I noted that there was a plugin without a version, now this plugin is gone :)
I'm experiencing a similar issue. Several weeks ago I noticed that I can't seem to update or install any plugins anymore. I can go to the plugin store and scroll through the different plugins, but once I click on "Install", there is just nothing happening at all.
I thought it might just sort itself out, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I uninstalled and reinstalled Decky Loader several times now, tried the stable and the prerelease version, but nothing appears to solve this problem.

does anyone know how to fix this?

same issue installing works it just takes so long, took me 10 minutes to install powertools. It wasn't like that before it started after the latest steamos beta when deckyloader was spewing a bunch of errors rolled back to stable steamos and stable deckyloader and now installing plugins takes ages.

wow, you're right. I just successfully installed PowerTools again, had to wait it out for like 5 minutes. still not perfect, but at least we can use Plugins. thanks for the tip!
Instead of the download not happening, could it be a case of the download starting but being slow to complete (either due to DNs resolving slowly or just a large or slow download)?
@NGnius I think it is a good assumption, cause if you start doing something else during installation, the session that downloads the plugin sends the connection-breaking error, so I think it is really trying to download. And eventually, it can be successful with some time.
I have made an account just for this, same problem, please fix it, is it maybe caused by having dual boot with refind or Cryobyte tools?
Having same issue EDIT: permission issue with plugins folder, it was not writable. Works now
Same problem, but the plugins page does not load
I can't get to the plugins page anymore either. I just upgraded from 2.8.2 to 2.10.0, then to 2.10.1 - apparently there was some issue with the updater not working for prerelease versions until recently?
Same issue, in addition the connection speed of installed plugins is also incredibly slow (like ProtonDB Badges taking very long to load, etc) and it also doesn't appear when I connect to the internet via Hotspot from my phone.
I am also unable to install any plugins from the store.
Could it be that the plugins/
directory is not changed to being writeable? When looking at the logs I can see that the _install
method gets to the "Unzipping..."
part but not any further:

If I manually add write permissions the plugin installs just fine:
$ chmod +w -R plugins/
A quick look through the code brought me to a place where the plugin base path is chmod-ed to 555, which removes write permissions for root (write is 2, read is 4). Presumably that was meant to be 755.

Looks like it's intended, was initially done over a year ago in https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/pull/37 which explicitly says "Plugins are now owned by root and have read-only permissions.
Ah, I need to mention that I am not running Decky under the root user. If I recall correctly root should be able to write to any files and folders. So this might be an issue only I am facing.
Ah right, that'll be your problem then. Should work mostly fine if you manually mess with file ownership and permissions, but the loader doesn't currently support being run as the user so you might come also across more issues later. EDIT: This has now been fixed, and decky should work fine if run as the user.
Having a terrible time trying to install EmuDecky from ZIP. It notes "installed EmuDecky Dev" when I add it, but it never shows up... I see it in the file browser within ~/homebrew/plugins/EmuDecky, but not in Steam.
Stale issue.
Please confirm
Bug Report Description
I have a very strange bug.
I installed decky-loader within
decky-installer.desktop
and it seems to work, but the store isn't working properly - there are no pictures and the install button doesn't do anything. I noted that the website https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/ doesn't work, but I can retrieve json from https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/plugins, and even can retrieve files from cdn address likehttps://cdn.tzatzikiweeb.moe/file/steam-deck-homebrew/versions/968444702eaf59e1c107922a01d5028f07d4e4753a6f4f6aa2948b00e02a044f.zip
for example.When I try to install some plugin in the logs there are line about it.
But nothing changes, and it seems that downloading doesn't happen, cause
aiohttp_session
is still open when you start to do something else, and it closes after that with a log likeSo nothing installs to the plugin's directory.
But if download the zip file manually and unzip it in that directory, that works as it should. A plugin is in the list and works properly.
Expected Behaviour
It should work just fine :)
SteamOS version
Steam OS 3.4.6 Stable
Selected Update Channel
Stable
Have you modified the read-only filesystem at any point?
No
