Readme > Installation > Install GNOME compat - How to check the branch? #325

Open buhund opened 1 year ago

buhund commented 1 year ago

Not really an issue, but still, I would suggest that someone please expands a bit on the following section in the readme:

  1. Install GNOME Compat and GL32 extensions

flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default

Make sure that you install the same branches as the ones used by net.lutris.Lutris, usually the latest ones.

DO NOT confuse org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386 with org.freedesktop.Platform.Compat.i386.

How do I check/verify this? When running the install command, I got the following output:

Looking for matches…
Similar refs found for ‘org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386’ in remote ‘flathub’ (system):

   1) runtime/org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386/x86_64/3.34

   7) runtime/org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386/x86_64/43
   8) runtime/org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386/x86_64/44

Which do you want to use (0 to abort)? [0-8]:

44 seems to be the obvious choice for "the latest one", but there's the strange jump from 3.38 to 40 :D

The only thing I find that I think may be correct is in Preferences > Hardware information > OS: GNOME 44 Flatpak runtime but I'm not really sure tbh.

The same with org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default:

   5) runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default/x86_64/22.08-extra

Which do you want to use (0 to abort)? [0-5]:

I chose 8 for the first one and it said already installed, and then just cancelled on the second. Adding a quick "how to check which one you want" would be helpfull :)

Thats just GNOME versioning scheme.

In any case, just installing the app would install the extensions so this probably should be removed from the readme.
