Linux cant start

Clone the Repo (duh) run https://github.com/garretreichenbach/New-StarMade-Launcher.git, or Clone https://github.com/garretreichenbach/New-StarMade-Launcher in GitHub Desktop

I understand DL linux launcher and source code tar gz - done Alternatively you can beta-download in steam??

Package the project run gradlew package in the root directory of the project. This will create an executable in ./release-builds//StarMade Launcher/ Note: The package task will only package for your specific platform. Additionally, some platforms may require additional setup to package for.

The launcher will create the necessary folders and files for the server to run. $

No output for Launcher No Window not even for server

I see you are attempting to build the launcher from source, and it seems it isn't building the executable correctly on your computer. Have you tried downloading the Linux executable provided here? Alternatively, you can download the new launcher through steam and selecting the V3 Launcher option in Launch Settings.

For the server bit - the server launch script will not run as it seems the Launcher is not being built correctly on your computer (see above).

Another Note: If you're trying to run a Universe Update server, I would caution against this. The current Universe Update build is unstable and unsuitable for survival severs. The survival functionality is not yet complete, and the server list doesn't even work correctly, so you can't see servers. I would instead recommend running a server using the old method and the latest Release Branch build.

DL over steam and tried almost everything I could imagine.

What Linux distro are you using? I tested on Zorin OS, Arch, and just plain Ubuntu, but it seems I somehow missed something...

[AraAurora]

I also tried it with the windows option and proton experimental and got no description on the starter window. The starter launcher window in linux is too small to copy the error message

The steam problem is that no launcher is found even if in the right directory.

EDIT: with QT4-Wine it doesnt work either.

And I am using Kubuntu (similar to ubuntu) just another desktop environment and distro repro.

BTW ty for the quick response.

Die Datei /home/fairydream/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/StarMade/release-builds/linux/StarMade-Launcher/StarMade-Launcher lässt sich nicht zum Lesen öffnen Its now a folder so Ark did complain because it expects the launcher inside the bin directory within that one and the launcher has no .sh such has the same name as the folder I was creating.

I can now launch the launcher and it DL (every time) Java 8 and Java 18 and then displays the News.

Below I can choose update which works fine, except that it requires it every time and launch displays no window.
