Bug: Pegasus (flatpak) unable to detect Lutris games

Learning5Life commented 2 years ago

The issue

Upon a fresh install of Pegasus, no Lutris games were detected, only games in my Steam library. These Lutris games included standalone games and games from GOG, but installed in my own games directory and not the usual ~/GOG Games directory.

System info

Pop!_OS 21.04

Pegasus version

fff1a5b (flatpak)

Pegasus log

Attached bug report: lastrun.log

Love this bug report template by the way. It makes it so much easier for me to provide good information.

Hi, yes, at the moment you can't add additional GOG directories from the settings menu, but you can do it by manually editing the settings file.

In the case of Flatpak, that should be at /home/yourname/.var/app/org.pegasus_frontend.Pegasus/config/pegasus-frontend/settings.txt. Open that in some plain text editor and the following to the bottom:

providers.gog.directories:
  /home/yourname/Game1/
  /home/yourname/Game2/
  /home/yourname/GameN/

Edit the paths to your liking, just make sure each directory line starts with at least one space. Pegasus will look for start.sh files in the directories you add this way.

I guess this is solved, but feel free to report if there are still some issues.

I'm seeing this same issue in Mint 20.3 Lutris games are not detected by the Flatpak version of Pegasus at all.

I prefer to launch games using Lutris so I can guarantee gamemode is active along with other optimizations.

Please reopen this bug. Your comment was a workaround for the GoG issue but the bug with detecting Lutris games from the Flatpak version still exists.

Ok; @entropicdrifter could you also attach a log file of the Flatpak version?

So far I've tried launching it with a few different Flatpak filesystem permissions set, but none of them seem to work. My Lutris pga.db file is located at ~/.local/share/lutris, which is one of the folders the current code should be checking per this function, so I really have no idea why it's not being scanned.

I've now also tried explicitly granting filesystem permissions for the exact ~/.local/share/lutris folder in Flatseal and it still isn't finding it.

Well I've tried it and I can reproduce the issue, but debugging with Flatpak is a pain... The No installation found happens when Pegasus thinks <commondatadir>/lutris does not exist, where commondatadir is the value of XDG_DATA_DIRS, which is normally a list containing ~/.local/share/. And indeed, looking at the env vars in the sandbox, ~/.local/share/ is not on the list, unlike the regular desktop. I'll try to manually add it.

Thanks for looking into this, I really appreciate it. I've never published a flatpak myself but I definitely know how annoying sandboxes can be.

Ok, tested and this should be fixed in the latest Flatpak release. Thanks for the report!
