I just got a similar message but instead of os error 30 I got os error 13 (permission denied etc) on Debian with the .deb installed. But I simply tried running the app with sudo privileges in terminal, which worked, and after restarting my pc the app returned to normal, didn't need to use sudo.

I believe this problem was caused by an invalid binary name in one of the 0.8.x releases. It should be fixed now, so just reinstall or update the app using sudo.

Thanks im new to linux terminal so I forgot I can just run it with sudo. I'll see if that fixes the issue.

On a new installation, I've the same problem:

And you also tried installing .deb? Or appimage?

@Norbiros,

1. And you also tried installing .deb?

   I'm unable to install the .deb (outside distrobox) due to me using a non-Debian-based OS (like the OP, who is my brother).

2. Or appimage?

   Additionally, the .AppImage has a different problem - when I access the undermentioned:

   https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c0d5fd45-c24a-4634-af15-f46d5c82a0cb

   ...it indefinitely hangs. I should report this separately, alongside the misspelled error in the aforementioned screenshots ("ennsuring").

I would like to evaluate the .deb's counterpart - the .RPM. However, it isn't possible to download from modrinth.com/app:

```HTML Download the RPM ```

This is somewhat of a mess.

...it indefinitely hangs. I should report this separately, alongside the misspelled error in the aforementioned screenshots.

Maybe it's the same bug as #2508

Example / Commands

I tried exact same commands, but with --user, and I got: Invalid cross-device link (os error 18). Flatpak does sometimes weird things with isolating fs, so if you want, you could try building our app manually... Also, flatpak version isn't really maintained by modrinth, so you could report it here

The problem is that tauri decides to use /app/bin/tauri_current as tmp dir. I'll look into it later

[RokeJulianLockhart]

@Norbiros, thanks. I've asked at https://github.com/modrinth/code/issues/2508#issuecomment-2417976298.

Also, flatpak version isn't really maintained by modrinth, so you could report it here

I wasn't aware it was unofficial - I have filed https://github.com/flathub/com.modrinth.ModrinthApp/issues/30#issue-2593074753, but can ask @jaredrichardwilliam to close this too, if that's useful.

[Norbiros]

but can ask to close this too, if that's useful.

You can leave it for now. Probably this is caused by our misconfiguration or it is just a Tauri bug.

@Norbiros, where and how do I report the misspelling in that error string? I ask because searching this monorepo for https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amodrinth%2Fcode%20ennsuring&type=code returns 0 results. I presume you utilize an external translation platform? If so, I've been unable to ascertain which.

It was fixed in #2492

@Norbiros,

1. > And you also tried installing .deb?

   I'm unable to install [the `.deb`](https://launcher-files.modrinth.com/versions/0.8.9/linux/Modrinth%20App_0.8.9_amd64.deb) (outside `distrobox`) due to me using a non-Debian-based OS (like the OP, who is my brother).

2. > Or appimage?

   Additionally, [the `.AppImage`](https://launcher-files.modrinth.com/versions/0.8.9/linux/Modrinth%20App_0.8.9_amd64.AppImage) has a different problem - when I access the undermentioned:

This is somewhat of a mess.

The RPM did build, and is available in the build artifacts for 0.8.9, but yes for some strange reason, unlike 0.8.8, it did not link properly on the home page. It's actually included in the "Ubuntu 22.04.zip" file found here: https://github.com/modrinth/code/actions/runs/11360474470. I believe there are some shenanigans to be resolved here.

@Flatfire, would that be worth its own ticket? If you haven't reported it, I don't mind doing so, and copying the content of that comment as its description.

Hey, no I haven't. Please do so if you haven't already. I've not had the time to sit down and kick open a new issue.
