Vortex installer doesnt work

[cocomunges]

I ran the pikdum tools which creates the updater and vortex on the desktop. But when i start the vortex installer, it starts up Konsole and stop after "vortex-linux" installs according to the terminal. IT auto exits konsole and nothing is made on the desktop, no post deploy or vortex as it should. This results in wasted space on the boot drive that i can't delete and need to reset to factory state in order to regain. Also, obviously, results in it not working and me being unable to ever create vortex or mod games

See the uninstall section in the readme.

But when i start the vortex installer, it starts up Konsole and stop after "vortex-linux" installs according to the terminal.

Probably erroring there, then. Can run in Konsole directly to get the output to help debug:

~/.pikdum/steam-deck-master/vortex/install-vortex.sh

Ok, i get past the previous wall. But now im stuck at the lines after. "... download proton" and "Steam_runtime_path". I assume its trying to download them(forgive me, i dont use linux. But i am competent in modding on windows). My internet is fine at 50 mb/s. It gave me the error that "Downloading vortex: typeerror: fetch failed" And Error : connect enetrunreach... bunch of numbers

[pikdum]

Fetch failed means the download failed. Can't figure out much more without the entire log.

[cocomunges]

F** i literally just closed my console, i didnt copy and paste because i think it had my IP(Maybe it was just the general one, it started with 192.) Is there a way to pull up an error log? Sorry

[pikdum]

Nope, but you can just re-run it.

I'm experiencing a similar situation and this is the error code:

Do you have SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper installed to the SD card instead of internal storage? Right now it only works if installed to internal storage.

[pikdum]

Added support for SLR Sniper installed on SD card. So might work if you:

• run the update shortcut
• re-try the vortex installation

Thank you, this was 100% the issue i had. It works now!
