v0.11.1 - Not launching the game (ubuntu)

[lietuv1s]

Describe the bug/error For the life of me - im too stupid to figure out why it wont launch. Official launcher works. Before reinstall on kde(konsole) it was running fine. Gnome-terminal is playing hard to get now. It acts like its launching but closes after waiting 10-15sec on the last line.

Some notes:

• I am running Steam(deb) on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
• my Steam launch option is: "gnome-terminal -- ./MinEdLauncher %command% /autorun /autoquit /edh4" (/edo - same outcome)
• The min-ed-laucher settings file is whatever was auto-generated on its first startup
• I have tried with multiple Proton versions with no luck

Hate taking your time yet here we are. Let me know if I can provide any other information that would be useful.

Thanks!

Does the Proton and/or Elite process actually start or is the launcher failing to start anything?

Does a different terminal emulator work?

Has your SteamLinuxRuntime always been installed on a different drive than your game? I have run into issues when proton isn't in ~/.local/share/Steam (symlinks didn't work either). I'm not sure if it's also the case for the runtime.

If you try to run it manually does the game start (you might need to double check the paths)?

I cannot see launcher doing anything else apart from showing the log and exiting. I hope this answers something:

Does a different terminal emulator work?

Alacrity actually launches the game properly (correct login and i can proceed to play the game). Although it closes itself just before the game is launched. Is this expected behavior? Do you want me to try Konsole?

I have GE-proton which always installed itself in ".local/share". I tried shuffling "SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper" around: second SSD next to game, then main System (/) through Steam-Settings-Storage. Left it there for time being. Outcome with both terminals is the same - Alacrity launches while gnome-terminal doesnt. My drive setup just in case: / - System SSD /home/ricardas/Games/ - Second SSD (where Elite has always been) /home/ricardas/HDD/ - Storage HDD

Launches FD launcher and starts the game properly. Although i have to manually close the FD launcher after.

** Please note - im trying to provide information to the best of my ability. Im sorry if i failed to understand your questions. Switched to linux a year ago. Up until the end of spring was using Kubuntu, hence kde/konsole. Now giving Ubuntu/Gnome a go. Also THANK YOU for your time and this amazing tool.

I cannot see launcher doing anything else apart from showing the log and exiting.

If you run a process monitor (something like top if you don't have a preferred one), do you see Elite or anything Proton related (proton, pressure-vessel, etc...).

Although it closes itself just before the game is launched.

That's actually a recent change. It is expected, but if you'd prefer it to stay open until the game closes you can use /autoquit waitForExit.

If you try to run it manually does the game start (you might need to double check the paths)?

It sounds like there may be an issue specifically with running via gnome-terminal. I'll see if I can replicate it on my end.

You're providing great detail. Thanks for that.

Filter for pressure or vessel doesnt give me much. "Elite" or "Proton" gives me this (sorry for white square):
