To be fair, the install instructions mentions to run it in desktop mode not via ssh. Alternatively you can run it in a virtual tty although it will fail to add the game mode shortcuts as Steam client wont launch without a GUI.
I've updated the github with the info regarding running the script on ssh or virtual tty sessions. Script is a work in progress and I look for ways to improve it. I'll add more sanity checks in addition to the existing sanity checks. Thank you for your feedback.
updated the script thank you for your feedback!
added more sanity checks - Exit immediately if not running on Desktop Mode. Script needs to be run in Desktop Mode as mentioned in README. Perform cleanup when waydroid initialization fails and exit immediately.
The most annoying part is it reports it completed successfully, however no shortcuts have actually been added to game mode, and it finished much quicker than when I later tried it through Konsole so I suspect Android was never actually downloaded and installed either.
I ran the uninstall script which similarly had a ton of error messages, though I didn't capture that output as I did it on the Deck itself.
Ran the install script via Konsole on the Deck and that worked much better.
Would be nice if the install script worked over SSH, if possible.
At least the install script should do minimal error checking and bail with cleanup if something goes wrong, and never report success incorrectly. The current behavior is confusing and misleading.
