Steamtinkerlaunch wont Launch Language Error #583

Closed taynotfound closed 2 years ago

taynotfound commented 2 years ago

Nothing works and it always gives me this error:

Do 15. Sep 17:01:27 CEST 2022 ERROR - loadLanguage - ############################### Do 15. Sep 17:01:27 CEST 2022 ERROR - loadLanguage - No language file could be loaded! For the initial setup at least one file (default english) is required Do 15. Sep 17:01:27 CEST 2022 ERROR - loadLanguage - You can ether copy a valid file to '/home/tay/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/lang' or '/usr/share/steamtinkerlaunch/lang' or provide an absolute path via command line using the lang= option Do 15. Sep 17:01:27 CEST 2022 ERROR - loadLanguage - ###############################

Idk what the problem is

frostworx commented 2 years ago

Elaborate - how was it installed, which command was used, full logs...

Random483 commented 2 years ago

I had the same issue. It popped up when I tried to run any command with steamtinkerlaunch.

I've attached the log file. I found that by editing ~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/global.conf so that STLLANG="englishUK" instead of just "english" and manually copying the language files into ~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/lang it resolved the issue.

Now to update my yad!

If you installed SteamTinkerLaunch manually, that step of adding the language file is required. If you installed via your package manager though or with sudo make install, this should've been managed for you.

If you have to update Yad, are you running on Ubuntu? Just curious :smile:

P.S. It's not on Flathub yet, but ProtonUp-Qt v2.7.3 has SteamTinkerLaunch support and has code specifically to check and set the language appropriately. If you installed manually (which afaik you have to do on Ubuntu if you aren't using Pacstall), this is a better approach.

If you did install via package manager, maybe this is a package management issue.

Where do i find the Lang Files?

sonic2kk commented 2 years ago

SteamTinkerLaunch stores logs in various places but the most convenient is likely /dev/shm/steamtinkerlaunch. The Readme makes note of SteamTinkerLaunch logging.

Could you also detail some other things?

Where do i find the Lang Files?

This will depend on how you installed SteamTinkerLaunch. If you downloaded it manually, it'll be in the lang folder of wherever you downloaded STL. They can also be found on this repository.

Version 11.0 How installed I think it was via the Repo itself. I defo used make install Distro Ubuntu

Okay copying the file helped. Now i got this error:

So 18. Sep 00:09:09 CEST 2022 ERROR - checkIntDeps - xdotool not found! So 18. Sep 00:09:09 CEST 2022 ERROR - checkIntDeps - '' was not found! Check 'steamtinkerlaunch --help' for alternatives and/or read 'https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Yad' So 18. Sep 00:09:09 CEST 2022 ERROR - checkIntDeps - Yad version '0' is too old. You need to update to at least '7.2'

taynotfound commented 2 years ago

Okay xdotool is installed now its only yad

taynotfound commented 2 years ago

Okay i think i got it done myself

sonic2kk commented 2 years ago

Thanks! So you did a manual install with Ubuntu. You have probably gathered as much by now but please make sure you read the Hard Dependencies section of the Installation wiki page, as not all distros will package all programs needed for STL.

The Ubuntu wiki notes that Ubuntu needs various extra dependencies and details how to install Yad. However it should probably note the step about the language files, I will add this now.

taynotfound commented 2 years ago

Thank you! It now seems to work completely fine ^^

sonic2kk commented 2 years ago

Glad you got it sorted :-) I am in the process of overhauling the Ubuntu wiki on the back of this issue. Closing this issue now, hope you don't mind. Happy tinkering!

Good guess. I'm currently trying a few different distros. This install was on mint, though I had a similar experience installing on PopOS. I believe both are Ubuntu based.

I'm currently trialing manjaro, but I'll bare that tip on ProtonUp in mind if I switch back (I quite liked PopOS).

Yup, they're both based on Ubuntu! :smile:

ProtonUp-Qt should be available for virtually all (relatively standard) distributions, but you might be able to install via the AUR on Manjaro too :smile: That package is actually maintained by Frostworx, the creator of STL.

The Ubuntu wiki has been updated (https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Ubuntu-&-Derivitives) with instructions for the language files, and the Distro-Specific section of the Installation wiki (https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Installation#ubuntu-and-ubuntu-based-distributions-pop_os-linux-mint-etc) has been updated to reflect these steps as well.

Sorry you ran into this issue, but the updated wiki should prevent others from running into this problem as well.
