Many issues of Lutris

I am facing several issues on Lutris. I have searched for answers, and I am honestly still lost.

Launching it in Konsole, this is what it gives me.

To list the issues:

  • Cannot install the EA app or Ubisoft Connect
  • Crashes when trying to login to the Itch or Gog tabs

How was lutris installed?
As a SNAP ?

:bangbang: Tip: :bangbang:

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

For more information, please see:


:bangbang::bangbang: Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Yes

sudo snap install lutris

sudo snap install --beta lutris

both failed, so i ended up doing

sudo snap install --edge lutris

thank you

Use the one from the extra repository instead:

pamac install lutris

Don’t forget to uninstall the snap one:

sudo snap remove lutris

well that didn’t go as planned: now, many of the previously solved issues are back

  • there is no EA app, only the deprecated Origin app
  • trying to sign in only shows blank screen, for all apps

Well, I’m no gamer, really, but I think:

  • there is no need for the EA app itself, AFAIK you can use Lutris to install and use the game on its own. I also don’t really like those kind of apps, but I’m obviously in the minority here.
  • I think you can install the app as a game and use it that way.
  • Like I mentioned, I’m no gamer, but the 2 games I occasionally play works beautifully: Starcraft II using Lutris, and World Turtles using steam.

That still gets away from the main problem I am trying to solve; the issues listed by the terminal on launching Lutris. What I am asking is, how do I fix specifically these listed issues.

This error was caused by snap, I suspect it would’ve been fixed if you actually removed the snap and isn’t using it anymore.

This one was also caused by snap…so the same would’ve applied, AFAIK.

Please provide the output of:

which lutris

and

snap list

Edit:

To fix it, you have to know what causes it and treat that and not the symptoms. Much like a doctor. In fact, like a doctor.

for first one

which lutris                                                                                         ✔ 
/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin/lutris

for second one

snap list                                                                                            ✔

Still using the SNAP. A number of them apparently.
( SNAP = something that is supposed to be bundled with everything it needs, but may not be, meaning its large, but you cant handle the dependencies if it was bundled incorrectly. Even better when combined with its other features of ‘containerization’ meaning it wont interface with the rest of your system as expected, and yet no, that doesnt actually mean its safer. The thoroughly inferior software deployment model. :sweat_smile: )

…so despite having been told multiple times to not use snap, because it only causes problems, as you’re experiencing, you refuse to do so, and then wwant to know why it doesn’t work…

Hmnmm…

OK, I’m out.

but what do I use instead? using the other method gives me an outdated client that can’t do the ea games…

As it says on Download Lutris

Updates on Manjaro are delayed

because that’s how Manjaro stable branch works. The latest Lutris 0.5.14 version is on the testing and unstable branches. So you can either;

  • Wait for 0.5.14 to get to stable branch

  • Switch to testing or unstable branch - Switching Branches - Manjaro

  • Try the Flatpak version which might or might not work better than Snap

I suggest you install the version from the repositories, and use THAT to install the games. Bu my suggestions have been ignored all the way, so it’s only that - a suggestion.

Also see:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/v0cpdf/guide_install_ea_play_the_easy_way_with_lutris/

By the way, I realize now how rude I came off… I’m sorry for not listening closer and having just fled at the very first problem I faced. I followed through now with your instruction of removing the snap version. Mr lavender recommending the flatpak helped. But again, after my stupidity, thank you for the help. The guide on getting EA to work helped, so thank you.

well I guess Flatpak was the missing link. thank you, got lutris and the services running proper now.

It wasnt flatpak …it was just … not SNAP.
Which has been the suggestion since the beginning.

i blame my new user idiocy for that… and being a dumbass in general
