hello I'd like to know if I can play League on the deck with a keyboard and mouse in docked mode.

I wasn't able to follow this guide it was to complicated

Also I thought league of linux moved to lemmy

What part did you get stuck on?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wasn't sure if I did step 3 or 4 correctly a d when I did step 5 it failed.

[–] Synthead@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How did you do step 3 and 4, and how did you know step 5 failed?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

On step 3 I went to /etc/pacman.conf and I couldnt find [multilib] I could only find [multilib-rel]. So I added '[multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist' like the guide said. Then I did sudo pacman -Syu and the update failed.

holo-rel is up to date core-rel is up to date extra-rel is up to date community-rel is up to date multilib-rel is up to date multilib.db failed to download error: failed retrieving file 'multilib.db' from steamdeck-packages.steamos.cloud : The requested URL returned error: 404 error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)

This is my pacman.conf file and at the bottom is the line I added for multilib.

Then after that I went through the steps and got to installing lutris. Which gave me this error for every package required. Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y error: python-lxml: signature from "Felix Yan " is unknown trust :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-lxml-4.9.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] ^C

Thank you for the great logs and very thorough reply! Here's what I'd do!

On step 3 I went to /etc/pacman.conf and I couldnt find [multilib] I could only find [multilib-rel]. So I added ‘[multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist’ like the guide said. Then I did sudo pacman -Syu and the update failed.

holo-rel is up to date core-rel is up to date extra-rel is up to date community-rel is up to date multilib-rel is up to date multilib.db failed to download error: failed retrieving file ‘multilib.db’ from steamdeck-packages.steamos.cloud : The requested URL returned error: 404 error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)

Since the [multilib-rel] section is already there, I'd just make sure that's uncommented. I wouldn't add the [multilib] section. Seems like that could be a typo perhaps. In the upstream Arch mirrors, it's [multilib], so they probably got it mixed up. If this works, I'd write the author of this guide to have them correct it.

Then after that I went through the steps and got to installing lutris. Which gave me this error for every package required. Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y error: python-lxml: signature from "Felix Yan " is unknown trust :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-lxml-4.9.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] ^C

Sounds like the PGP keys are either not synced or out-of-date. Assuming the Deck works like upstream Arch, you should be able to run:

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate

After this, try your pacman command again.

Hope this works! Let me know if you run into any more friction and I'm happy to help!

Shit like that is making me regret my switch a lot

[–] priapus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why does that guide recommend turning turning of Lutris runtime and installing wine dependencies manually? That's the entire point of the Lutris runtime. It should work with fine skipping straight to installing through Lutris.

Doesn't proton-ge have a specific build for LoL that makes this shit basically trivial?

[–] priapus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It should just work through Lutris

[–] onelikeandidie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I've been playing league on the steam deck using lutris for over a year now, it was literally a 1 click install!

[–] cevn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It works last time I checked, which was a few months ago.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago

You could, but then you would be playing League.

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Riot games on Linux are either a pain in the backside, or don't work as far as I've seen. A bit disappointing IMO

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago

I've been playing lol for years on linux.

[–] neku@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

I used Fedora for 6 months and only had issues because of Riot Games (pushing bad updates that break Linux/Lutris). Linux itself was perfect
