Fantastic!! We’ll need some Ubuntu validation, who better than our Budgies in arms? xD

OK so we’re about ready to start our initial testing for this - but we’re gonna need a bit of help.

The store won’t accept the base snap. :smiley:

You just solved the problem, which flatpak Steam got!!! Vulkan problem :slight_smile:

Was never a problem for me :slight_smile: I spoke with TingPing on #flatpak IRC earlier to give them some helpful hints to get stuff working.

@ikey It’s quite amazing that you managed to get all of that working before we even consider base snaps finished! Well done. :slight_smile:

Ah well yknow, something to pass the time :stuck_out_tongue:

I installed it, moved all my games over and uninstalled my normal steam. I’ll report any issue I find

Thanks - we’ve done a few revisions since as I’m still fighting with Ubuntu’s multiarch breaking the NVIDIA
drivers from within the system… will let folks know where we’re at.

Got an Ubuntu install going and fixing the last integration issues there…

Available as another Ubuntu tester if needed.

As soon as those patches in the PPA I’ll take you up on that :smiley:

Sounds good! Is it limited to specific games? Or is it wholesale in any game? I had not been following dev closely.

It’ll work with the majority of games. Couple of issues though, if the game happens to be on a separate partition, then the Feral launcher will fail with a white window, due to apparmor issues.

So how do I uninstall eveything to-do with the deb steam package, I installed after 17.10

& then install this lovely package ?
