the gui option didn't seem to work, it would just disable itself again. The terminal method did work tho

RealDishwashOP•2/6/24, 10:57 AM

when i tried to enable it through the gui way, it would just have the checkbox unchecked when i had restarted

RealDishwashOP•2/6/24, 10:57 AM

for "Run overlay on startup"

RRealDishwash the gui option didn't seem to work, it would just disable itself again. The term...

think the gui option is meant for normal systems that dont use rpm-ostree

HikariKnight•2/6/24, 10:58 AM

@Trigg would know better since he is the dev of discover-overlay and can tell me if i am wrong

HHikariKnight think the gui option is meant for normal systems that dont use rpm-ostree

RealDishwashOP•2/6/24, 10:59 AM

this was under the bazzite section of the discover-overlay website lol

RealDishwashOP•2/6/24, 11:00 AM

are there variants of bazzite that don't use rpm-ostree?

Discover

Congratulations

Yet another discord overlay for linux

RRealDishwash are there variants of bazzite that don't use rpm-ostree?

HikariKnight•2/6/24, 11:01 AM

nope

RealDishwashOP•2/6/24, 11:02 AM

that's strange, this overlay is dope tho, ty to trigg

HikariKnight•2/6/24, 11:02 AM

well then the issue is that enabling discover-overlay on bazzite requires root however the configurator cant request it (or does not request it)

Trigg•2/6/24, 4:31 PM

My apologies, I missed this whole thread.

Trigg•2/6/24, 4:33 PM

How strange, why was my

/etc/default/discover-overlay

/etc/default/discover-overlay

user writable?

Worth me looking into this again.

it is

Kyle Gospo•2/6/24, 5:17 PM

everything in /etc/ is owned by root and writeable

Kyle Gospo•2/6/24, 5:17 PM

just have to sudoedit it

Trigg•2/6/24, 5:19 PM

ah, I meant in this case simply writing to the file as user - not via sudo

Trigg•2/6/24, 5:21 PM

I know it's not an issue in bazzite - I must have done something a bit more funky with my machine while I was testing it

Most likely you just copied it over as

root

root

after having it edited as your normal user in your home dir

Trigg•2/14/24, 9:36 PM

No, looking back, the file didn't exist on my machine when I worked the feature, so I had created the file owned by my user in that directory
