Wallpaper Engine not working

Hiya, I'm considering purchasing wallpaper engine bc it says its compatible with bazzite but after following the link on bazzite.gg it takes me to a github with instructions for many distros, Bazzite is not mentioned specifically but it does mention fedora and fedora-kinoite. Just making the ticket to confirm that someone here has followed a similar guide and that it DOES work.

Ik "tias" but id rather not spend the money and have to deal with steam returns if someone has experience with it already.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME<3

For bazzite KDE it is pretty much preconfigured for you

So since im on kde I would just buy WE and it'll just werks?

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 1:33 AM

It should

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 1:34 AM

You will need to install it somewhere to subscribe to wallpapers iirc

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 1:34 AM

And after that it will be in KDE’s wallpaper settings

LSOP•12/6/24, 1:35 AM

what do you mean install it to somewhere? like just click "install" on steam or?

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 1:35 AM

That will work

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 1:35 AM

The key part is just subscribing to steam workshop stuff

LSOP•12/6/24, 1:53 AM

Uhhhhh its not showing any of my installed plugins and my wallpaper looks like this

LSOP•12/6/24, 1:53 AM

LSOP•12/6/24, 1:53 AM

I set the library folder and its still not working

LSOP•12/6/24, 1:53 AM

and ive restarted the pc

LSOP•12/6/24, 1:54 AM

i subscribed to a bunch of papers too just incase a few dont work but none of them are appearing

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 1:55 AM

Try

rpm -qa | grep websockets

rpm -qa | grep websockets

in the terminal

LLinus Xu Try `rpm -qa | grep websockets` in the terminal

LSOP•12/6/24, 1:56 AM

nothing has changed in regards to this after running that

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 1:58 AM

Does the about tab say anything about the error?

LSOP•12/6/24, 1:58 AM

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 1:59 AM

I recall having similar errors in the past but it just resolved itself at some point…

LSOP•12/6/24, 1:59 AM

hmmm...

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 2:00 AM

Like from what I’m seeing there’s nothing wrong with your setup rn

LSOP•12/6/24, 2:02 AM

yeah its kinda confusing to me

LSOP•12/6/24, 2:12 AM

@Linus Xu When you hover over your "library" button in kde do you see this?

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 2:12 AM

Same as yours

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 2:13 AM

(Except for username ofc)

LSOP•12/6/24, 2:14 AM

Hmm... What about compatability on steam itself, Which proton do you have it installed under?

Linus Xu•12/6/24, 2:14 AM

Proton 9.0-3 on my end

Hugo H5•12/9/24, 4:59 AM
