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?
I wasn’t sure if I did step 3 or 4 correctly a d when I did step 5 it failed.
How did you do step 3 and 4, and how did you know step 5 failed?
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!

Since the
[]section is already there, I’d just make sure that’s uncommented. I wouldn’t add the[]section. Seems like that could be a typo perhaps. In the upstream Arch mirrors, it’s[], 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.

Sounds like the PGP keys are either not synced or out-of-date.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 --populateAfter this, try your
pacmancommand again.More information here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package_signing
Hope this works! Let me know if you run into any more friction and I’m happy to help!
what do you find complicated about it, if i may know?
To be fair that guide is a lot of big command-line prompts for anybody not used to using the terminal, even if it’s all copy-paste
That’s what i was also thinking. Since it’s all copy and paste, it might be worth making it a simple script someone can just run.
I wasn’t sure if I did step 3 or 4 correctly a d when I did step 5 it failed.
Shit like that is making me regret my switch a lot
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?
It should just work through Lutris
I’ve been playing league on the steam deck using lutris for over a year now, it was literally a 1 click install!
In my experience with Ubuntu, it worked quite flawlessly. Just follow Lutris.
It works last time I checked, which was a few months ago.
You could, but then you would be playing League.
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
I’ve been playing lol for years on linux.
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
