@merari42 using flatpak Steam with the library on a non-home drive.
This sucks.
-
slaps flatseal at steam this bad boi can access so many directories (which when they are in /media or /mnt or /run are detected as disks)
-
How exactly?
-
Flatseal is a gui for the rights management of flatpaks you can change there what access a given application has e.g. filesystem access to directories.
-
Yeah, I mean I went through that to an unsuccessful result. So I was asking what values should people write in which fields.
-
Oh, well it depends where you have mounted your drives on.
you can do that in your file browser, your partition manager or via console with
lsblk.Gnome Disks:
File Browser:
Console:
and add them in the file access list under "Other files".
(I have installed steam directly so OBS had to act as a stand in)restart Steam so that those new permissions can be applied.

it's an app on Flatpak called Flatseal, it's a GUI to give flatpaks permissions and such.
-
Yeah I know, but what do you do with it to be able to use other drives? I tried everything I could when I was using other distros before I settled on Bazzite.
-
I recommend reading up and learning more about flatpaks and their sandboxing. Flatseal is just a GUI implementation of the flatpak CLI.
https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using-flatpak.html
You can also very quickly download Flatseal for yourself to put your own eyes on it. Everything is labeled and has tooltips.
