Permission Error on mounted folder when running protontricks --gui

Open Skyknight320 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

When running protontricks --gui, it errors with:

`PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/d2/SteamLibrary

/var/d2 has a seperate hard drive mounted on this directory and the user account running protontricks does not have permission to access this directory.

Giving the user access to this directory fixes this issue, but it should not be attempting to search in this directory because SteamLibrary does not exist there

I'm guessing a Steam library used to exist in that directory? Steam sometimes leaves old configurations around in the ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/libraryfolders.vdf file which Protontricks reads to determine where to look for Steam apps.

If that's not it, you could rerun with protontricks -vv --gui to see if there's some other reason that directory is being read.
