Game in ntfs-3g disks fail to launch
Hi,
My disk is mounted by root with in /etc/fstab :
UUID="<UUIDHERE>" /media/data ntfs-3g defaults,uid=0,git=0,umask=0
Mount report :
/dev/sdb1 on /media/data type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
When I try to run Tropico 5 :
cd /media/data/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier
./run ../Tropico\ 5/Tropico5
pressure-vessel-wrap[818347]: E: Unable to set mode of "./bin" in "/media/data/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/var/tmp-QDO280/usr": fchmod: Opération non permise
With steam log I have :

For me it seems that steam try do do stuff not supported by ntfs-3g, may you please install soldier and other stuff in the local home and not on a hard disk where you may not have all accesses ?
Best regards
Without compatibility I get :

The "Steam Linux Runtime - soldier" compatibility tool appears in your library as though it was a game, and you can install it into any Steam library you want to use. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4BD4-4528-6B2E-8327#move
It's normally installed into whichever Steam library you have chosen as your default.
Proton behaves the same - you can move each version of Proton between libraries with the same mechanism.
For me it seems that steam try do do stuff not supported by ntfs-3g
The container runtime can work on ntfs-3g, I've used it like that myself. However, the filesystem needs to be set up to appear as though it's owned by the Steam user. I think I used uid=1001,gid=1001,umask=022 where 1001 is the numeric user ID of the user that will run Steam: that gives everything rwxr-xr-x permissions.
umask=0
This allows every user, including system users, to carry out privilege escalation and gain the privileges of any user who runs programs from the ntfs-3g drive. I would not recommend this permission setting.
@kisak-valve, I think we can close this as a duplicate of #434 - as far as I can tell, it's essentially the same issue.
Today's beta releases work around this, to the extent that it's possible to do so (see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/434#issuecomment-1710491239).
