Can't hear TF2 mercenaries and a few other sounds

[left dew]

I'm on Linux and I'm getting these errors in the console. Any guesses?

NEVERMIND I got it with some more digging

sudo setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1 did the trick. I don't know why

[fickle mist]

"I don't know why" is such a Linux thing to say

It really is

basically, the audio engine or something that tf2 uses has a unpatched vulnerability and SELinux blocks this for obvious reasons

[bold sand]

its not good to do that because it disable for everything, instead, you can only allow tf2 for this

the thread with how to do it, the third party package doesn't work properly on my experience so i recommend do it manually

and it was fixed in the x64 beta branch

So how would I go about undoing that command I did?

[bold sand]

sudo setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 0

Thank you!

[left dew]

so I tried this but it doesn't seem to work

what gives?

[bold sand]

you need sudo

[left dew]

sudo ausearch -c 'hl2_linux' --raw | audit2allow -M my-hl2linux so this?

[bold sand]

yes

and the second command from the github also needs sudo

ah looks like it worked!

let me test TF2

yippie!!!

It works!!!

I thank you! You helped a ton!
