yeah i have no clue waht the error means other than there being some kind of missing permission, i tried running with sudo that didnt work.

agile briar
#

have you tried restarting your pc?

tardy raptor
#

one second gonna try that

#

same error.

agile briar
#

try clearing your cache then

#

delete the contents of the folder mentioned in the crash log

tardy raptor
#

i already tried that

agile briar
#

did you clear all of the files?

tardy raptor
#

oh wait the mods cache i havent i think

#

lemme check again

#

still crashes

agile briar
#

did you delete the dll mentioned in the crash log?

tardy raptor
#

i deleted the whle cache so yes

#

Imma try rebooting again

agile briar
tardy raptor
#

on the mods folder? ok

agile briar
#

the cache folder

tardy raptor
#

i dont have one i deleted it

agile briar
#

ah

#

show the crash log then

tardy raptor
#

also im getting something else weird

#

after just rebooting it says it looks like celeste or something that looks liek celeste is still running

#

even tho i just rebooted? so waht looks like celeste to everest??

agile briar
#

i have no clue

#

check your processes

tardy raptor
#

sorry, olympus is the mod manager everest is the loader

agile briar
#

correct

tardy raptor
#

even thugh i deleted that folder??

agile briar
#

did you mess around with permissions

tardy raptor
#

no

agile briar
#

well what are the permissions to the cache folder

tardy raptor
#

the whole steam folder is locked but it was always like that even when it was working

agile briar
#

it probably shouldn't be like that

tardy raptor
#

whats the chmod to give permissions to everyone to change stuff in the steam folder? im only user anyways

agile briar
#

i'd do chmod 766

tardy raptor
#

now my mods folder is empyu

#

empty

agile briar
#

im not sure whether that was a good decision

#

you'll have to redownload them now

tardy raptor
#

whatever main annoyance is settings really

#

also how do i kill all celeste or celeste like processes?

agile briar
#

i mean this is something you can google

#

i don't drive linux daily

tardy raptor
#

fair

#

oh btw, its still complainign about permissions.,

agile briar
#

did you pass -R to chmod?

tardy raptor
#

-R is required?

#

ill rerun it

agile briar
#

-R makes it recurse to children

tardy raptor
#

wait wtf
its not letting me even cd into mods now

#

chmod 766 is definitely not right

agile briar
#

then you're not running the terminal as your current user

#

what is the output of whoami

tardy raptor
#

my usesr

agile briar
#

what user owns the celeste folder?

tardy raptor
#

uhh 1 sec

agile briar
#

ls -l it

tardy raptor
#

i own all the folders

agile briar
#

then one of the parent folders doesn't have permissions to let you view the folder

#

i guess

tardy raptor
#

except for saves and mods somehow.

agile briar
#

766 is -rwxrw-rw-

agile briar
#

sudo chown user:user to change the owner of the folder

#

give it -R to make it recursive

tardy raptor
#

so i do sudo chown -R thom:thom Mods while in the base celeste directory?

#

i own mods now

agile briar
#

yea

#

do the same to saves

#

actually do the same for the entire Celeste folder

tardy raptor
#

now do i try again see if it launches?

agile briar
#

yea

tardy raptor
#

btw my mods are back

#

they never uninstalled dolphin just didnt know how to handle no read permissions

#

how tf did those get messed up tho mustve been chmod 766

agile briar
#

the user running dolphin couldn't have been you then

tardy raptor
#

it booted without mods on now lessgo

agile briar
#

if you want to give everything permissions to the entire celeste folder then do chmod 777

tardy raptor
#

somehow the permissions messed themselves up i guess maybe some update did that cuz i didnt touch the folder myself.

#

thanks for the help

agile briar
#

i suppose
