Title, I follow the instructions present on the github and it only freezes for roughly ten seconds or so before unfreezing, no coatings appear in the list, and though I have the names of visor colors, they just totally black out whatever model I try to import the color on. Any advice? Tried both flatpak and normal installation of Blender w/ Ekur. I have full read-write permissions for both folders and they're both in the same partition.

Are you running blender with flatpak or through your package manager?
velvet veldt
Package manager.
Discovery specifically, installed Blender and all its dependencies.
lean geyser
just type blender into your terminal then
it should open blender with command line output
velvet veldt

ah this happened to me too. Long story short ekur automatically compiles itself for Ubuntu which creates some issues. Once I get home i'll send you a proper executable
velvet veldt
Sick, ty!

@lean geyser Hey, apologies if I'm being a pest but I was wondering how things are going? Both in a 'what's up with Ekur' and a 'is whatever your trip is going well'?

@velvet veldt can you put this in your ~/.config/blender/5.1/extensions/.user/thehaloarchive_github_io/ekur
and replace the ekur-1.1.9?
oh and don't forget to chmod +x it
velvet veldt
<@154004575433523200> can you put this in your ~/.config/blender/5.1/extensions/...
Will do soon and be sure to update you!

One step forward...
lean geyser
One step forward...
can't say i've ever seen this. i know its a big ask, but are you able to compile ekur?
just git clone the repo with submodules
https://github.com/TheHaloArchive/ekur.git
then run cargo build --release
yknow i think whats causing this bug. its undefined behavior in the decompressor ekur uses... ugh
i spent all this time writing this thing in Rust to avoid this lol
but building on your own machine should work
velvet veldt
can't say i've ever seen this. i know its a big ask, but are you able to compile...
Sure, I've compiled from git sources before
Hmh
All submodules built as well
Huh, Cargo.toml files are present..
lean geyser
Huh, Cargo.toml files are present..
oh sorry, cd to crates/ekur
velvet veldt
Ah, right-
velvet veldt
oh sorry, cd to crates/ekur
Done!
I'm guessing I take the Target folder and drop it into my Blender add-ons folder?
Er, release folder, not target
lean geyser
Er, release folder, not target
just the "ekur" file. And rename it ekur-1.1.9
velvet veldt
👍🏻

I'm having the same issue where it showed up once and then stopped working except I don't have a .user folder under extensions. I do have blender installed on steam if that has anything to do with it.

Any folders starting with a . are marked as hidden in Linux's file-system.

You and I are having two separate problems then.
Linux is an entirely different Operating System.
My solution will be different from yours, and our problems (while similar) likely stem from different issues.
Best bet is to make your own thread.

@lean geyser if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is wrong with the plug-in that prevents it from working on Fedora?

it's quite complex but basically, ekur depends on a decompression library called kraken. there's a hack in kraken that allocates memory in a way that uses less RAM but it assumes some things about the system it runs on
its not really about the distro, more or so your cpu/kernel. the next ekur release will work around the hack to make it compatible
velvet veldt
Thank you!

I could swap back to the base Linux Kernel if need be? I use the CachyOS kernel on my Fedora install rn. Additionally is there an ETA on the Ekur update or is it a 'when its ready' sorta' deal?

lemm do a full uninstall and reinstall of blender.
lean geyser
@velvet veldt atp no idea what might be causing it.. I'm sorry to say but it might be worth booting into windows or something
velvet veldt
sigh.
I've since removed windows because the updates kept overwirting my Linux install sooo...Yeah, that's it IG.
lean geyser
Maybe try on another pc
velvet veldt
Thanks for spending so much time trying to help me either way. It does mean a lot.
