Lumafly Linux Setup

[main gull]

Hello. I'm trying to setup lumafly on my linux laptop (not steam deck). I'm mostly confused by how to run the file properly. If I don't run it with sudo, I can't install mods because it doesn't have access to root directories where the game files are stored. If I do run it with sudo, I can't start the game because steam (understandably) won't run with root privileges. It seemed inconvenient, but I tried installing the mods first and then restarting the program to launch the game, but the installed mods were then listed with the warning shown in the image. The game still started, but not all of the mods loaded which might be unrelated, but I've never had an issue on windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TL;DR I'm not sure what the intended setup is for linux where you need root privileges to install mods, but can't have them to run the game.

I'm working with Lumafly v3.2.0.0. I would post the ModLog.txt file since the FAQ says to include it, but discord won't let me for some reason and I don't think that this is a mod issue, just a lumafly issue, so it probably isn't relevant.

As far as I'm aware, it shouldn't have needed to be run as Sudo to originally install mods.
That being said the easiest thing at this point might be to install everything with sudo, but then run chmod on the install directory to give all groups access to it so that the game runs fine

For future reference in case anyone else has this issue, I solved it by giving all users access to the Managed folder sudo chmod ugo+rwx Managed -R I then had to uninstall and reinstall all of the mods without root permissions. It seems to be working now though.

Assuming you use the right flags, you shouldn't need to uninstall them (because one of the options is to apply the changes to all directories and files). That aside, I'm glad that you were able to get it working
