Lutris Doesn't Show up in Discover

Support
1

I ran the command

flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default

in Konsole, and each asked me for versions- I chose the latest on each and they were already installed.

I then searched for Lutris in the Discover App, but it only shows an app Add exe games to Lutris library, which I assume is not Lutris.

What could I have done wrong?

I have the exact same problem and asked that question here too. It makes no sense and I can’t find answers to it anywhere but at least I know that it’s not just me

Did you ever find a solution?

No, I just asked that question a few days ago and so far there’s no response

Valve has marked the Beta Flatpak repo to be hidden in the GUIs in recent update.

You have to use the final command from the Flatpak instructions at the end:

# Install Lutris:
flatpak install flathub-beta net.lutris.Lutris

Longer explanation

The only differences between the SteamOS and Flatpak instructions are:

  1. Adding the Flatpak Beta repo in Flatpak (already set in SteamOS - skip if you are on Steam Deck)

  2. Installing the dependency is the same between the two (using the stable Flatpak channel):

flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default
  1. Installing Lutris itself.
    The SteamOS instructions need to be updated as they are targeting the GUI installer - Discover (now the Beta Flatpaks like Lutris are hidden after a recent update). The Flatpak instructions are defaulting to the command-line, which has to be used on Steam Deck at the moment:
flatpak install flathub-beta net.lutris.Lutris

Update:

Looks like Lutris will be joining the Stable Flatpak channel soon so it will show up in Discover:

yeah, I’ve received a patch for this issue already. I haven’t pushed it yet. Also, with the 0.5.11 beta out, we should be releasing 0.5.11 final soon and we’ll make this release available in Flathub stable so Lutris will be available from the Discover app

Note:
The update to SteamOS instructions has been made like 2 weeks ago?
See: Correct installation instructions for Steam Deck · lutris/website@9fa5492 · GitHub

But it hasn’t propagated to the website yet :expressionless:

Well, it’s live in the Stable channel of Flathub!

You should be able to see Lutris directly in Discover now.

The only item that should remain as requirement would be the installation of the dependencies:

  1. Install dependencies:
flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default
  1. Open Discover and search for Lutris

Note:
If required, update from Discover first or run manually:
flatpak update --appstream to ensure your system and package list is updated.
