Greetings. New to Lutris (and Linux), and so far, everything worked out fine. System Info:
OS: Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon
Cinnamon Version: 5.8.4
Kernel: 5.15.0-86-generic
Having Trouble running the native Lutris Dolphin runner. Whenever installing the runner over GUI, it just won’t launch. I tried with “Disable Lutris Runtime” on and off, and “Prefer system library” on and off.
Trying to run the executable in the runner folder gives this error:
./dolphin-emu: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.60: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Checking the “lib” folder: libavformat.so.60 is right there. I’m assuming the executable doesn’t look into this folder for the shared libs.
I tried LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/***/.local/share/lutris/runners/dolphin/lib
but the error remains.
Installing Dolphin via flatpak works just fine, so I’m assuming it’s not because of some missing or broken packages. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you
You get an error message when trying to run the executable from the runner folder? I get literally nothing.
Nothing happens, just like when trying to launch from Lutris. Did you ever figure this out?
I only get the error message when launching the executable in command line (“cd ” and then “./dolphin-emu”).
Unfortunately I have not figured this out. I have resorted to an Appimage of an older Dolphin version I found online. I downloaded the Runner normally (via Lutris preferences) and then, I put the Appimage in the same folder as the executable.
Then, in the runner options I set the Appimage as the custom executable for this runner.
It works, but unfortunately I’m now stuck with this older Version of dolphin. Hopefully someone can help, or maybe the official Dolphin download page will start hosting Appimages of current versions.
sorry for necroposting but this is still a problem for me. Does any solution got found?
This may be super late and but I am on Pop OS and was using these threads to try and find a solution. Ironically, I just started randomly clicking on shit hoping something would eventually work.
tl;dr
/snap/bin/dolphin-emulator.dolphin-emu
I ran this as custom executable for the runner after snap install(please dont ask the terminal command, im intoxicated and have been on and off trying to get this shit to work for a month but it fucking works bois!)
also to note, I know we all practice good rom loading behaviors with our own physical copies of no longer available gamecube games but Lutris does not recognize the compressed. rvz or nvz whatever it only recognizes .iso
The Snap app itself is fucking gar bajjj and reminds me of some 2000s y2k shit early build but if my screenshot werent so massive I could show step by step, however I can confirm that this Snap has worked for me and I can make a game repo like an external dolphin launcher to utilize controller and cheats if youre into that
hopefully this helps someone, will try to remember to clean the garbage post in the morning gg bois
