I’ve been trying to get Eden emulator set up in Nobara the past couple of days. I was able to get the AppImage working via Gear Lever and get various roms hooked up.
The trouble is that the File/Edit/Help/etc. Tabs at the top of the window are needed for a lot of settings, and they seem to be missing. I’m not sure if this is a Wayland problem, but I forced it to run through XWayland with the command:
env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY <appimage directory>
The menus are still missing even in XWayland, and I’m not sure what else to do at this point. I’m still a Linux noob right now. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but any help is appreciated
Belated but, I suggest running the appimage in your terminal, it’ll give you a console output. See what errors you get. It complains Wayland support is broken immediately, so I assume it’s running XWayland like you’re doing.
But on my end, I have the menu bar no issue there. Just a spam of fontconfig errors that don’t seem to matter.
Tbh, none of the errors messages I get seem major. This is all I’m getting:
vulkan-check: Handled $LIB path in /usr/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d/vkBasalt.json
Wayland is disabled due to known issues set I_WANT_A_BROKEN_WAYLAND_UI=1 if you still want to use it
WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only. qt.qpa.services: Failed to register with host portal QDBusError(“org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed”, “Could not register app ID: App info not found for ‘dev.eden_emu.eden’”)
zsync2: Using CA bundle found on system: /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem eden.appimage is up to date
That hasn’t been my experience but I’m using CachyOS with KDE, plus I haven’t updated recently…
I’m not at home to test an updated Appimage but I’ll double post tomorrow morning after work if I run into the same bug.
Meantime you could possibly open an issue ticket here: https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/issues
I logged the error with them. Turns out they only allow issues to be submitted on a connected github repo. Apparently they don’t want many people signing up on their private git repository
