Steam Deck - I will pay a nerd to get Knossos working.
Meadiator:
Firstly thanks for all the work that's already gone into this! Been itching to get FSO + Knossos working on the Deck since it came out!
Been running eagerly running through the TLDR and hit a couple of issues - one I've managed to solve, the other has me stumped, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
First issue (fixed) was when running "sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux" it was just throwing up database does not exist errors. Seems to be a SteamOS 3.4 issue. Fix (thanks google) was as follows:
Edit /etc/pacman.conf (sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf) and modify these:
Change [jupiter] to [jupiter-rel]
[holo] to [holo-rel]
[core] to [core-rel]
[extra] to [extra-rel]
[community] to [community-rel]
[multilib] to [multilib-rel]
Ctrl + O save
Ctrl + X exit
sudo pacman -Sy
Rest of the steps then work fine until the final install step "cd ~/pkgbuild/fs2-knossos" where I just get
bash: cd: /home/deck/pkgbuild/fs2-knossos: No such file or directory
So yeah, if anyone has any idea's I'd be incredibly grateful!

OOOOOOOOF. My bad, that line was left in from an old method. IT ISN'T NECESSARY, just keep going in the guide. Sorry for delaying your fun. It was designed to take you back to a directory you created earlier, but that directory is no longer necessary. It's deleted from the guide. Let me know if there are other issues.

Haha no worries! That's now gotten me significantly further, although still not working :(
Knossos opens, but just with an empty grey window. I've seen mention of it in previous posts, but did see any mention of what the fix was?
Edit: I've made it worse! No Knossos window at all now.
Reading between the lines of some of the posts I decided to redo the steps relating to the qt5-webengine, did the uninstall step, but now can't reinstall it again just get
"error: target not found: python-pyqt5-webenigne"
Redone all the preceding steps to try and dig myself out and it hasn't helped.
Edit 2: Fixed it! I'm in there :D reinstalled the qt5-webengine stuff another way (full disclosure I have no idea what these commands actually do but this is what worked for me)
sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm --needed \
python-pyqt5 qt5-webengine qt5-svg qt5-webkit \
Massive thanks for all the help and to everyone involved! Going to play me some Freespace!!!

Okay, Just in case it helps another user, I added that line to the TLDR edit, but I'm not sure I got it exactly as you typed it in. I also don't want to mess up my install, so I'm just throwing it in with a note. Super glad you got it working. Reach back out if you need more help with controls or other settings.

Just updated SteamOS and verified that the reinstall instructions worked. Add a comment if it doesn't work for you.
