requesting package fuse2 even being installed about conty HOT 13 CLOSED

Does it work if you run conty.sh directly, not by using a symlink?

from conty.

Thanks the answer, i was think on this feature *autostart in release 1.3, i assumed if would work on 1.4 release

from conty.

Well, this autostart feature should work on 1.4 release too and this error you get probably not related to it. So, if you run conty.sh without using a symlink, like:

./conty.sh wine some.exe

Does it give you the game error "Please install fuse2 and run the script again!"?

Also, what this command shows?

command -v fusermount

from conty.

works like a charm with ./conty.sh wine app.

from conty.

Hm, interesting. What about command -v fusermount, what does it show?

from conty.

returns:
/usr/bin/fusermount

from conty.

Something really weird is going on here, and i can't reproduce this on my end. There is only one place in the script that is realted to this message:

if command -v fusermount 1>/dev/null; then
	fmount=fusermount
else
	echo "Please install fuse2 and run the script again!"
	exit 1
fi

For some reason when you run Conty by using a symlink named "wine" it can't find "fusermount" in your PATH and gives you the error.

I don't know how this is even possible, but i'll try to figure out. You use Arch Linux, right?

from conty.

Yes, Arch Linux

from conty.

What if they lie in the same directory, like:

ln -s conty.sh wine
./wine app

Does this work?

from conty.

In the same directory works.

I have the habit of using symlinks on .local/bin , this caused this situation, because, the conty.sh file stays on another directory (Downloads, for example) , a have made a symlink of him and another with name wine.

Now i know what i must do to work the way i want, thanks Kron4ek

Ok, thanks for the information, i was able to reproduce this. I still consider this a bug and i will try fix it.

from conty.

I figured out why this actually happens. This happens when a directory where your symlink lies is present in your PATH (like your .local/bin). For example:

mkdir /home/user/testdir
cd /home/user/testdir
export PATH="/home/user/testdir:${PATH}"
ln -s /home/user/conty.sh wine
./wine app

So Conty automatically executes wine, but since it's present in your PATH it executes wine from your PATH, which is actually a symlink to conty.sh, so it executes itself within itself.

If fusermount would be installed inside the Conty, then it would be an infinite recursion - it would execute ./wine ./wine ./wine ./wine (which is actually ./conty.sh ./conty.sh ./conty.sh ./conty.sh) ... infinitely, if i'm not wrong. This is a really interesting bug.

Fixed in the latest release.
