Bug: won't start from Steam GUI on Linux

[Matthew Cline]

Version 1.0.5: when I press the "play" button from within the Steam GUI, it says "running" for a second or two, but nothing happens. To actually run the game, I have to start the executable $HOME/.config/Steam/steamapps/common/Balrum/Balrum directly from the command line.

From debug.txt:

64bit Linux
Java: 1.7.0_79
Base: 2.9.3

hi, it's working here with archlinux, openjdk java 8, linux 4.4.3-1. i think ur kernel is too old.

the minimum is ubuntu 12.04 that was linux 3.2 i think u need at least that.

[Matthew Cline]

I'm using Fedora 23, kernel 4.4.4

Also, Balrum comes with it's own version of Java (JRE 1.7.0_79, to be exact).

Hmmm, before running Steam I made sure to unset all the JAVA/JRE/JDK environmental variables, and even put the directory for Balrum's JRE first in $PATH, but that didn't help any.

did u try unsetting the overlay check in steam for balrum?

[Matthew Cline]

Disabling the Steam overlay didn't help.

did u checked the commandline output when u start steam over the commandline and then tried to start balrum. maybe it tells u whats left or missing.
