Hello. This is a long shot, but I installed openSUSE Slowroll over Tumbleweed yesterday and everything went great. However, now I’m no longer able to create new bottles with Bottles. Bottles is installed from Flathub. Any way I try to create a new bottle it immediately fails with:
(ERROR) Failed to initialize the Wine prefix. Command exited with status 1.
I tried downgrading Bottles and the results were much the same with the versions I tried, except the error message was:
(ERROR) Wine prefix initialization failed.
This is frustrating because there’s not much to go on. The process does create some folders on the SDD I’m using for my bottles, so I don’t think it’s a permission issue. I have used Flatseal to give proper access. The default bottle folder has the same result anyway. I never had this issue on my previous installation and Bottles worked fine.
Bottles issue tracker has the bug #4919 which I assume is the same problem I have, except I’m completely unable to create a bottle no matter which settings I try.
If anyone has any ideas I could try it would be welcome. I’d prefer using Bottles for my Wine needs.
EDIT: I have solved this issue for now. The problem is apparently related to SELinux on openSUSE. Installing selinux-policy-targeted-gaming with zypper lets me at least create bottles. Thanks for your comments!
If you did this by changing the Bottles directory in the settings, try reverting that and instead replacing the directory itself (ie ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles) with a symlink to your second drive. That was what worked for me.
