Prusaslicer on Steam Deck.

Hi

First off I’m a total Linux noob. I installed PrusaSlicer through the discover store but it won’t start. 

Any tips?

RE: Prusaslicer on Steam Deck.

How are you trying to run it?  If you haven't done so yet, open a terminal window and try running prusa-slicer from the command prompt.  If it doesn't work, post here any output from running that command.

RE: Prusaslicer on Steam Deck.

Hello,

I have same issue, both with flatpak (discover) and appimage version. The issue is with locale settings. If I use default (en_us), flatpak version starts normally. But my settings is Germany - English (en_DE), and in that case I get following konsole output:

(deck@steamdeck ~)$ /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=entrypoint --file-forwarding com.prusa3d.PrusaSlicer @@ %F @@

An error occured while setting up locale.
You may need to reconfigure the missing locales, likely by running the "locale-gen" and "dpkg-reconfigure locales" commands.
PrusaSlicer will now terminate.

locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
(deck@steamdeck ~)$ 

My workaround is to set regional setings to US - American English (en_US), and in detailed settings each one to en_DE (screenshot attached)

I've seen this issue with some other programs in the past, on regular linux distros
