Steamdeck CLI, proxy and update debug & fixing. Along with stardew valley with SMAPI.
1. Preparation
Make steam deck available on CLI.
Linux steamdeck 5.13.0-valve10.3-1-neptune-02176-g5fe416c4acd8
First, set password and make system writeable
passwd
sudo steamos-readonly disable
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
Then, use clash for proxy
wget https://github.com/Dreamacro/clash/releases/download/premium/clash-darwin-amd64-2023.03.18.gz
gzip -d lash-darwin-amd64-2023.03.18.gz
mv lash-darwin-amd64-2023.03.18 clash
sudo chmod 755 clash
sudo chmod +x clash
Config tun mode, edit your yml configure file:
tun:
enable: true
stack: system # or gvisor
auto-route: true # auto set global route
auto-detect-interface: true # conflict with interface-name
# proxies seg here
Remote VNC
However, steamos update will clear pacman installation after 3.6.0+.
So install app by brew.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install xinit tigher-vnc
vncpasswd ~/.vnc/passwd
sudo chmod +777 ~/.vnc/passwd
# Add this to script autorun
x0vncserver -passwordfile ~/.vnc/passwd
# 2.Game launch option with proton (steamdeck launch stardewvalley with SMAPI)
If you want launch extra mod-embedding for your game on deck, like SMAPI for stardewvalley, you need to make `steam launch option`.
1. You need to find your game's APP ID, `settings->perproties->update`, for me is `413150`.
2. Then check path for proton. `/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 8.0/proton` if you want steam's proton version. `/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9-5/proton` if you want customed proton.
3. And your modding executable path. I installed SMAPI into the same location of game.
Here is a sample script
```bash
#! /usb/bin/bash
export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/413150"
export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH
/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9-5/proton run "/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/StardewModdingAPI.exe"
- Write into a script and fill it in launch options
bash /home/$USER/Scripts/launch_SMAPI.sh %command%
3 steam os update debug
Deck can not install new steam OS, and even can not reset.
Go to desktop mode
# Manually update and check the output
steamos-update
3.1 Check network access
If deck can not access the image and have no proxy installed.
Download steam-os file manually: steam-os ftp
# example
wget https://steamdeck-images.steamos.cloud/steamdeck/20250409.1001/steamdeck-20250409.1001-3.8.0.raucb
sudo rauc install steamdeck-20250402.1001-3.8.0.raucb
3.2 rauc install error
rauc Installation error: Failed updating slot rootfs.0: failed to run casync extract
Then check what happened in rauc: journalctl -u rauc and it shows error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1
Then, update pacman and try to reinstall openssl 1.1 to fix this. First, you need your root name and password.
If any dependecies break shows, just install it. e.g., ostree depends on openssl-3.6, pacman -Su ostree
If pacman or sudo throughs “libcrypto error” too, switch into root su root.
If openssl not installed, try to download your opensll SAME as YOUT VERSION.
openssl package ftp
tar -xvpf openssl-1.1.1.m-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst -C / --exclude .PKGINFO --exclude .INSTALL --exclude .MTREE --exclude .BUILDINFO
4 Install trial-steam version
delete Steam_appid.txt, add WINEDLLOVERRIDES="amd_ags_x64.dIl=b" %command%, use proton-GE-xx
