[Bug] Themes fail to install.

Open FrostyNick opened this issue 9 months ago • 6 comments

Before Reporting

  • [x] I found no existing issues matching my bug
  • [x] My issue is not caused by a theme
  • [x] My issue is not caused by a plugin

Describe the Bug

Themes do not install when clicking on install. There's an error on the website and the terminal. Tried multiple themes and nothing was able to be installed. There's an error in the logs related to git. Git is installed and has worked for everything else. Lines with "CORE Error" are all in red text. Using Nobara Linux and Firefox.

Expected Behavior

Themes should just magically install out of the box. (Works on another device I use.)

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Steam is already installed (not a flatpak).
  2. Install and run millenium (curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SteamClientHomebrew/Millennium/main/scripts/install.sh" | sh and $HOME/.millennium/start.sh)
  3. Go to themes in steam just in case that happened to fix anything.
  4. Go to theme website.
  5. See errors.

Operating System

Linux

Anything else?

I'm no longer able to reproduce this bug for unknown reason, so I will close this issue. Let me know if there's other info that helps.

As a workaround, I manually paste in the terminal from the logs above git clone -v -- https://github.com/dotFelixan/NEVKO-UI.git /home/nicholas/.steam/steam/steamui/skins/NEVKO-UI and after restarting, shutting down steam and starting up millenium. I haven't seen this bug since then. Installing other themes by clicking install in the browser now works for some reason, regardless of what containers or profiles are used in Firefox.

If logs are stored permanently somewhere, I could give you the logs. I forgot to save all the output from the terminal.

Actually, after further inspection.. the other themes did not install. Only the theme that was manually pasted with git as a workaround worked. It shows like it installed successfully on the browser and no errors, but all of the folders that should have a theme are empty in themes folder. In Steam UI, there's just a dropdown for NEVKO-UI.

I have this exact same problem. They say "installed" but all of them are empty folders. Running Mint 22 and using Firefox.

Hello, I'm having the same problem after a fresh install on my PC. The skin folders are empty.

The following skins have empty directories:

  • Adwaita
  • Minimal Dark for Steam
  • Classic Steam Library

Here's what I did:

I installed windows, and Steam, then Millennium I opened the Steam browser from Webkit I went to the Millennium website in the Themes section I downloaded the desired themes.

Only Simple Dark downloaded correctly.

Downloading the directories manually from GitHub, then pasting them into the Steam directory works.

It wouldn't be bad either to have a button that directly opens the browser to the skin store. I don't know why this feature disappeared.

edit: for some reason it works now, I haven't touched anything on my end.

This would likely be an issue with your global git installation, as millennium essentially runs git clone xxx directly.
