Feral options menu is all white when running from snapped LSI
Using Ubuntu 17.10
Tested on:
- Dirt Rally
- Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
- Mad Max (vulkan beta)
This appears on the command line:

Known issue atm due to how the apparmor policy works by default. If the files were in your ~ they'd launch, but on the /var,/run,/media trees they bork for Feral interactive titles as the child process exits with EPERM
Just a heads up if you just want your feral games to run, you can compile + install snapd without apparmor by adding --disable-apparmor in the ./configure arguments. Just a warning this -is- going to run things without apparmor. It's a temp workaround option. Arch and arch aur git package both do this by default:

I mount my partitions to /run/media/ and am able to run feral launcher games with np this way. just be aware that apparmor will be disabled.
Aye - we'll still need to get the actual confinement issue fixed though :D
Is there other workaround than building snapd without apparmor?
I'd like to try Company of Heroes 2 and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but they are giving the same error... Should I install steam using eopg and forget LSI for now? Can the two live side by side using the same steam library directory?
Solus already uses LSI for our Steam package @mclang - for now its the "proper" way to use it in Solus. Right now we have some confinement issues to work through which I started last night. We're still a few weeks away from prime time here :D
Ah, okay - missed that in the blog post.
I uninstalled the snaps and installed steam using eopg. Now COH2 starts alright but DX: MD not. Ah well - no time to play many games at the same time, so I may as well wait that you get things in shipping order.
