Setup Vega Strike not displaying properly, Ubuntu 20.04

Hi there, I'm totally new to Vega Strike and I can't quite figure out why it won't run properly. I've installed Vega-Strike_v0.7.0-py3-Ubuntu-focal_x86_64.deb and vsUTCS_v0.7.0.deb, but when I open "Setup Vega Strike" from the Activities menu (Image 1), it does not show everything it's supposed to.

The expected result is a menu with all these buttons (Image 2), but I just get the beginning text and the last two buttons (Image 3):

If I click "Save Settings and Exit" and then try to open VS with the command "vegastrike" in the terminal, it gives me all this, probably because the config file is empty:

Can you please try running `vsettings` in the terminal and see what kind of output you're getting?
I suspect that something is wrong with the settings application so it isn't writing the configuration out as expected which vegastrike is then looking for and not finding.
Though since you have 0.5.1 installed that could be adding a complication too. Hopefully the terminal output of vsettings will provide some clues.

To clarify, I have 0.7.0 installed, not 0.5.1. Image 2, the example of what I'd expect to get, is from version 0.5.1, but that's not the version I have installed.
When I run 'vsettings' in the terminal I get the same result. (See Image 3.) The terminal just says "Found data in /usr/share/vegastrike" and nothing more. Nothing is added when I click Save Settings and Exit.

Sorry, I'm just now getting a chance to look at this.
Can you try running the following terminal command:

Ah, forgot about this until now. It gave me a whole bunch of things and said "Permission denied" for each and every one.

Can you please try fixing the permissions problem and then see if this is still an issue?

How would I go about fixing that?

LJ_Dude Sorry, I probably should have mentioned that running that command would likely give you a lot of Permission Denied messages. That's all it gave you though?
If you like, you can try rerunning the same command with root permissions (i.e. sudo). That should cut down the number of Permission Denied errors somewhat. And hopefully, it will make it easier to find the actual file results in the output.

At this point, my hunch is that you have one or more copies of vegastrike.config containing invalid syntax, somewhere in one of the paths that Vega Strike searches for that file. If we can find the errant file and correct its contents, then hopefully vsettings will start working for you.

There are two vegastrike.config files: one in home/lj_dude/.vegastrike which has nothing at all, and one in usr/share/vegastrike that is 62.7kB in size and has quite a bit of stuff that I presume to be the regular config info. What should I do with these?

Yes, running it normally gives me all permission denied stuff. Running it with sudo gives me something else, but still permission denied:
Code: Select all
/home/lj-dude/.vegastrike/vegastrike.config
/usr/share/vegastrike/vegastrike.config
find: ‘/run/user/1000/doc’: Permission denied
find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied
find: ‘/run/user/125/gvfs’: Permission denied
Running it with root gives me the same as sudo.

OK, so 3 permission denied messages, but also the 2 file results I was looking for. The files you mentioned, /home/lj_dude/.vegastrike/vegastrike.config and /usr/share/vegastrike/vegastrike.config.
Try renaming or deleting the first one. The empty one, under your home folder. Maybe call it vegastrike.config.bak or something. Then rerun vsettings, and let's see what you get.

That seems to have fixed it. Thank you very much!
