Mods don't work on Linux version (Debian Jessie 32-bit)

[aracnus]

(I originally posted this here, but since I have no comments, I'm trying again, as a new topic)

 

I have a dual boot machine and the Linux version (running on a Debian Jesse 32-bit version) doesn't show me the mods I subscribed on Steam (they appear normally on Windows version in the same machine). When I enter the Mods area, I receive a message "Verifying mod details...", then another one informing that the mods are being downloaded (these messages appear every time I enter there), but nothing happens. Here is a shot of the screen after the messages:

 

 

And the mods were downloaded. When I enter "~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/dont_starve/mods/" I can see them all. Is there any problem with Linux version? I don't have any problem playing the game, only with mods.

You are not the first to mention this issue, but im also a linux user (xubuntu/kubuntu 13.10) and both steam and standalone DS work fine for me.  There must be some base package I have that others might not.  Im sure several other of the modders here are also on one flavor or another of linux.

I recently solved a similar issue. What filesystem do you use?

I guess you discovered my problem, simplex! I read the topic you linked and my filesystem is XFS. So I'll wait for the solution that Wade promised there.

 

Thank you for sharing the solution here.

Thanks for solution. I used it for my steps (grow the dontstarve_mods.ext4 file-FS-tmp to 512Mb):

 

Type it by root user:
 

 

cd /home/xor/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/dont_starve

mv mods mods.orig

dd if=/dev/zero of=dontstarve_mods.ext4 bs=$(( 2**20 )) count=512

mkfs.ext4 dontstarve_mods.ext4

mount -o loop dontstarve_mods.ext4 mods

chown -R xor:xor mods

cp -Ra mods.orig/*  mods/

 

 

P.S. change the "xor" user id to your
