bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied (pipx installation) #400
Description
Before I continue, I want to clarify that I didn't use the Flatpak version, despite running perfectly, because its winecfg library cannot find my discord-rpc.dll.so file, which is why I needed protontricks in the first place. I already tried giving it so many permissions via Flatseal, including running sh into its sandbox, and it indeed can see the .dll.so and the environment in that sandbox is already set to WINEDLLPATH=/opt/discord-rpc/bin64:/opt/discord-rpc/bin32 but the winecfg still couldn't find any library named "discord-rpc", so I don't know what to do.
I installed protontricks as shown in the readme with pipx. It does show the game menu, but when I select a game, it just crashes immediately.
