HoloISO Hotfix - A Hotfix script for HoloISO Issues.

You can use the (Deprecated) Gist. You can also view the CHANGELOG.

After a bit of tinkering, I've got it to work to a decent level. If this does not work for you, please tell me what happens by opening an Issue!

INSTRUCTIONS:

- Boot into Holoiso Desktop Mode

- At this point, Steam Desktop will boot up. You may sign in, but this will skip the SteamOS OOBE. I do recommend to sign in, but if you want / need the OOBE, don't sign in.

- Open a web browser and download the script above.

- Extract download.

- Open folder, right click empty space, and click "Open Terminal Here"

- In the terminal that appears, run:
sudo su
then
sudo bash ./HoloISOHotfix.sh

- When the script has finished running, reboot, as "return to game mode" seems to be hella buggy.

NOTES:

- THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON INSTALLATIONS THAT USED THE HOLOISO 4.1 ISO
- THIS SCRIPT MUST BE RUN USING SUPERUSER / SUDO SU. IT WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE.
- You may have to reboot a few times to fully boot up. If a kernel doesn't work, try a different one.
- I may update this script if I find a better hotfix. If I do, please redownload and re-run the script. I will code the script to ensure nothing breaks and no useless files are kept.
- Please keep in mind that when the script runs, mesa-amber will be installed to replace mesa, mesa and mesa-amber both being the 3d graphics library Holoiso / SteamOS use. You can switch to any version of mesa, and see if that works better for you.
- Please keep in mind that this script may have unintended side effects if you have more than 1 user on your system (?).
