hmm not sure why the plugin scirpt is producing an empty plugin-info file this is the script

#!/bin/bash

# Define the directory to scan
directory_to_scan="~/homebrew/plugins"

# Loop through each subdirectory (one level deep)
for dir in "$directory_to_scan"/*/; do
    # Check if package.json exists in the subdirectory
    if [ -f "${dir}package.json" ]; then
        # Extract name and version from the package.json file using jq
        name=$(jq -r '.name' "${dir}package.json")
        version=$(jq -r '.version' "${dir}package.json")

        # Output the name and version
        echo "Directory: ${dir}"
        echo "Package Name: $name"
        echo "Version: $version"
        echo "-----------------------------"
    fi
done

Running it without redirecting to any file also produces a blank output.

I already tried chmod a+x btw

Also not sure why the log is mentioning deckcord as that should be uninstalled (it was one of the plugins the decky error message recomended uninstalling alongside webrowser , i kept uninstalling plugins until it said the most likely culprit was decky itself)

[zvarnes]

I am experiencing this as well

[nbarthelemy]

Same issue

[zany130]

make sure you uninstall all plugins the error messages mention are causing the issue. For me, I had to uninstall deckcord, webrowser, and retrolibrary (from emudeck).

It seems some people have got decky to work once they removed the offending plugins

I think in my case it might of been deckcord was still loaded for some reason. I need to test further when i get a chance

Apparently, these may also be broken

MagicPodsDecky
PlayTime
MagicBlack
Audio Loader
Reshadeck
Pause Games

[joshrowin2000]

same issue, Decky is completely BORKED by new Steam OS Stable.

[kissinglucifer]

also happening here

[TrainDoctor]

We are aware of the issue. Unless you have logs to contribute please do not add to this thread. Right now we know definitively the issue is not caused by decky itself but by plugins. Borrowed from @ynhhoJ on our discord:

Currently broken plugins - status if plugin has opened PR in decky-plugin-database repo

• MagicPodsDecky - has PR
• PlayTime - has PR
• MagicBlack - has PR
• Audio Loader - has PR
• Reshadeck - don't have a PR
• Pause Games - don't have a PR

UPD1: Added Reshadeck & Pause Games

How can I/We uninstall plugins without uninstalling decky to get it to work for the time being?

You just delete the affected plugins from the ~/homebrew/plugins folder.
