When you say that DFHack stops recognizing the scripts, does that mean you get an error message from DFHack when you try to run them? What error message do you get?

Closing the launcher after starting DFHack and DF shouldn't make a difference. They're completely separate programs.

It probably does because the temp directory where are merged the binaries (from /opt/linux-dwarf-pack/) and config files (from ~/.local/share/linux-dwarf-pack) is unmounted when the launcher is closed.
The DF/DFHack process stills lives but its base directory has been unmounted.

Which launcher does this? I don't remember this being a PyLNP feature. Do you have an extra wrapper around PyLNP?

I don't think any program can reasonably be expected to function if its data files are unmounted from under it. Could the launcher keep track of the subprocesses that it launches and delay unmounting until they exit?

Yes, the LinuxDwarf Pack provides a wrapper-script around PyLNP, that mounts and run everything from a temporary filesystem (unionfs) in /tmp/lnp-XXXXXX. It is intended to keep binaries and data/config files in separate directories.
As a consequence, PyLNP is not supposed to be stopped while DFHack and the game are running. I don't see any easy way to remove this constraint.

The LinuxDwarfPack has been updated to include DFHack 0.47.05-r5 and LegendsBrowser 2.

Oh my god, thank you so much for this.  I'm currently restricted to using a Chromebook, which means no .exe files, and I have to use their proprietary Linux called Crostini, which thankfully is *mostly* compatible with Debian stuff so I was able to install this without issue.

However, I'm unable to get LNP to launch DF, specifically DF hack, because I can't configure a command terminal.  I have no clue what it wants; my attempts always fail, and the closest I got was it telling me "parent process blocked by child" which is probably something related to how restrictive this ChromeOS is, but I don't really know.

[madpathmoth]

So I was able to get LNP to load a terminal; as it turns out the name for the default Crostini terminal is

Code: [Select]

x-terminal-emulator
However...  Now it just opens up the terminal and then nothing happens.  Neither Dwarf Fortress nor DFHack launch, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, or what I'm supposed to do next.

Did you set just this up as a terminal command? Looking at the source code, most supported terminals require at least one additional argument to tell the terminal to execute a specific command on startup instead of opening a shell. In your case, you might want to add "-e" or "--command" at the end.

You're correct, that's all I had entered.  I tried adding "-e", and then later "--command" instead of "-e", but neither seem to have made progress unfortunately.

I'm not really getting much in the way of feedback to even try and decipher where to look if I want to learn what's not working...

Did you try:
"Custom command" and "x-terminal-emulator -e $"

I have now that you've suggested it, but there was no noticeable change in the result from my previous post.

could it be a PATH issue? maybe try putting the full path to x-terminal-emulator in the custom command.

I don't understand that.  I lack the context or knowledge to do that or find that information.  I don't know enough to know if that sounds plausible or not either, but, if it was a matter of the terminal's location being unclear, wouldn't it fail to launch the terminal in the first place, instead of launching it and then doing nothing?

[Ziusudra]

The x-terminal-emulator command is actually a wrapper of garcon written in shell script
...
In my experience garcon will drop any command arguments when invoking the terminal chrome app.

Op will need to install a Linux terminal app and call that directly.

Maybe try installing a different terminal emulator? https://www.reddit.com/r/Crostini/comments/8gku8y/psa_you_can_install_a_better_terminal_emulator/
