Lact did not install during setup

Hi all!

lact failed to install properly during software setup.
Running ujust update shows that lact is not installed.

Using ujust install-lact gives the following:
No changes.
Installing LACT…
Nothing to do - goodbye
error: Updating deployment: Preparing D-Bus arguments: Handling argument /tmp/lact.rpm: No such file or directory (os error 2)
Failed to enable unit: Unit lactd.service does not exist
rm: cannot remove ‘/tmp/lact.rpm’: No such file or directory
Complete.

I am stuck. Bazzite installation is about a day old. Everything is up-to-date.

I ended up having to download the rpm file for LACT from their git and then run the following in terminal:
rpm-ostree install lact-0.5.6-0.x86_64.fedora-40.

Rebooted and it installed finally for me.

so i found the command ujust --choose and there located install-lact.
Had a look at the script and concluded i could just run the relevant parts in terminal.
I don’t really now bash scripting but it looks like it checks image name for use in the if-statement. I think the else part of the expression is relevant here.
I ran the wget command (removed the -s flag on curl). Looks like something was downloaded.
Ran rpm-ostree install --apply-live -y /tmp/lact.rpm
and then I get the error:
error: Updating deployment: Preparing D-Bus arguments: Handling argument /tmp/lact.rpm: No such file or directory (os error 2)

had a look in /tmp and could see nothing relevant.

what noe?

i was typing my thing just as you posted i guess.

will def have a try. Thanks.

Your error from above is the same thing I was running into. That’s why I had to go download it and us the rpm-ostree install method, though I don’t think they like you doing that for various reasons, but it’s the only way I could get it installed on Bazzite.
