So I’ve rebooted my Debian computer, having installed, run, and used Lutris to run a GOG game. It worked fine.

Problem is, now Lutris has seemingly disappeared from my system. Despite existing in dpkg, and seeing the app “installed” in the Debian software manager, I cannot find a way to run it.

I have attempted to run it in three ways:

  1. Press the windows key and search for Lutris. This worked before. It works on literally every other app too. Nothing shows up, except the Lutris page in the Software manager.
  2. Check the Lutris page in the software manager. I can see that it’s installed and has a delete button, but no button to open the application.
  3. Click the “Show Applications”/Launchpad icon in the Dock, and try to find Lutris. It doesn’t exist here anymore.

I’m scratching my head. Does anyone know what happened to Lutris on my Debian distro?

    dpkg -L [lutris_package_name]

    This will show you where all the files for the install of Lutris are. You can find the name of the Lutris package with:

    dpkg -l | grep lutris

    If you’re not seeing the binary to launch, just uninstall and reinstall the package.
