I've installed it on my 5+ years old Debian Unstable, no crash. I've got a pretty fresh sid install on my new laptop, maybe the installer throws some errors there.

What filesystem do you use for ~? I had some issues with Dead Island some years ago on a xfs filesystem.

If nothing else works you can still try @Avehicle7887's approach.

Quoting: Avehicle7887I normally "install" GOG games by unzipping the installer manually, the command is something along: unzip -d /home/user/output gog_game_name.sh

The main game files is the "output/data/noarch" folder. Everything else can be deleted.

Expansions can also be installed the same way, simply unzip the installers and merge the data from the "noarch" folder in the main game.

I see, interesting. Thanks for trying out on your machine :)

I use ext4.

Ok i tried it on Antergos and it worked fine.
Managed to get in game , create a character and move around a few seconds.

I have a few ideas.
1.What directory are you installing the game from and into what directory. Do you have correct permissions on both ?
2.Can you install ANY other GOG game without issue ?
3.Can you try to re-download the installer just in case it got corrupted ?
4.What groups is your user a part of ?
Real stretch:
Wondering if the game is looking for AppArmor since Debian is similar to Ubuntu ?

1. I'm installing the game under "~/Games/GOG/Pillars of eternity" but the default "~/GOG GAMES/Pillars of Eternity" also fails. It shows I have permission to create and delete files.
2. Before Pillars of Eternity I installed Grim Fandango and Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars. Right now I have downloaded Oxenfree to give a test and this one ahs installed without errors too.
3. I have downloaded it 3 different times and always same error.
4. "chewbacca cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev netdev bluetooth scanner"

AppArmor is installed and started.

It's definitely a weird one :/

Hmm , my user is part of the wheel group.
I recall this is being used for escalating admin privileges.
Maybe that ?

I created the group wheel as stated in the Debian wiki Wheel/Pam webpage and tried again... to not avail haha.

Thanks though!

I'm a bit ashamed... but I have reinstalled the system from scratch. Now the game is finally installed.

Thanks!

I'm glad that it works now! Don't feel ashamed. None of us had been able to hunt this weird bug down xD
