I installed lutris the other day and had some problems running it, it gave me some errors and I managed to solve them the only one that remained is this one:
Please check ownership/permissions using:
cd .local/share/icons
ls -l
I get the following:
Try changing icons to default and run ? As it looks that your icons , like whatever custom icons you are using are not having certain icons/are denying lutris some permissions . I also had somewhat similar issue with Infinity Glass Icons on KDE Plasma. Sometimes not having a certain type of icon can also cause lutris to crash.
A good solution would be to stick to default icons oruse a vast well-reputed icon pack e.g papirus, qoogir,etc.
Also please cd into the .icons folder, run ls -a and post the output.
I’m using Qogir
what’s posy_cursor ? Anyways , you on KDE ?
In the icons directory , run sudo chmod -R +rw hicolor
they are a custom cursor. I’m on xfce btw.

Run the command and see if fixes lutris.
it says there is no such file or directory
Wait a sec.
So while installing lutris , it must have asked you for choosing a desktop portal package , like xdg-desktop-portal-kde, etc. Which one did you choose ?
I don’t remember it asking, sorry I just installed it through Yay
okay then , according to an old thread here : https://forums.lutris.net/t/solved-lutris-wont-start-on-manjaro-18-0-4-kde/6143
1.Try installing the appmenu-gtk-module.
2.Create a directory in the icons folder named hicolor.
3.Run the command I gave you earlier after cd-ing into the icons folder.
well strange , try running sudo pacman -R xdg-desktop-portal-gnome && sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-kde kdialog.
Alternatively you should run sudo pacman -R xdg-desktop-portal-gnome && sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-gtk instead if on XFCE
remove everything before && along with && and run the second command. Along with the output .
And please paste the text output .
ok it installed the thing
[hectorm@Seren icons]$ sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
