Are you sure that the games you were trying to join were not already running?
Please check the status of the game: open or running.
You can adjust the filter if you want to show only open (not running) games.

Usually a logout and re-login from your OS should update your app menu. This also works for the deb - if app menu entry does not show up directly after installation.

No package maintainer for pokerth on Fedora?

The package in Fedora 43 is outdated (v.1.1.2) and blocking upgrade to Fedora 44.

Hi fizikz,

I'm not the maintainer of fedora packages and I'm not even using fedora. Maybe you can contact the maintainer by email and inform about new version?

Soon there will be a 2.1.0 release though ... I might take care of it by myself then.

Regards

Hi sp0ck, yes I realize that you are not the maintainer, and that you already have been handling a lot of responsibilities for PokerTH!

I was pointing out that there is no maintainer for Fedora. This package is listed as orphaned: "Maintainer: orphan" https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs ... h/pokerth/

And since pokerth package is not built for Fedora 44, I had to uninstall it for the Fedora release upgrade to proceed.

For now, alternatives include the linux binary download, Flatpak, or AppImage. I tested the first two options on my systems and they work.
