[SOLVED] Is it advisable to use this command?

skullnoober · 2022-04-17 15:34:48

Long story short, I'm running a game (GMod, to be specific) that doesn't have a menu, its branch is Chromium, running natively, anyways, I found a way to fix it which is by running this following command:

 sudo sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1

I did some research on it, and saw that it causes vulnerability to systems, should I use it?

What kernel are you using? That is already the default.

What is the sysctl currently set to?

sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone

It's set to 1, as I tried it before

Ah ... all that's being discussed in this thread is some random command that you thought might be a solution to your problem but A) it's irrelevant as it's already the default setting, and B) you tried it and it didn't help at all. So we're 10 posts in and there is literally no information in this thread other than there is some problem with GMod somehow related to a menu. It seems only one useful diagnostic question has been asked "what menu" but the only reply was vague "main menu".

Please describe your actual symptoms / problem. What do you mean it doesn't have a main menu? What "main menu" do you expect it to have? Is this a right click popup menu? If so, does one not appear at all, or does it appear as blank / black / etc? What do you actually see? And how does it contrast from what you expect / require?

Also, what exactly is "gmod"? This doesn't appear to be from an arch package. Please describe what this is and how it was installed.

EDIT: I suppose all of the above is if you want help actually pinning down the actual problem. If you really just want an answer to the X-Y question in your title, then: No it is neither advisable or ill-advisable as that command will do nothing on most systems.

Really sorry, I meant the main menu that appears once entering the game, as it isn't appearing, I also meant the game Garry's Mod, from Steam, I also tried that command as someone mentioned that it fixed the issue, my bad.

Oh, well thank you, Someone mentioned the use of a HTML menu to fix said issue, the lua menu doesn't function properly on Chromium, now it works, Cheers!
