AMD has a game rewards thing that lets you redeem a free game with a hardware purchase.
I assume to prevent botting and cheaters they require you to run a verification tool on your system, and nicely they have a linux version of said tool.
I can run pvt.sh tool with --keep and then patchelf`d the ./main binary that it generates but the tool fails to verify my hardware (perhaps it detects the tampering?)
Inside a buildFHSUserEnv it says it can’t find libz.so.1 even with the library existing in the same directory as ./main, running the patched tool inside, it still fails to verify.
steam-run uses Bubblewrap and breaks due to it trying to call sudo, and if I run steam-run with sudo it also fails to chdir due to permissions on the folder which doesn’t make sense for root.
Running Pop_OS! using wine 8.0
all i had to do was:
go into terminal
went to my Downloads folder where the pvt.sh file was located
ran:
chmod +x pvt.sh
then:
wine start pvt.sh
new window poped up and put in my sudo password
answered a few questions like Language and so on, put in my coupon code and it validated my Proccessor (the new product i bought)
