Fix orange-ball install as root

March 01, 2025 — BarryK

EasyOS has "orange ball" menu entries, apps that are not yet installed. Alfons reported that installed Aqemu, but at the final step where the Orange Installer offered to open Rox-Filer to be able to drag the icon onto the desktop, there was an error "Directory /home/aqemu not found".

The reason is that some apps default to install as the root user, and there will not be anything under /home directory. This is set by the $UN variable; for Aqemu, look at /usr/local/orange/config/aqemu

Fixed, see github:
