It was a fresh install. All I did is install lutris and attempt to install battlenet from lutris' battlenet page. I also attempted the reported workaround for an issue others are having but that didnt do anything either. It used to work fine in earlier versions of Kubuntu but not this time. And apparently there are other people having issues with battlenet in particular not actually downloading the files it needs correctly due to a dns issue. But in my case, the attempted install doesnt even get that far and if you look in the fold it is supposed to be installing in, there is nothing there. Theres also no log output or anything that indicates it is doing anything.
