 littlejohn (jcray) | managed to somewhat cure my slow steam download speed issue by trying the advice in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/16e1l4h/slow_steam_downloads_try_this/
disabling http2 increased download speed from from approx 50 mbps to approx 300 mbps and holding. the same machine running windows downloads steam games close to my connection speed of 1gbps, so still further investigating to do (possible DNS issues as suggested earlier, LUKS overhead?). | 08:46:07 |
 @atemu12:matrix.org | littlejohn: That's odd. | 10:12:09 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Monitor system stats | 10:12:46 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Is there significant iowait during downloads? | 10:12:54 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | 300mbit/s is just ~30MB/s, that's not a lot for drives to handle. | 10:13:27 |

| @tonton:envs.net | Hi, I'm trying to get steamtinkerlaunch working, found I needed to install python3 to get errors in the logs. Now, running 'steamtinkerlaunch vortex start' gives me
'/nix/store/6qrqnmqvqr8ln1lch9s7c2qhwzss485i-steamtinkerlaunch-12.12/bin/.steamtinkerlaunch-wrapped: line 14897: /home/ton/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/proton/custom/GE-Proton8-23/files/bin/wine: cannot execute: required file not found'
The file is there, but it is what was downloaded by STL itself and so isn't linked correctly. Can I tell STL to use nix's wine/proton?
Or how do I get steamtinkerlaunch to work on nixos? | 15:56:46 |
| K900 | That's not what is missing | 16:01:37 |
| K900 | What's missing it the interpreter | 16:01:44 |
| K900 | You probably want to run it inside an fhsenv like steam-run | 16:01:56 |
| @tonton:envs.net | oh, ok. so steam-run steamtinkerlaunch vortex start? | 16:02:22 |
| K900 | Yes | 16:08:03 |
| @tonton:envs.net | hmm: steam-run steamtinkerlaunch vortext start
/nix/store/lf0wpjrj8yx4gsmw2s3xfl58ixmqk8qa-bash-5.2-p15/bin/bash: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.36' not found (required by /nix/store/lf0wpjrj8yx4gsmw2s3xfl58ixmqk8qa-bash-5.2-p15/bin/bash) | 16:09:35 |
| @tonton:envs.net | idk | 16:09:40 |
| K900 | That sounds like you've got some very badly mismatched versions of things | 16:10:20 |
| @tonton:envs.net | cool. | 16:10:40 |
| @tonton:envs.net | Allright, so i did the following for each file in the .confg/steamtinkerlaunch/proton/custom/GE-Proton8-23/files/bin/:
rm msidb;ln -s /run/current-system/sw/bin/msidb msidb
and now it's atleaast installing vortex...
:P | 16:15:09 |
| @tonton:envs.net | ah, it seems they need to be in the same profile or something. Works now.
But I keep getting
SKIP - setModWine - No download URL found for requested 'GE-Proton8-23' - skipping
ERROR - setModWine - DNPROTON was not found - can't continue
But steam-run steamtinkerlaunch dcp l and dw l finished successfully... ? | 16:47:34 |
| @tonton:envs.net | "successfully" there's nothing in their folders | 16:55:59 |
 Mae (it/she) | has anyone gotten mod organizer 2 working on Nixos? tried lutris and https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer to no avail | 21:06:50 |

| @tonton:envs.net | I did yesterday, more or less, forgot to report back.
I removed a bunch of the wrongly generated and downloded files from steamtinkerlaunch.
Put steam-run, Python3, steamtinkerlaunch, cabextract and msidb in my Nixos configuration as global packages (they used to be in my users packages which for some reason failed).
Then I run all steamtinkerlaunch commands prefixed by steam-run (I did this by setting alias srustl='steam-run steamtinkerlaunch')
After that 'srustl mo2 s' runs and finishes as expected. 🌻 | 10:23:20 |
| @tonton:envs.net | Removed files in .Config/steamtinkerlaunch or what it is, I'm not on my computer so can't check. But it's the dir where stl has downloads and prefixes and so on. | 10:25:25 |

| Mae (it/she) | awesome! thanks! | 15:12:39 |
| @tonton:envs.net | Oh, another thing, I don't use mo2 to run skyrim, I copy the skyrimLauncher.exe to skyrimlauncher.exe.bak (in case I need it for other things than playing game) then copy skse_loader.exe to be skyrimLauncher.exe then I run skyrim from steam. :P | 19:12:42 |
