@haysidney:matrix.orghaysidney

I just tried to run the Steam flatpak and got:

bwrap: Can't make symlink at /home/sidney/.local/share/flatpak: File exists
01:37:46
@haysidney:matrix.orghaysidneyI wonder why it's trying to create a symlink.01:38:05
@haysidney:matrix.orghaysidney
lrwxrwxrwx 1 sidney users  34 Nov  3 21:00 flatpak -> /persist/home/.local/share/flatpak

I'm already symlinking that folder for my impermanence setup.

01:39:03
@haysidney:matrix.orghaysidneyI'm a little confused because I've not given the flatpak access to my home folder at all. Why is it even able to see my files and try to mess with them?01:53:52
@haysidney:matrix.orghaysidneyEh. Whatever. I guess I'll just keep using the nixpkg version of steam.01:54:14

@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.org haysidney: WDYM by "not given access"? Through which system? 08:23:10
@haysidney:matrix.orghaysidneyFlatseal tells me that I’ve not given steam access to ~/.local/share.08:25:09
@haysidney:matrix.orghaysidneyI have all the filesystem options as the default, unchecked08:25:37
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgI have no experience here but perhaps flatpaks require that directory in general08:28:04

hello! i cant get Biped to run. It's a directx11 game and whenever i run it, it has this error

Switching to resolution 1920x1080 failed, trying lower one
Switching to resolution 1920x1080 failed, trying lower one
All resolution switches have failed
Screen: DX11 could not switch resolution (1920x1080 fs=1 hz=0)

these are the logs from steam when pressing launch: https://pastebin.com/KtPfYZUR
and this is the biped crash log: https://pastebin.com/5AnXk5Xf

i've tried patching steam like this:

{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  programs = {
    steam = {
      enable = true;
      gamescopeSession.enable = true;
      remotePlay.openFirewall = true;
      dedicatedServer.openFirewall = true;
      package = pkgs.steam.override {
        extraPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs; [
	  dxvk
	];
        extraLibraries = pkgs: with pkgs; [
	  gvfs
	];
      };
    };

    gamemode = {
      enable = true;
      settings = {
        general.renice = 10;
        gpu = {
          apply_gpu_optimisations = "accept-responsibility";
          gpu_device = 0;
          amd_performance_level = "auto";
        };
      };
    };

    gamescope = {
      enable = true;
      capSysNice = true;
    };
  };
}

all the other games i tested work. i would really appreciate some help

i've tried patching steam like this, but im not even sure its necessary. gvfs because logs complained about it and dxvk because directx11?:

{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  programs = {
    steam = {
      enable = true;
      gamescopeSession.enable = true;
      remotePlay.openFirewall = true;

      package = pkgs.steam.override {
        extraPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs; [
	  dxvk
	];
        extraLibraries = pkgs: with pkgs; [
	  gvfs
	];
      };
    };

    gamemode = {
      enable = true;
      settings = {
        general.renice = 10;
        gpu = {

@k900:0upti.meK900You don't need DXVK12:22:05
@k900:0upti.meK900It comes as part of Proton 12:22:12
@k900:0upti.meK900Check protondb for the game 12:23:11
@si:kanp.aisii did and everyone says it runs perfectly12:24:51
@si:kanp.aisii think maybe it might be nvidia driver issues? im not sure12:25:10
@k900:0upti.meK900Maybe try a different Proton version?12:28:28
@si:kanp.aisialso tried that, all the way from 3.7-8 to proton experimental. it did work a few days ago, but nothing that i know changed and now it doesnt anymore. ive also tried updating lock and rebuilding but that made no difference.12:30:58
@k900:0upti.meK900Try downgrading?12:31:56
@k900:0upti.meK900It might just be some driver thing12:32:02
@k900:0upti.meK900Though we haven't touched Mesa recently12:32:07
@si:kanp.aisidowngrading the driver?12:43:37
@si:kanp.aisii opened up a few weeks old generation and biped worked fine with it12:43:56
@k900:0upti.meK900 Then maybe nix diff-closures on those generations 12:44:35
@k900:0upti.meK900
In reply to@si:kanp.ai
downgrading the driver?
Donwgrading until you find the first generation that works
12:44:47
@k900:0upti.meK900Then diffing it with the next one12:44:51
@k900:0upti.meK900To find out what changed12:44:54
@haysidney:matrix.orghaysidneyOh cool, I didn't know you could diff them13:28:16
