 ElvishJerricco | sign in with github is a thing, isn't it? | 06:54:08 |
| ElvishJerricco | why is there a github app? | 06:54:12 |
| ElvishJerricco | I guess I will create a separate account :| | 06:54:49 |
| ElvishJerricco | Anyway... K900 Should I just like... remove those first two sections? Since they should be totally redundant? And then add a blurb at the top saying "For ordinary desktop / gaming usage, the defaults will work. The following sections should only be needed if you have a reason for them." | 06:58:52 |
 K900 | Probably | 06:59:01 |
| ElvishJerricco | Do I leave the line saying "This guide is about setting up NixOS to correctly use your AMD Graphics card if it is relatively new (aka, after the GCN architecture)."? I dunno if it's really relevant information at that point | 06:59:53 |
| ElvishJerricco | though I guess we probably do want to mention the whole hardware.opengl config that you should have | 07:02:51 |
| ElvishJerricco | K900: Does this seem ok to you? https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/AMD_GPU
I killed the redundant things, added the bit about enabling gpu accel in the first place (not that that's amd specific), and moved all the special bits under a separate "Special Configurations" heading that explains you should only use them if you know you need them
| 07:17:41 |
 srhb | I'd have specifically kept the redundant thing and mentioned its redundancy. I need it for pointing out "you don't want amdgpu, you want nothing, because this." Which you also just needed in the youtube comment. :) | 07:24:01 |
| K900 | The Hip tmpfiles thing can go | 07:24:17 |
| K900 | It was fixed a while ago | 07:24:21 |
| ElvishJerricco | as long as nothing I changed was wrong, I'll leave the further changes to you all :P | 07:24:37 |
| ElvishJerricco | I am sleepy and should be going to bed (ha) | 07:24:55 |
| K900 | And driSupport is not default I'm pretty sure? | 07:24:58 |
| K900 | I can delete that | 07:25:16 |
| ElvishJerricco | K900: man configuration.nix says hardware.opengl.driSupport is true by default, but hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit is not | 07:25:57 |
| K900 | Huh | 07:26:54 |
| K900 | OK | 07:26:55 |
 SuperSamus | And hardware.opengl.enable, while disabled by default, is enabled by many modules.
Still, it is usefull unless a user installs a window manager with environment.systemPackages (instead of the module), or they launch games from the TTY with no window manager installed... | 09:53:19 |

| Alex Davidson Bryan | Hi all, I'm having trouble getting vulkan to work correctly on a wayland config.
If I run nix-shell -p vulkan-tools --run 'vkcube' I see a screen appear for a split second, then I get the following error message:
vulkan: No DRI3 support detected - required for presentation
Note: you can probably enable DRI3 in your Xorg config
Not sure how I can enable DRI3 support via wayland? There's no xorg config.
| 11:54:47 |
| Alex Davidson Bryan | Also, I have the hardware.opengl.driSupport and hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit options enabled in my configuration.nix | 11:56:05 |
| K900 | What Wayland compositor? | 12:30:37 |
| Alex Davidson Bryan | sway | 12:30:47 |
| K900 | Are you using flakes or channels? | 12:31:17 |
| K900 | It sounds like you might be mixing nixpkgs versions | 12:31:25 |
| Alex Davidson Bryan | At this point, I'm thinking it may be to do with a mismatch between my home-manager and system channels. System uses 23.11 and home-manager uses unstable, I launch sway from home-manager | 12:31:37 |
