@woobilicious:matrix.orgwoobiliciousoh is it? restract my statement then lol07:31:54
@k900:0upti.meK900 So it probably doesn't have enough stuff 07:32:01
@k900:0upti.meK900For appimages to run07:32:04
@k900:0upti.meK900It is literally just enough fhsenv to bootstrap Steam and feed it our graphics drivers07:32:17
@woobilicious:matrix.orgwoobiliciousyeah you need to pass in extraPkgs arg IIRC07:32:24
@lotte:chir.rs@lotte:chir.rs
In reply to @k900:0upti.me
So it probably doesn't have enough stuff
it didn't read like it's a missing dependency
07:32:26
@lotte:chir.rs@lotte:chir.rsbut tbf I haven't tried in a while07:32:38
@k900:0upti.meK900Well it very likely was because appimage-run is also just a fhsenv07:32:49
@k900:0upti.meK900But a much much bigger one07:32:50
@lotte:chir.rs@lotte:chir.rsbecause, like, appimage-run exists07:32:55
@lotte:chir.rs@lotte:chir.rs
In reply to @k900:0upti.me
Well it very likely was because appimage-run is also just a fhsenv
ah
07:33:05
@woobilicious:matrix.orgwoobiliciousyou can still access nix inside p-v, so I suspect there's stuff you can do with LD_LIBRARY_PATHs to get apps working07:33:41
@woobilicious:matrix.orgwoobilicious Charlotte 🦝 (it/its): you know about the PRESSURE_VESSEL_SHELL=instead %command% launch trick that opens a terminal inside p-v? 07:36:22
@lotte:chir.rs@lotte:chir.rsi haven’t no07:36:55
@woobilicious:matrix.orgwoobiliciousahh, it launcher bash inside xterm, it's PITA to read/use, but can be very useful for debugging issues.07:37:35
@k900:0upti.meK900That's for actual p-v issues though07:37:57
@k900:0upti.meK900Not fhsenv issues07:38:00
@lotte:chir.rs@lotte:chir.rsvalve stuff ends up feeling like a switch stuck on more magic though07:38:09
@k900:0upti.meK900Honestly not really07:38:17
@k900:0upti.meK900It's very well documented07:38:20
@k900:0upti.meK900https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/tree/main/docs07:38:24
@k900:0upti.meK900And most of the tooling is even open source!07:38:31
@lotte:chir.rs@lotte:chir.rsthat would require reading it though, which i haven’t07:38:34
@k900:0upti.meK900Well if you're interested I recommend taking a look07:38:50
@k900:0upti.meK900It's really good stuff07:38:53
@lotte:chir.rs@lotte:chir.rsyeah07:38:55
@woobilicious:matrix.orgwoobiliciousYeah, but still handy to know about.07:41:02
@exaltia:chat.exaltia.fr@exaltia:chat.exaltia.fr I'm so used to see something lacking documentation that i've readed at first "it's weirdly well documented"... 12:34:06
@marie:marie.cologneMariewhat is the special case they mention regarding NixOS?12:56:26
@k900:0upti.meK900 Which one? 12:56:45
