 matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | ah staging-next, gonna test | 16:36:45 |
 K900 | Master | 16:38:35 |
 Makuru 📞(WAAF / 4850) | https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/2792 | 16:41:46 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Yeah that's a shame, I would have expected it to be sorta fixed by now | 16:51:20 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Is it that we're using an nvidia driver too new or something? Odd | 16:51:47 |
| Makuru 📞(WAAF / 4850) | In reply to @matthewcroughan:defenestrate.it
Is it that we're using an nvidia driver too new or something? Odd Nvidia is pain on Linux. | 16:53:47 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | And yet also the most painless experience I've had with VR | 16:54:17 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | this is only when trying to use proprietary VR stuff, i.e SteamVR | 16:54:29 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | ALVR allows you to use the legacy proprietary stuff the way they intend | 16:54:41 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | * ALVR allows you to use the legacy proprietary stuff the way valve intends | 16:54:46 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Monado/Wivrn lets you use open source software that actually works properly, and it works flawlessly with the same GPU | 16:55:08 |
| Makuru 📞(WAAF / 4850) | What, I have alvr running on and. | 16:55:13 |
| Makuru 📞(WAAF / 4850) | * What, I have alvr running on amd. | 16:55:17 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Oh, sure, I just mean to say that my nvidia card works perfectly fine when not interacting with ALVR, but using Wivrn instead. | 16:55:34 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | so I wouldn't blame nvidia | 16:55:48 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | ATM I can't get wlx-overlay-s working in gnome though, wonder why | 16:56:24 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | it shows up in wivrn, interacts, no errors, it's just that nothing shows up in the headset running wivrn | 16:56:38 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | gnome believes that screen sharing is taking place however | 16:56:49 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Ah maybe it's dmabuf related https://github.com/galister/wlx-overlay-s?tab=readme-ov-file#crashes-blank-screens | 16:57:22 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | are nvidia drivers also something that hold the kernel back like zfs? | 17:18:56 |

| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | just so buggy | 17:27:07 |
| K900 | Yes | 17:34:31 |
| K900 | There's no stable kernel API | 17:35:05 |
| K900 | So any out of tree driver can and will break | 17:35:10 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | And there's no way to opt out of the open nvidia driver really anymore | 17:40:00 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | so that's pretty bad | 17:40:03 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | it's like zfs but non-optional | 17:40:35 |
| K900 | There is, you can just run Nouveau | 17:42:10 |
