 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 |
| Alex Davidson Bryan | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
It sounds like you might be mixing nixpkgs versions yeah 👍️ | 12:31:45 |
| Alex Davidson Bryan | I'll upgrade system to unstable and see how that goes | 12:31:54 |
| K900 | Yes, that's explicitly unsupported and a bad idea | 12:32:01 |
| Alex Davidson Bryan | no it makes sense, I didn't realise I was doing it | 12:32:11 |
