@tumble1999:matrix.orgTumble Is there a good way of using open suse on my system for a bit just to play a specific vr game and then come back when I'm finished?
I have btrfs on 2 drives, one has a sub volume called root and the other drive has a sub volume called home
Could I just make a new subvolumes for open suse and then delete them when finished
How does /boot work, could I just overwrite it and then have nix overwrite it later or is there a better way like properly dual booting or soemthing
08:53:31
@k900:0upti.meK900You can probably just boot it from a USB stick or something08:53:54
@tumble1999:matrix.orgTumbleCan I run vr from a live cd?08:54:21
@k900:0upti.meK900I don't see why not08:54:35

In reply to @k900:0upti.me
I don't see why not

Ah ok good, I thought I'd struggle with drivers or storage or soemthing but no


I just installed steam and then added my steam library from nix
Then launched steam vr in that library and then seems to work

@tumble1999:matrix.orgTumbleWait why does HL Alyx work now but not before in nix09:55:20
@k900:0upti.meK900Possibly something got updated09:55:32
@k900:0upti.meK900Either on NixOS side or on Steam's09:55:37
@tumble1999:matrix.orgTumbleThe only difference is that I'm in opensuse live cd09:58:20
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuWhat didn't work about HL:A on NixOS?11:04:02
@tumble1999:matrix.orgTumbleI go back into nix and it doesnt launch11:59:43
@tumble1999:matrix.orgTumbleAlso steam vr doesn't launch at all if I persist its folders12:00:43

Not sure how it keeps the room setup without persisting its folders but it does so maybe it doesn't put it there

What didn't work about HL:A on NixOS?
Doesn't launch in non proton or proton

@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemu Tumble: WDYM "persist its folders" are you doing home-manager's weird FUSE bind-mounts? Those are known to cause all kinds of issues. 18:59:41

I've tried both that and the symlinks
22:21:19
@tumble1999:matrix.orgTumbleSteam likes it's library folders as symlinks, I do know that22:21:44
@tumble1999:matrix.orgTumble

Also in other news, I dont know how monado works,
Interms of what do I do differently when I chose to use that instead of steam vr
I have it enabled in the config
But what do I do when runninga game


Steam vr is:



  1. Start Steam vr
    2.start game


Whats monado:
...
2 start game?

Without any kind of error logs, we can't tell what's going on.

Monado is an OpenXR implementation and the loader works similarly to Vulkan in that there are jsons describing runtimes
22:26:12
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuThe OpenXR program reads these files according to spec and loads the correct runtime22:26:47
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuThis would then start the monado service22:27:01
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuTo play OpenVR games though, you need opencomposite which is a 3rd party OpenVR implementation atop of OpenXR22:27:40
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuGet simple OpenXR apps working first though22:27:54
