 woobilicious | No rules for Xbox...so I might need to further investigate why it's not hotplug detecting my xbox 360 controller. | 06:52:34 |
| woobilicious | Or it'll start working randomly. | 06:56:39 |
 K900 | Those controllers are for Steam Input | 06:58:44 |
| K900 | That is, if the rules are there, Steam can take over and driver the controller from userspace | 06:59:02 |
| K900 | Which allows all the fancy remapping machinery to work | 06:59:09 |
| woobilicious | Yeah I'm confused now, I had to restart steam the other day before it didn't detect my controller and now it's working fine. I did have issues with my own custom uinput emulator a while back, but I put that down to the nature of custom uinput devices. | 07:02:03 |
| woobilicious | really wish I had backed up that custom uinput device...3 years of bcachefs patches left it corrupt :. | 07:05:16 |
| woobilicious | I could update the docs atleast be slightly more accurate, it does seem weird to not just install the udev rules. I assume most people running steam would want it to just work. | 07:14:59 |
| K900 | The rules are installed if you use programs.steam.enable = true | 07:15:21 |
| woobilicious | ohh I didn't see that. | 07:16:08 |
| K900 | FWIW, the amdgpu crash fix should be in today's kernel updates | 12:06:58 |

 Tumble | 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 | You can probably just boot it from a USB stick or something | 08:53:54 |
| Tumble | Can I run vr from a live cd? | 08:54:21 |
| K900 | I don't see why not | 08:54:35 |
| Tumble | 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 | 09:27:14 |

| Tumble | Wait why does HL Alyx work now but not before in nix | 09:55:20 |
| K900 | Possibly something got updated | 09:55:32 |
| K900 | Either on NixOS side or on Steam's | 09:55:37 |
| Tumble | The only difference is that I'm in opensuse live cd | 09:58:20 |
 Atemu | What didn't work about HL:A on NixOS? | 11:04:02 |
| Tumble | I go back into nix and it doesnt launch | 11:59:43 |
| Tumble | Also steam vr doesn't launch at all if I persist its folders | 12:00:43 |

Also steam vr doesn't launch at all if I persist its folders Not sure how it keeps the room setup without persisting its folders but it does so maybe it doesn't put it there | 12:02:22 |

What didn't work about HL:A on NixOS? Doesn't launch in non proton or proton | 12:19:12 |
| Atemu | 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 |

Tumble: WDYM "persist its folders" are you doing home-manager's weird FUSE bind-mounts? Those are known to cause all kinds of issues. I've tried both that and the symlinks | 22:21:19 |
| Tumble | Steam likes it's library folders as symlinks, I do know that | 22:21:44 |
