@nickname if you have a minute I think you had the fix for this

Kyle Gospo•9/10/23, 2:07 AM

Tcmalloc, needs a launch option

Kyle Gospo•9/10/23, 2:07 AM

Package is already installed

Kyle Gospo•9/10/23, 2:07 AM

I'd find it but I'm at my GF's birthday dinner LOL

tryhardsoccermomswag•9/10/23, 3:29 AM

KKyle Gospo Tcmalloc, needs a launch option

tryhardsoccermomswag•9/10/23, 3:32 AM

i think this is it

KKyle Gospo @nickname if you have a minute I think you had the fix for this

dnkmmrOP•9/10/23, 8:49 AM

is this also an issue on the deck version as well? I am asking since it is part of the base image instead of the distrobox

dnkmmrOP•9/10/23, 10:20 AM

it doesn't work

KKyle Gospo @nickname if you have a minute I think you had the fix for this

dnkmmrOP•9/10/23, 10:30 AM

I hope their will be a fix soon

dnkmmrOP•9/10/23, 10:34 AM

I think we are using the wrong image platform

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:30 AM

@dnkmmr if you have a moment

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:30 AM

can you change your launch options for TF2 or Portal to the following:

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:31 AM

TF2 would probably be the more interesting one

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:31 AM

@EyeCantCU ^

EyeCantCU•9/14/23, 3:32 AM

I think we've tried these at one point unfortunately

EyeCantCU•9/14/23, 3:33 AM

Installing Portal on Arch rn

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:33 AM

if those don't work

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:34 AM

make sure libglvnd is installed as well

EyeCantCU•9/14/23, 3:39 AM

So far Steam hasn't complained about attempting to use nouveau

EyeCantCU•9/14/23, 3:39 AM

Install is taking ages though

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:42 AM

should be preinstalled on bazzite-arch

EyeCantCU•9/14/23, 3:44 AM

Everything works on vanilla Arch. Willing to wager that it's vulkan-radeon being problematic with Nvidia

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:44 AM

hmm

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:45 AM

Steam requires something be installed, so that's unfortunate for us from a cleanliness standpoint

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:45 AM

but it can be done

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 3:45 AM

can we try those launch options on bazzite-arch before we go that path?

EyeCantCU•9/14/23, 3:45 AM

Yeah

EyeCantCU•9/14/23, 3:45 AM

I have tried those previously myself but would be interesting to see if they work for others

EyeCantCU•9/14/23, 4:04 AM

Looking into what this would take... I don't like it

Either we install nvidia-utils and it's lib32 counterpart with pacman -Sdd then install Steam (in which case, a user update would probably break this), or we do the same for Steam and install it and every dependency BUT those two things

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 4:12 AM

steam requires a driver package

Kyle Gospo•9/14/23, 4:12 AM

so we have to install nvidia, none isn't an option

EyeCantCU•9/14/23, 4:22 AM

With -Sdd it is if you list out every other dep by hand but that's not realistic
