Help installing mangohud 0.7.2.
The mangohud included with Bazzite is 0.7.1, which doesn't work properly on my system with two GPUs (it always defaults to GPU0) instead of the one that's in use. The version that seems to run is
/usr/bin/mangohud and it's 0.7.1.
I've confirmed mangohud 0.7.2 fixes the issue, but I can't seem to install it due to the read-only file system.
Seems like it would work, and the repo references mangohud 0.7.2, but upon reboot, mangohud --version returns 0.7.1.
Rather than package layering, I'd love to override the gamescope config to just use a manual download of mangohud in my home directory, but I don't know how.
Any ideas on how to get mangohud updated on my bazzite system?18 Replies
why not just make sure the latest version gets into bazzite stable?
also putting it in
~/.local/bin should make it so that is the version is used for your user
you should mostly just be fine waiting for it to land in stable, there should be a new build once a week for stable. I think we went two weeks this last time but there was upstream issues killing even test builds for a bitbrilliant idea. didn't know about
~/.local/bin!
but I copied 0.7.2. there and it's working!imo not the best idea, becuase you will forget about it and quesiton why you don't have 0.7.3 or whatever next release
any suggestions on how to do this? open a github issue perhaps?
just check to see if it in included in the test images I think
oh, well, mangohud 0.7.2 is half year old, so I don't know if bazzite maintainers will update?
unfortunatly, ~/.local/bin/ doesn't seem to work in game. gamescope appears to still be launching /usr/bin/mangohud 0.7.1
did you have to make the folder?
by default the include to add that to your path only adds the path if it exist
so you might need to relog
I did not; was already there
oh I think gamescope might hard link mongoapp but I could be wrong
so it's in the path, it just seems the gamescope is likely using a hard path to /usr/bin/mangohud
aye. that was my thought as well.
is the gamescope config somewhere that's editable?
umm
is it not all ENV/CLI
ideally, of course, bazzite team would add newer mangohud to upcoming release, but I don't know how to ask haha 🙂
