  1. <bpa> hi, sorry to desturb
  2. <srhb> Hi :)
  3. <bpa> i have set in configuration.nix the following
  4. <bpa> nixpkgs.overlays = [ (self: super: { mySteam = super.steamPackages.steam-chrootenv.override { withPrimus = true; }; } ) ];
  5. <bpa> environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ mySteam ];
  6. <srhb> Looks good.
  7. <bpa> but still does not launch the game
  8. <srhb> What's the launch command for the game?
  9. <bpa> primusrun %command%
  10. <srhb> How did you previously install steam?
  11. <bpa> previusly i installed like environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ steam ];
  12. <srhb> Okay, and you did a nixos-rebuild switch and restarted steam?
  13. <bpa> rebuild switch + reboot OS
  14. <bpa> then opened steam
  15. <srhb> Does this work correctly? nix-shell -p primus glxinfo --command glxinfo
  16. <bpa> error: Package ‘nvidia-x11-387.34-4.9.71’ in /nix/store/48lr1wm3bvl61a9q3ffvps9ya233khal-nixos-18.03pre123588.ade98dc442e/nixos/pkgs/os-specific/linux/nvidia-x11/generic.nix:79 has an unfree license (‘unfreeRedistributable’), refusing to evaluate.
  17. <bpa> a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
  18. <bpa> { nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; }
  19. <bpa> in configuration.nix to override this.
  20. <bpa> b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
  21. <bpa> { allowUnfree = true; }
  22. <bpa> to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
  23. <bpa> (use ‘--show-trace’ to show detailed location information)
  24. <srhb> Add that to your ~/.config/nixpkgs.config.nix then
  25. <srhb> Er
  26. <srhb> ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix
  27. <srhb> Did you actually enable bumblebee in your nixos config?
  28. <bpa> yes i have enabled bumblebee in configuration.nix
  29. <srhb> OK, just making sure :)
  30. <bpa> also in configuration.nix i have
  31. <bpa> nixpkgs.config = {
  32. <bpa> allowUnfree = true;
  33. <bpa> # firefox = { enableAdobeFlash = true; };
  34. <bpa> # chromium = { enablePepperFlash = true; };
  35. <bpa> };
  36. <srhb> Right.
  37. <bpa> do i still need to put it allowUnfree in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix ?
  38. <srhb> Yes, in order to run the test command
  39. <srhb> nixpkgs options in configuration.nix don't affect your user commands.
  40. <bpa> ok i will do it
  41. <srhb> And after that command, try again with...
  42. <srhb> nix-shell -p primus glxinfo --command "primusrun glxinfo"
  43. <srhb> You should see server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation then
  44. <bpa> i don't have the directory ~/.config/nixpkgs i need to create it ?
  45. <srhb> Yeah
  46. <srhb> So, working?
  47. <bpa> saddly the game will still not launch
  48. <bpa> nix-shell -p primus glxinfo --command "primusrun glxinfo" | grep NVIDIA
  49. <bpa> server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
  50. <bpa> OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
  51. <bpa> OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 387.34
  52. <bpa> OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50 NVIDIA
  53. <bpa> OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 387.34
  54. <bpa> OpenGL shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA
  55. <srhb> OK, so that works.
  56. <srhb> What does nix-shell -p glxinfo --command glxinfo | grep NVIDIA say?
  57. <srhb> (I'm not trying to make the game work yet, just trying to figure out what's wrong)
  58. <bpa> it does not show anything
  59. <srhb> OK, good. Hmm.
  60. <srhb> I would now try to run steam from a terminal so we can see its output when it tries to run the game
  61. <bpa> nix-shell -p glxinfo --command glxinfo
  62. <bpa> name of display: :0
  63. <bpa> display: :0 screen: 0
  64. <bpa> direct rendering: Yes
  65. <bpa> server glx vendor string: SGI
  66. <bpa> server glx version string: 1.4
  67. <bpa> server glx extensions:
  68. <srhb> Looks good.
  69. <srhb> I was just checking if your xserver was accidentally using nvidia drivers
  70. <srhb> try running steam from a terminal now
  71. <srhb> So we can see what it outputs when you launch the game
  72. <bpa> here is whe i launch just steam
  73. <bpa> $ steam

  179. <srhb> That's OK.
  180. <srhb> We just want the output from when you press launch on the game
  181. <srhb> Please use a pastebin next time :P
  182. <srhb> Done? :P
  183. <srhb> Looks like it.
  184. <srhb> Now, please try to launch the game and only paste the output from that.
  185. <srhb> If it's more than a few lines, please use a pastebin.
  186. <bpa> the game launched by starting steam with terminal
  187. <srhb> That implies that the steam you're launching through your WM is not the right one.
  188. <srhb> Find the path of the steam in your terminal and the path of the steam in your wm
  189. <bpa> in steam.desktop the path is : Exec=/nix/store/ck115l2dqhlzlq9pml4l7bhx967z54l9-steam/bin/steam %U
  190. <bpa> i don't know yet how to find the path for the steam launched from terminal
  191. <srhb> which steam
  192. <srhb> run that :)
  193. <bpa> $ which steam
  194. <bpa> .. /run/current-system/sw/bin/steam
  195. <bpa> without ..
  196. <srhb> Yeah, that's the path that environment.systemPackages builds
  197. <srhb> Try making that your desktop link too
  198. <bpa> i will make it so
  199. <srhb> Let me know if it works :)
  200. <bpa> it woooooooorked
  201. <srhb> :) Yay
  202. <bpa> ty so much for your help
  203. <srhb> You're welcome.
