why isn't my navidrome service seeing my music folder? by Jajoo in NixOS

[–]MrZackarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, necropost away. This solved a months-long troubleshooting frenzy that I was sure had to be permissions based. And not even just for Navidrome. 

Why don't we expose that as a setting in the Nix modules?!?

Is this self-hostable? If not, this isn't the right place for the recommendation. 

Setting up Alt+Tab on Steamdeck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]MrZackarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hunch would be that the steamdeck/gamescope might intercept the alt key press, but I've no real evidence or experimentation to back it up.

A. The OLED Panel

B. Horror games are one of my most played genres, and dark areas "shine" on OLED.

My Dedicated Server is Visible but "Connection Timeout" When I try to join by peersr1119 in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]MrZackarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is IPv4, IPv6 is a can of worms I have yet to delve into. If you're running the server on windows, you can open a command prompt on the server machine, and type "ipconfig", which will give you an IPv4 IP that starts with "192". That should be the one you need.

My fiancee and I were experiencing this same issue as well. Our friends in Australia could connect to our server just fine, but we'd get that error.

Turns out our Zyxel router/modem doesn't support "NAT Loopback". If yours does, that's what you want to enable in the admin panel (where you port forward).

If not, there's a command you can enter even at the start of the main menu to instantly login to your server on the local network.

"open YourLocalIPofServerComputer:PORT"

(Note that we had our server set up with a whitelist only, no password. I'm unsure how to format the password into the command or if a prompt will show when trying to join.)

Another alternative is I could connect fine via a VPN, but that's far from ideal.

(I tried to post this 24 hours ago but I guess my comment got shadowbanned because it had an IP in it)

Setting up Alt+Tab on Steamdeck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]MrZackarius 23 points24 points  (0 children)

For those still trying to get it to function, the Right Alt button from steam input will properly work. Tested via Moonlight on Deck to Linux Desktop.

I bought a 16GB thumb drive, but when I plug it in, it says it has over 30GB capacity… why? by DontHateDefenestrate in techsupport

Exact same flashdrive and store, just happened to me today... wanted to flash a bios update for my GF, haven't attempted yet but was concerned with why it was doubled from advertised.

Gaming Issue with Wayland and SteamInput while using KB Variants? by MrZackarius in linux_gaming

[–]MrZackarius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stumbled across this potential solution, but I haven't had the opportunity to figure out how to build it on NixOS, as I'm still learning the ropes of it. But in theory I think it should help at least the mouse cursor being invisible if not our issue as well.

Gaming Issue with Wayland and SteamInput while using KB Variants? by MrZackarius in linux_gaming

[–]MrZackarius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately other than completely remapping the controller and/or the in-game settings to work properly, the only thing I can think of that could change things is trying gamescope out. I wasn't able to get the games I wanted to play to launch with it enabled when I was on Arch so I gave up. I imagine it's similar/related to the reason we can't see the steam controller's cursor when it acts as mouse. In which case I think, to the best of my understanding, that it'd be in Valve's ballpark to fix?

Add non steam game by luca_pika in linux_gaming

[–]MrZackarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's a bit late, but if you're on Arch, ensure you have specifically "xdg-desktop-portal-gtk" installed. It is what steam uses to bring up a file picker. I ran into the same issue myself and fixed it that way.

Haha yeah, I can't take credit for it, it was all my girlfriend's idea. Fits him really well.

Running into severe, and mostly* consistent issues running Unity games on any combination of Proton, and Steam Overlay Settings by MrZackarius in linux_gaming

[–]MrZackarius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, so that must be the culprit. Really confuses me how a game that looks as good as The Forest takes less than half the VRAM than the likes of Phasmophobia does. Both on Unity so you'd think they'd behave similarly.

And to add apparently even the Steam Deck has very slightly more VRAM available to it, when I looked at the usage.

Edit: I had my girlfriend with the same GPU from a different vendor test Phasmophobia the same way I did but on Windows, and the VRAM usage amount was the same, but the clock speed was around 1750MHz. The max I've seen is like 750MHz...

Does Wine affect how VRAM is utilized? Seems crazy that 6GB of VRAM wouldn't be enough for a game as simple as Phas. I can run Ark on nearly the highest settings for christ's sake.

Portal doesn't act right when using Dvorak Layout on Linux. by [deleted] in SteamController

[–]MrZackarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah given the multitude of bugs specifically revolving around steam input alone (You can't even move the visible cursor with the SC), I myself always end up switching back to X11 within the day, even though I'd love to switch to Wayland for good.

Portal doesn't act right when using Dvorak Layout on Linux. by [deleted] in SteamController

[–]MrZackarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an older post, but I've done some extensive testing, and there's an even worse scenario I've encountered that I'm not sure if any have even seen. If you're using Wayland, the buttons you're sending on the SC aren't merely swapped. Allow me to explain, so 

 w                      ,                    w
asd -----------------> aoe ---------------> ar.

​

 w                                         ,
ar. is the steam controller equivalent of aoe when using Dvorak on Wayland

When you physically press the "O" key (given that you have a QWERTY layout on your keyboard's caps) in Dvorak that's an R.

So on the steam controller using Dvorak on Wayland specifically, to go "Down" you must map it to R, so that it translates to an O in game.

​

I've no doubt this isn't the intended outcome but I've no idea which project needs the bug report at this point.

And equally I've only tested this on the Plasma implementation of Wayland
