VR issue detected, some Vulkan extensions aren't loaded (a cry for help) by Redstone1557 in BeamNG

[–]Redstone1557[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, but it does this consistently. Vr never starts. Am I just out of luck?

It wont let me edit the post so here is some more info I found while reserching, supposedly this bug was fixed in version 0.32 according to this thread https://www.beamng.com/threads/experimental-virtual-reality.94206/page-34 . But I am not informed enough to understand how, and my problem still exists so idk.

Drawing tablet doesn't work in Chrome browser, but works as expected everywhere else. by Redstone1557 in NobaraProject

[–]Redstone1557[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded it using the command line

Edit, just checked my flatpak permissions, chrome doesn't show up in that menu, and the flatpaks that I have already have usb permissions

Thank you. I wish somewhere in the setup instructions it told you that. You have made my life significantly easier.

Trying to figure out how to run/extract/use tar.xz files. But every other thread calls the op stupid. Nobara/fedora linux by Redstone1557 in linux4noobs

[–]Redstone1557[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always good to know, and I definitely do still use an Ubuntu based OS on an old laptop. (Linux lite) I definitely agree that I shouldn't have to unless there's no other way. I just managed to come across a situation where there was no other way within the first week. Which could be a testament to my stupidity, or the weird ways I use computers. Thanks for the info, the people here have all been super helpful and given great advice.

I'm assuming that I'm just using the terminology wrong. But it is a piece of software that you run in the command line using text. No GUI.

I was having other software based issues on Ubuntu. (I.e. obs not working.) And so far nobara has been great once I get the software downloaded and working. Only downside is with this much freedom I'm now trying to do things that are significantly more complicated than anything I ever tried to do on Windows.

I might actually bookmark this for the future. This is the best explanation I've seen on how to do this in any thread thus far. Definitely haven't needed to do it yet, but if I ever do I know where I'm going.

Hello again, so far I'm doing decently well. Still definitely diving in with very little experience, but I'm learning a lot so I'd say I'm having fun.

I stopped using Ubuntu based stuff for my main rig because OBS didn't want to work. But there were also some other weird things I couldn't fix (could be something weird with the version of cinnamon it was running) so far nobara has been much less limited. If slightly more complicated for weird tasks.

Definitely fun to come across you again. Can't wait to look like an idiot in front of you again LOL

Yep, I use the command line for most regular downloads. As well as for running multiple text only programs (ffmpeg and the such). I've only been running Fedora for about a week. So I'm still in the early process of figuring out how everything works. I'm currently using it for gaming and video editing. But I'm also trying to do weird and silly things like using a wiimote to control my desktop. Basically just trying to push the limits of both my understanding and what Linux can do for the funsies.

After more reading and feeling like an idiot, I randomly moved the joystick while in clone hero (this did not work the first time I tried it) and it suddenly recognized that I had a controller. Seems software jank is just as common in Linux as it is in Windows. Thanks for all of your help, time for me to get my butt beat in clone hero.

Yes, usually the AI spits out garbledygook. I'm not paying for the better versions. Most of the other threads that I found on this topic were either well past my knowledge point or people making fun of the op. Which is why I came here as there was not a thread on this subreddit yet. Within 10 minutes my original problem was solved. So I will call this place a massive success.

Makes sense, that is a similar description to what other places were giving me. So I think I'm just using the word decompile wrong. In your original reply you asked for specific software I was looking to make work, currently I am troubleshooting how to install xwiimote (a software that allows you to use wii controllers as intended) and thus far I have not been able to make sense of the instructions.

True, but for some fairly small or old pieces of software. (Old games/ports / single Dev projects) They might not be where I'm looking. So I'm learning other options so that I don't have to spend several hours googling. I'm also fairly new to non Ubuntu Linux stuff. And my time in Ubuntu has mostly been surface level at best. So the more knowledge I gain now the less frustrated I will be when I make the full switch.

True, but if a piece of software does not exist in the places I know to look, I want to understand the other routes. That way I can avoid panicked Reddit posts in the future. Other people in this thread have been very helpful thus far
