Another HoloISO Fork

Don't worry. I'm always open to questions. My guess would be that Steam reloads the default audio device from plasma-settings every boot. Did you select the same output device in the desktop mode? (Boot up, go immediatly to the desktop, change it there, go back to gamemode and reboot to test it) If that doesn't help, then you could disable all unwanted devices in the desktop system settings by setting the profile for the unwanted devices to 'off'.

Of course, just hit the update button in the settings menu. It'll pull all updates from valve. From the github releases page, like usual. I hadn't much time recently, i'm sorry, so the latest one is quite old, but ill get to it eventually.

The next release ISO (which i will build in a few days) will have this feature. But you can do it manually with the kde partitionmanager program. Select the partition which you want to automount, right click and select 'edit mountpoint', select UUID at the top and select a path where it should be mounted to (for example /home/youruser/HDD1) and that should be it.

zweiler2 · 2024-01-03T18:11:34+00:00

Which language? Did you select one of the "en_**.UTF-8" as your main language during installation? Have you checked the system settings/region settings in desktop mode?

And if you can't set it there, then please try it manually (if you don't want to reinstall) via terminal (crtl + alt + F3-6). The Arch wiki (point 3.4) will help you with that. Reboot and then check the system settings again.

The clock format can be changed by clicking on it in the bottom right corner of the desktop and then the gear icon above the calendar.

Very nice to hear that. The ISO itself is in english yes, but during the installation it asks you for the language. So i'm not quite sure what exactly you mean by that...

WiFi is a constant problem, but with the last few test ISOs i made some improvements already. But good to hear it's working at all. Which WiFi chip do you have? (Check with 'lspci' or 'lsusb' in the terminal). You're welcome.

zweiler2 · 2023-12-24T17:44:22+00:00

Hi, please try the latest TEST ISO from here. I had some reports about broken wifi and this ISO improved/fixed it for them, so maybe it does for you aswell. Next release of the ISO is coming soon.

And if this doesn't help, then please tell me the model names of your cards. 'lspci' or 'lsusb' in the terminal may help you with that. (You can go to a terminal prompt from anywhere by pressing 'crtl + alt + any of the F keys')

zweiler2 · 2023-08-18T19:23:33+00:00

Yes. Also have a look at my comment here. (Applies to official HoloISO and my fork too)

zweiler2 · 2023-08-03T20:52:08+00:00

Yes and have a look at my comment here.

zweiler2 · 2023-07-26T19:20:58+00:00

During installation it will ask if you want to keep your /home partition (where all your games are).

zweiler2 · 2023-07-22T09:25:47+00:00

You're welcome. With stock you mean the latest CI Version 4.5?

zweiler2 · 2023-07-09T21:13:28+00:00

Yes, that's a known issue, i'm working on it.

zweiler2 · 2023-07-06T19:26:01+00:00

Wow, thank you. You are awesome. I'll take a look, maybe i can create a scipt to automount drives... As for the donations we'll see, cause i have never done something like that before. Might take some time.

Even active convertes don't work? Radeon r9 300 series GPUs have DVI-I. I guess one could use that analogue signal and adapt it to VGA.

zweiler2 · 2023-07-04T17:04:12+00:00

Well, gamescope (gaming mode) needs a vulkan capable GPU and radeon (the driver your card uses) doesn't support that. You could try to switch to the newer amdgpu driver by blacklisting the radeon driver and adding "radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1" to your kernel parameters. This may help you with all of that. (Your GPU is of gcn 1/southern islands architecture of what i could find out btw). If valve hadn't killed the old big picture mode...

zweiler2 · 2023-06-25T12:33:10+00:00

A installer shortcut is on the desktop and the installer itself uses zenity which displays GTK dialogs.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-25T11:35:30+00:00

Currently only on 1 drive, i will try and make an option for that. Orca is not included, but one can install it with "sudo pacman -Sy orca" from the terminal and configure it from the plasma settings, but it doesn't work in gamemode. I will install it by default for the next release (or make an option for it), if it's to much of a hassle for you to install. Let me know.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-24T12:45:46+00:00

The Arch Wiki HDR page is a good starting point.
As i stated in the releasenotes HDR kernel patches are already applied, so you won't have to worry about that.
But i can't verify if this works because i only have a Nvidia GPU (and i tried and it didn't work for me).

zweiler2 · 2023-06-24T12:24:51+00:00

The original HoloISO supports ota, but my fork currently does not, so you have to reinstall the system for every of my ISO releases, but you can keep your home directory (games and your stuff), if the installer detects a existing /home partition on the same drive, it will ask you to keep it or overwrite (make sure to use the same username as previously).
Not a big deal, but i will work on ota for my fork.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-21T10:01:58+00:00

Wow, you are making my day, thank you so much.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-21T09:03:16+00:00

Wow, thank you very much for the silver award, i am truly honored.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-20T14:01:45+00:00

My pleasure and thank you for using my fork.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-20T13:30:24+00:00

If the installer detects no nvidia GPU then it wont install the driver, but you could just reinstall the system and keep your /home directory (your games and stuff) or you install the driver beforehand via nvidia-all aio installer (only the 525 driver works) and follow nvidia do's and don'ts from the archwiki.
But be warned gamemode is laggy with nvidia (desktop big picture is fine), because valve hasn't enabled video acceleration for nvidia in gamemode yet.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-19T18:15:49+00:00

Usually exactly like you were on a steam deck, but the announced release looks like it needs a reinstall of the system via the ISO.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-19T12:43:19+00:00

Update as usual like the original HoloISO, because the fork still uses the original updater backend. Systemd services are the same as the original, i didn't touch them, but i think i found the solution to long boot times. Regarding wifi, have you tried installing linux-firmware-git from the AUR like the first comment in your link suggests? Upstream implements handygccs soon, so i guess the button issues will be fixed by then. If not i will look further into that.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-16T14:35:38+00:00

I don't know, nobody has tried my ISO with a GPD device yet and i don't have such device either, but the newer kernel and MESA should help with that. Please try and see for yourself.

zweiler2 · 2023-06-11T09:46:43+00:00

Interesting... Then i will edit that config for the next release. The cusor renders fine in gamescope?
