Dude, the number of times I’ve resorted to a reinstall are innumerable. You know a bit more than you did yesterday and that isn’t nothing.

If you want to try a new project that’ll need tinkering with (but won’t break your existing install) look at gamescope.

Currently it’s the only way to get HDR and variable refresh rate to work. It’s what Valve made to get those features into the Steamdeck.

You just run it with

gamescope -- %command%

In your steam launch options. You’ll need to look up the options (otherwise it defaults to 720p@60hz). Ex:

gamescope -w 2160 -- %command%

For 4k. There’s a switch for HDR too but I don’t remember it without looking it up. You can use gamescope to enable FSR in any game, it can apply reshade shaders (so, things like anti aliasing in games that don’t have it natively).

Other than that, any issues you have with a particular game can usually be solved by looking at protondb.com

Keep using the GE-Proton builds of proton for best results.

Have fun 🤓

Yeah, you have Vulkan and Mesa and the GPU drivers are in the kernel. That’s the whole stack (along with Proton).

Before reinstalling completely, run a full system upgrade, I took this from system76s support page:

sudo apt update
# configure any packages partially setup 
sudo dpkg --configure -a 
# fix any missing package dependency 
sudo apt install -f 
# upgrade all packages and dependencies to newest in release 
sudo apt full-upgrade 
# make sure the `pop-desktop` meta package is installed 
sudo apt install pop-desktop

You’re also likely using some flatpak applications, so:

flatpak update

Then reboot.

They want you to reinstall because walking you through a fresh install is just more time efficient for their support staff than trying to troubleshoot system configuration problems (imagine the possible things a random user could change x.x).

I just noticed my reply from my phone didn’t go through x.x

This seems a lot like you’re missing some 32bit libraries. There isn’t a /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i386.json listed in the vulkan logs.

I have no idea how they’d be named in PopOS, but I’d look into vulkan first. You may have the vulkan-radeon 64bit drivers , but not the 32bit. Wine needs the 32bit libraries for the time being.

Check

dpkg -l | grep vulkan

(or post all of dkpg -l if it isn’t too long)

to see if you have the i386 version of the vulkan radeon drivers (for reference, in arch this is lib32-vulkan-radeon, possibly the same in PopOS)

If not install them (apt search vulkan and look for something with vulkan, radeon and i386 in the file name)

99664.262:00d4:00d8:err:xrandr:xrandr14_get_adapters Failed to get adapters

Hmmm, this gets some hits. It seems like it isn’t able to figure out which driver to use.

You can specify the driver that Vulkan should use by adding an environmental variable VK_ICD_FILENAME set the the json file for your card.

Try editing a game and changing the launch options to:

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json %command%

Maybe they don’t want to clean up a fresh install of Windows, maybe they don’t own a computer, maybe they don’t have arms, maybe they can’t read

It’s because your data is orders of magnitude more valuable if it has enough information to identify you as a person.

They can’t sell it to data brokers for a lot of money if those data brokers can’t find any information to link that data with their existing profiles.

Surveillance capitalism 101, companies obtain the most value by enabling other corporations to spy on every detail of your life.

If you can’t use a service anonymously, without it being linked to your actual person, then you can either be okay with living with the panopticon, or don’t use the service.

Discord has been slowing rolling this out over the years. It started being offered as a “spam protection” feature and eventually it’ll be a requirement to have an account.

They depend on the masses of people who will trade all of their privacy in exchange for not having to learn how to use VoIP software, video streaming software or IM software.

I use it in this configuration.

It works well except, if you lose connection temporarily the cloudflared stops responding until some, long (60s or so) timeout period.

A minor annoyance, I usually just manuirestart the service… but I cannot find the setting that is causing this.

No errors, that’s good and also not useful :/

As an aside, this is likely not the problem, but a good tip in general, is to use protonup to install GE-Proton (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom). It is a community fork which essentially Proton Experimental + community fixes. The System76 article I linked above has the instructions (TL;DR, install protonup (terminal) or protonup-qt (GUI) and they’ll grab it for you and put it in the right directory, restart Steam and select the new version from the Compatibility menu either globally or per-game).

You essentially always want to be using the latest version of Proton unless something that was working breaks in a newer version.

So, next step, more logs:

You can enable proton logging by setting PROTON_LOG=1 as an environmental variable. You can do this per-game by right clicking a game -> Properties -> General and editing the launch options to say

PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

Launch the game and let it crash or whatever. There will be a steam-$APPID.log in your home directory.

Stay with experimental for now.

Do other games show a similar behavior or is it limited to KSP?

BG3 should work fine (was just playing it on Linux about 30m ago, but Arch, btw, etc).

You can get some extra logging from steam, if you exit completely and the, in a terminal, run:

steam -d

It’ll start Steam but output a lot of info to the terminal. The bit we’re interested in isn’t the stuff that it generates while Steam is starting. We want the bit that happens when you press play on a game. It’ll output the information about the important bits (like the Vulkan device, driver versions, monitors, etc )

Make sure there’s no obvious account info in the logs (there shouldn’t be, but always check) and post that.

I’m off to bed but I’ll check in with you tomorrow

OP, I didn’t see if you’d confirmed that you’d enable Steam Play, see this article: https://support.system76.com/articles/linux-gaming

Kerbal Space Program has a Linux native client and a windows client. By default, Steam will try to install the Linux native client, which is using OpenGL and, apparently, doing software rendering.

You could try to troubleshoot why OpenGL is broken, you probably are missing an environmental variable or something to tell it to use a specific device and so it defaults to software. However, this is kind of a moot point. Development stopped on OpenGL in 2017 and so bugs and weirdness will continue to crop up and fixing it won’t resolve your core issue (Which may be that you’re just not using Proton).

If you’re going to game on this system then you should do what most people do and enable Steam Play and let Steam download the Windows version of KSP and run it through Proton (aka Steam’s version of WINE). Often the Windows versions of games are more supported than the Linux native versions and WINE/Proton do an excellent job of translating the underlying windows system calls into Linux-ese. Proton is the primary reason why gaming on Linux works, because it lets you just play the Windows version of games.

Your logs indicate that your graphics card is the default device for Vulkan and so it should just work as soon as you enable Steam Play. If you have any problems with other games (once you verify that you’re using your graphics card) you can look them up on Protondb (https://www.protondb.com/) and see if you need to make any setting changes. KSP looks to have a Gold rating and appears to work with Proton without any changes.

TempleOS is all anyone needs

Ah, I see DDG has started the slow slide into enshittification.

Start off with a good service, gain a userbase, then start to slowly boil the frog an extract cash.

It’s a very important issue.

But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that — because — child care is child care student loans are student loans… It’s something, you have to have it in this country. You have to have it.

But when you talk about those numbers, compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to, but they’ll get used to it very quickly, and it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country,

Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we’re talking about, including child care, that it’s going to take care. We’re going to have — I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country.

TL;DR: He has no idea

Essentially all of the industrialized world was destroyed in WWII, except the US. Being the only major supplier of manufactured goods for, the entire world resulted in a huge amount of economic growth that we coasted on for half a century.

You’re just confused and don’t understand the terminology of the software that you’re using…

The Original Poster made a post about a specific person. In the Comment Section there are many people responding to the OP. Each of these comments form a thread. The thread consists of people replying to the person above them.

The thread is the context of conversation, as all replies in the thread are a reply to a reply, etc to the person making the first comment in the thread.

The first comment, in this thread in which we’re conversing, is:

Nazis are shitbags, yes, but like, calm down a bit. Don’t stoop down to their level.

Notice how it is talking about a group of people and not a single person.

I’m talking about a group of people and not a single person.

In this thread, which followed the comment that I just quoted, we’re talking about a group of people and not a single person.

You seem to be confused and think we’re having a conversation with the OP, who has not commented in this thread.

You’re ‘just talking’ right now.

If you didn’t believe that talking worked and violence is the only answer, then why are you here talking?

Are you a hypocrite, or just a coward?

You’re only wasting time and talking reckless so that you feel better about being helpless. You have no idea how to navigate the situation and, like everyone since the beginning of time, you resort to thinking that someone should do violence instead of talking.

But not you, no, you’re just going to hide behind a keyboard and anonymity and talk about violence.

The people encouraging violence are often the first target of the secret police in fascist takeovers and I highly doubt that you have more than a flimsy door between you and the goon squad that’ll be kicking it in at 3am.

At the end of the day by openly and wrecklessly talking about violence, you’ve alienated allies and made yourself a target.

This isn’t a game.
