Moved to nix from flatpak while purging packages. KSP won't launch.

It was mostly working in flatpak, but an update broke it. For various reasons, I decided to move a number of packages from flatpak to nix, including heroic. Because of space constraints, I also removed a bunch of apt packages, which includes dxvc. After installing everything I can think of, including all listed on the WineDependencies.md file as well as dxvc, after importing the install of Kerbal Space Program, attempting to run it yields a launcher screen, then an error saying it can't connect to Epic Online Services. After some research, I've found someone saying to change the alternative EXE to KSP_x64.EXE. That gives me a new error screen (attached) with the following error message:

OPENGL ERROR: failed to choose pixel format for dc 1701004b
GLContext warn: failed to setup offscreen pixel format: Invalid window handle.

GLContext: failed to create context: Success.

Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed

I've also attached the heroic log file, although I don't think it has anything relevant (outside of the empty listing under GRAPHICS). I will note that it worked in the past on this laptop, so it appears to be a dependency issue.

Sounds very fun I'm not familiar with Devuan Linux, but judging by the empty "GRAPHICS" section, you might be missing GPU drivers. Since Devuan seems to be based on Debian, you should be able to follow https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/WineDependencies.md#ubuntudebianubuntu-derivativesdebian-derivatives

As I said, I have installed all dependencies listed there.

Hang on, sorry, wrong link https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md#amd--intel

Those are also all installed.

Hmm Does something like vkcube run fine?

Well, something Vulkan-related isn't quite right then Could you try adding PROTON_USE_WINED3D to the game environment variables (Name PROTON_USE_WINED3D, Value 1) and seeing if the game now runs?

very similar error (the eight digit number is different)

looking at https://askubuntu.com/questions/817226/how-to-enable-dri3-on-ubuntu-16-04#817232 , I don't have any DRI stuff in any of the xorg.conf.d files.

I'm trying to learn Vulkan, so I install the Mesa Vulkan drivers and development files. I downloaded some examples. I compiled the examples and tried to execute one. But when I run the file from

Added the file and rebooted, but vkcube still doesn't work, and neither does KSP.

you need to install vulkan drivers

eastern-cyanOP•3y ago

Where would I find those? and would installing them with apt work, or would it need to be with nix? installing goverlay, along with it's dependencies seems to have fixed it.

harsh-harlequin•3y ago

depends on your distro.. look up installing vulkan for your distro
