Screen turns blank on Nixos

uniform-turquoise · 2023-11-24T23:44:19.932Z

The app opens, 3 seconds it work and all the buttons respond, then it suddenly turns white blank and I can't refresh. I am on the latest Nix Os version and I just installed today. Reboot didn't work. 😦

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 1:45 AM

Mmoderate-tomato How did you install heroic?

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:20 AM

just added heroic to the to my user's programs in the config.nix

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:24 AM

OK, that version has a known issue caused by using the wrong Electron version. It's fixed on the unstable channel, and the 23.11 release should be out soon, or you could install only heroic from

nixos-unstable

nixos-unstable

nixos-unstable

nixos-unstable.

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:26 AM

The quickest fix would probably be to change

heroic

heroic

heroic

heroic in your

config.nix

config.nix

config.nix

config.nix to

(heroic.override { electron = electron_27; })

(heroic.override { electron = electron_27; })

(heroic.override { electron = electron_27; })

(heroic.override { electron = electron_27; })

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:27 AM

Wait, that won't quite work because of the FHS env wrapper...

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:28 AM

I think this would do it.

nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
  heroic-unwrapped = heroic-unwrapped.override {
    electron = electron_27;
  };
};

nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
  heroic-unwrapped = heroic-unwrapped.override {
    electron = electron_27;
  };
};

nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
  heroic-unwrapped = heroic-unwrapped.override {
    electron = electron_27;
  };
};

nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
  heroic-unwrapped = heroic-unwrapped.override {
    electron = electron_27;
  };
};

thank you

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:29 AM

Wait, that also won't work because 23.05 still has heroic 2.7.1

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:30 AM

the flatpak version work?

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:30 AM

It might.

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:30 AM

i did install it but gameplay was uhh not so good

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:30 AM

I think the

packageOverrides

packageOverrides

packageOverrides

packageOverrides solution will work if you just change

electron_27

electron_27

electron_27

electron_27 to

electron_23

electron_23

electron_23

electron_23.

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:31 AM

if nothing works, il try lutris

Mmoderate-tomato I think the `packageOverrides` solution will work if you just change `electron_2...

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:31 AM

yes yes thank you

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:32 AM

But if you have any issues at all, you're going to be told to update to the latest version of Heroic, so you really should try using heroic from

nixpkgs-unstable

nixpkgs-unstable

nixpkgs-unstable

nixpkgs-unstable if you decide you want to stick with Heroic.

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:32 AM

Lutris is always a good option. It has different tradeoffs to Heroic.

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:33 AM

intresting

Mmoderate-tomato Lutris is always a good option. It has different tradeoffs to Heroic.

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:33 AM

does lutris support epic games?

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:33 AM

I have no idea; I'd have to check.

im so bad at the language

M

moderate-tomato•11/25/23, 2:35 AM

Oops, that should be

pkgs.heroic-unwrapped.override

pkgs.heroic-unwrapped.override

pkgs.heroic-unwrapped.override

pkgs.heroic-unwrapped.override

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:37 AM

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:37 AM

U

uniform-turquoiseOP•11/25/23, 2:37 AM
