Hi there

I'm new to bazzite, I want to play Star citizen but I have to upgrade zram cause I need at least 12gb of zram, I found the way to update it but not to persist it :/
How can I do ?

TilicanOP•5/10/24, 1:38 PM

# swapoff /dev/zram0
# zramctl --reset /dev/zram0
# zramctl --find --size 12G
/dev/zram0
# mkswap /dev/zram0
# swapon /dev/zram0

# swapoff /dev/zram0
# zramctl --reset /dev/zram0
# zramctl --find --size 12G
/dev/zram0
# mkswap /dev/zram0
# swapon /dev/zram0

Aantheas you layered the package?

sectorfive•5/10/24, 1:43 PM

what do you mean?

sectorfive•5/10/24, 1:44 PM

also how else would I in ll packages from fedora repos if I can't just use DNF install?

KKyle Gospo Try removing LACT

Sectorfive@fedora:~$ rpm-ostree uninstall lact

Doesn't let me

@Сэкторфайв try rpm -qa | grep -i lactrpm -qa | grep -i lact. Maybe the package is named something else

Is there anyway to be able to modify the "/usr/share/wayland-sessions/" folder? I tried previously but it's read only I believe. I'm not too familiar with Fedora sorry if it's a silly question

/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf <-- edit and reboot at your own risk
however why do you need to set it to reserve 12GB for compressed ram? you know this doesnt magically conjure up ram, just like adding 12GB of swap/pagefile does not give you 12GB of ram in any OS (even though it fools some system requirement checks)

Kyle Gospo•5/10/24, 2:02 PM

You can't, that's read only

Kyle Gospo•5/10/24, 2:02 PM

What are you trying to change in there?

Dankrr•5/10/24, 2:06 PM

Shoot! I was going to have it point to a Hyprland distrobox instance. Planning around with other desktop environments and just thought I'd be fun to try

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:07 PM

yeah that will not work

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:08 PM

if you want hyprland or another DE or WM you need to make a custom image

Dankrr•5/10/24, 2:10 PM

Unfortunate. I was reading some of the docs for distrobox and had that as one of the examples

TilicanOP•5/10/24, 2:12 PM

i need to put 12gb of zram cause Star Citizen use a LOT OF RAM !
I just have 24gb and it crash, from peoples from SC community said it's required to have 32gb + 4gb swap or 24gb + 12gb swap

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:14 PM

not how that will work but you can try

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:15 PM

24GB + 12GB zram is still 24GB ram its just that 12GB of it will be compressed

HHikariKnight `/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf` <-- edit and reboot at your own risk however ...

TilicanOP•5/10/24, 2:15 PM

hoo /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf is not in read only

i try to update /usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf/usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:15 PM

/usr/usr is read only

HHikariKnight 24GB + 12GB zram is still 24GB ram its just that 12GB of it will be compressed

TilicanOP•5/10/24, 2:15 PM

in that case Star Citizen works xD Don't know why but it works

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:15 PM

/etc

/etc

aka configs are not

cutiebella_pillow•5/10/24, 2:15 PM

Ok so I think i will need some help to locate why is hhd running twice, as i am trying seemingly everything and nothing is working

TTilican in that case Star Citizen works xD Don't know why but it works

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:15 PM

zram does not work the same way as normal swap/pagefiles

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:16 PM

swap/pagefile places unused ram that is still occassionally needed onto your disk (so it becomes slower to access if you need that ram)
some ancient methods to check how much ram you have will report total ram as ram+swap

TilicanOP•5/10/24, 2:17 PM

https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/lug-helper it come from this Star Citizen helper

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:17 PM

zram will compress the the unneeded ram in memory, effectively letting you squeeze out some more memory but thats it

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:18 PM

you still get the compression overhead

HikariKnight•5/10/24, 2:19 PM

as i said you can try but i cannot guarantee it will work

TilicanOP•5/10/24, 2:21 PM

i try it right now and it works ^^

TilicanOP•5/10/24, 2:21 PM

thx @HikariKnight

Ccutiebella_pillow Ok so I think i will need some help to locate why is hhd running twice, as i am ...

Zeglius•5/10/24, 2:22 PM

maybe one is running as root and the other as normal user? I heard there is a lot of issues like that if you created a root account at installation

cutiebella_pillow•5/10/24, 2:23 PM

Nope, no root account

Kyle Gospo•5/10/24, 2:23 PM

systemctl status | grep hhdsystemctl status | grep hhd

cutiebella_pillow•5/10/24, 2:25 PM

message.txt2.45KB

antheas•5/10/24, 2:25 PM

sudo systemctl disable --now hhd@sddm

sudo systemctl disable --now hhd@sddm

antheas•5/10/24, 2:25 PM

also

Aantheas `sudo systemctl disable --now hhd@sddm`

Kyle Gospo•5/10/24, 2:26 PM

this is fixed now fyi

antheas•5/10/24, 2:26 PM

the hw enablement script needs to start checking for uid < 1000 and stopping for all of them

Kyle Gospo•5/10/24, 2:26 PM

though I have no idea how this was happening

KKyle Gospo this is fixed now fyi

antheas•5/10/24, 2:26 PM

for new instals

antheas•5/10/24, 2:26 PM

you need to backport the fix by making the enablement script stop all the services which are not hhd@$(whoami)

cutiebella_pillow•5/10/24, 2:26 PM

Mine's been running since february, so i assume some issues are cropping from that

antheas•5/10/24, 3:01 PM

sux that rpm-ostree updates the initramfs always

antheas•5/10/24, 3:01 PM

when building

antheas•5/10/24, 3:01 PM

means updates are 300mb

ZZeglius @Сэкторфайв try `rpm -qa | grep -i lact`. Maybe the package is named something ...

sectorfive•5/10/24, 3:18 PM

It shows only this. However I do see lact in the app menu and it works when I open it so idk what its package name is..

Sectorfive@fedora:~$ rpm -qa | grep -i lact
lact-libadwaita-0.5.4-0.x86_64

Sectorfive@fedora:~$ rpm -qa | grep -i lact
lact-libadwaita-0.5.4-0.x86_64

sectorfive•5/10/24, 3:18 PM

And the way I got lact was from Bazzite Portal selection

sectorfive•5/10/24, 3:18 PM

so Ig I could try deselecting it there, it might auto remove

Valerie•5/10/24, 3:19 PM

How do I use the virtual keyboard on KDE

Ssectorfive so Ig I could try deselecting it there, it might auto remove

Zeglius•5/10/24, 3:20 PM

i think that only installs it and, if not checked, ignores it. Could be wrong, so give a try
