HikariKnight•6/30/24, 4:53 AM

it seems kerbal space program decided to launch on integrated graphics. How to do I make it run on dedicated? Steam setting?

cave monster•6/30/24, 5:16 AM

Or do I always have to launch from apps with 'launch with discrete graphics' - edit: doesn't work either

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:19 AM

try use the launch option switcherooctl launch %command%switcherooctl launch %command%

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:20 AM

it should be automatic since steam askds for the discrete graphics (option doesnt work actually but we patched switcheroo to work when it is requested by the

.desktop

.desktop

file for an application and the option is then inherited by anything launched by the application)

cave monster•6/30/24, 5:21 AM

hmm, probably not a good sign

cave monster•6/30/24, 5:22 AM

switcheroo doesn't call it discrete, and calls it unknown

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:23 AM

still try the launch option i mentioned

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:23 AM

but it might be the reason why it doesnt work

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:24 AM

you can force the gpu though

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:24 AM

switcheroo launch --gpu=1 bazzite-steamswitcheroo launch --gpu=1 bazzite-steam

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:24 AM

make sure steam is not already running

cave monster•6/30/24, 5:28 AM

Steam definitely launched on dedicated graphics, and so did kerbal. Great news. I assume this is normally the default behaviour and something odd is happening for me?

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:29 AM

yeah so steam has a setting in its

.desktop

.desktop

file that requests the "other" gpu. but it doesnt work properly in switcheroo (the system that handles swithcing gpus)

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

so we have a patched switcheroo where the behavior is fixed

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

We ship a patched switcheroo, so what should be happening is your card is determined to be discreet and then selected as the default for things that request it like Steam

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

For some reason though, as you pointed out, yours is unknown and not properly marked

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

So that may be a bug in switcheroo?

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

yep what kyle said

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

The card is obscure so that may be a reason

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:31 AM

@cave monster can you do lspci -nn | grep -P "(VGA compatible|3D) controller"lspci -nn | grep -P "(VGA compatible|3D) controller"

HHikariKnight @cave monster can you do `lspci -nn | grep -P "(VGA compatible|3D) controller"`

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:32 AM

quadro and 3d controller

cave monster•6/30/24, 5:32 AM

yeah, it's a bit obscure. This is a Lenovo P51, with a Xeon/ECC RAM and quadro

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:32 AM

so not detected as vga controller

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:32 AM

might be why

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:32 AM

only thing that stands out but cant say for sure

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:33 AM

The good news is you have the environment variables right there, so you can just copy those into a Steam desktop file

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:33 AM

And skip the whole switcheroo thing

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:33 AM

This may be something that needs to be patched in switcheroo, but given the nature of Quadro as less of a gaming card that might not happen

cave monster•6/30/24, 5:33 AM

What does switcheroo use as its source of info on a particular card?

I'll definitely do that to make it work right for now. I don't know how easy it is to upstream the fix

solidworks is my favourite video game, what do you mean?

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:34 AM

Maya is a way better game tho

thats a software name i havent heard in 2 centuries

Is there any way to tell for sure that a system update is happening? Noticing a bunch of network and disk usage with no easy way to tell which processes are using bandwidth or why my SSD is reading at 100% speed, except that baloo_file_extractor run by systemd is going full tilt on something

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:40 AM

steady download of ~2mbps in the background is fine if I know what's doing it, but if I don't I start getting paranoid
