Apps loaded with MangoHud hang on start inside Distrobox containers

Unsure if this is a problem with Distrobox or what, but it used to work. Simply fails to render and stops responding with some high CPU usage. Something else I've noticed is that

/usr/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d/MangoHud.x86_64.json

/usr/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d/MangoHud.x86_64.json

/usr/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d/MangoHud.x86_64.json

/usr/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d/MangoHud.x86_64.json &

libMangoApp.x86_64.json

libMangoApp.x86_64.json

libMangoApp.x86_64.json

libMangoApp.x86_64.json from host are being mounted in the box? Can't seem to remove them. MangoHud is installed in there, as it needed to be back when it did work.

Could replicate it both in

ghcr.io/ublue-os/arch-distrobox:latest

Works fine on Bazzite 40, afraid this might be a Distrobox 1.8.0 issue.

do the flatpaks also fail?

CronoOP•10/28/24, 5:24 AM

Installing them now, but the Steam overlay will not work on Flatpaks at all currently afaik

CronoOP•10/28/24, 5:25 AM

On Distrobox there's at least a chance of it working

Going to open up an issue on the Distrobox repo, seems to affect everything

Found a workaround by doing sudo umountsudo umount for the affected files inside the container, basically for every file named MangoHud or libMangoApp under /usr/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d//usr/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d/. Then I was able to run a sudo pacman -S --overwrite "*" mangohudsudo pacman -S --overwrite "*" mangohud, which installed and now works just fine.

Unfortunately this is only a temporary workaround, if the container is restarted, the behavior will resume.
