Help installing mangohud 0.7.2.

The mangohud included with Bazzite is 0.7.1, which doesn't work properly on my system with two GPUs (it always defaults to GPU0) instead of the one that's in use. The version that seems to run is

/usr/bin/mangohud

/usr/bin/mangohud

/usr/bin/mangohud

/usr/bin/mangohud and it's 0.7.1.

I've confirmed mangohud 0.7.2 fixes the issue, but I can't seem to install it due to the read-only file system.

rpm-ostree install mangohud --allow-inactive

rpm-ostree install mangohud --allow-inactive

rpm-ostree install mangohud --allow-inactive

rpm-ostree install mangohud --allow-inactive

Seems like it would work, and the repo references mangohud 0.7.2, but upon reboot,

mangohud --version

mangohud --version

mangohud --version

mangohud --version returns 0.7.1.

Rather than package layering, I'd love to override the gamescope config to just use a manual download of mangohud in my home directory, but I don't know how.

Any ideas on how to get mangohud updated on my bazzite system?

why not just make sure the latest version gets into bazzite stable?

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:47 AM

also putting it in ~/.local/bin~/.local/bin should make it so that is the version is used for your user

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:48 AM

you should mostly just be fine waiting for it to land in stable, there should be a new build once a week for stable. I think we went two weeks this last time but there was upstream issues killing even test builds for a bit

AAzema Viator also putting it in `~/.local/bin` should make it so that is the version is used ...

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:49 AM

brilliant idea. didn't know about ~/.local/bin~/.local/bin!

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:50 AM

but I copied 0.7.2. there and it's working!

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:50 AM

imo not the best idea, becuase you will forget about it and quesiton why you don't have 0.7.3 or whatever next release

AAzema Viator why not just make sure the latest version gets into bazzite stable?

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:50 AM

any suggestions on how to do this? open a github issue perhaps?

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:50 AM

just check to see if it in included in the test images I think

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:51 AM

oh, well, mangohud 0.7.2 is half year old, so I don't know if bazzite maintainers will update?

Ttacomilkshake but I copied 0.7.2. there and it's working!

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:52 AM

unfortunatly, ~/.local/bin/ doesn't seem to work in game. gamescope appears to still be launching /usr/bin/mangohud 0.7.1

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:52 AM

did you have to make the folder?

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:52 AM

by default the include to add that to your path only adds the path if it exist

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:52 AM

so you might need to relog

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:52 AM

I did not; was already there

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:53 AM

oh I think gamescope might hard link mongoapp but I could be wrong

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:53 AM

 which mangohud
~/.local/bin/mangohud

 which mangohud
~/.local/bin/mangohud

so it's in the path, it just seems the gamescope is likely using a hard path to /usr/bin/mangohud

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:54 AM

mangohud --version
v0.7.2

mangohud --version
v0.7.2

AAzema Viator oh I think gamescope might hard link mongoapp but I could be wrong

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:54 AM

aye. that was my thought as well.

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:54 AM

is the gamescope config somewhere that's editable?

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:54 AM

umm

Azema Viator•1/25/25, 12:55 AM

is it not all ENV/CLI

tacomilkshakeOP•1/25/25, 12:55 AM

ideally, of course, bazzite team would add newer mangohud to upcoming release, but I don't know how to ask haha
