MangoHud not detected all of a sudden [Solved]
I haven't messed with MangoHud recently, but Heroic doesn't detect it all of a sudden. Upon launching a game, it says:
Mangohud is enabled, but
mangohud executable could not be found on $PATH. Make sure to install Mangohud's flatpak package with runtime undefined and restart Heroic.
So, afaik Heroic needs the 23.08 runtime version of the Flatpak MangoHud which is what I have installed. I even checked the installation path of the Flatpak and the script + binary are still there (mangohud, mangoapp). I don't know what $PATH Heroic is referring to, though.6 Replies

install mangohud 25.08
heroic was updated today to use flatpak runtime 25.08

Oh, okay, thanks. But the message should then be updated and specified accordingly. Or Heroic didn't fetch the runtime number correctly for some reason.

yes, where it says
runtime undefined and it should say 25.08 instead of undefined
it's a known bugmetropolitan-bronzeOP•3w ago
Couldn't MangoHud 25.08 be specified as a dependency in the Heroic flatpak? Would it have been installed alongside the Heroic update, then? That would have been ideal.
Or maybe I'm mixing this up with a package manager and you would have to bundle it inside the flatpak. Either one would be more user-friendly.

not all users want to use mangohud, we can't make it a dependency (or users would complain about not making it a dependency to save space)
the safest option is to mention what to do when it's not found so the users that do want it can add it, and what we need to fix is the runtime version not showing up there so it's clear for the users which one they need

In bazzite at least I had to use the CLI to install that MangoHud 23.08, I don't recall whether Discover allows the installation of specific runtime versions. Discover has now been replaced with Bazaar on bazzite and MangoHud is not there - presumably unlisted by the maintainers. I don't mind using the CLI at this point, but the current situation may prove an obstacle for newer Linux users who'd like to use MangoHud out of the box.
