VSO - Fuse installation being blocked by "mesa-vulkan-drivers" | Vanilla OS | Page 1

Hey there,

I am trying to install fuse through vso, however when installing, it asks to remove "mesa-vulkan-drivers". I read the git issue and it says its closed and I don't understand how to upgrade to the fixed version. My laptop has an intel integrated, and a gtx 1050ti dedicated. Prime utility is set to on-deman.

  fuse

  fuse3  libfuse3-3

Hm, this is indeed supposed to be fixed. Try running "abroot upgrade"

#

And if it upgrades reboot afterwards.

acoustic swift Mar 1, 2025, 10:47 PM

#

So a bit ago, I used the command that andrij mentioned and it seemed to fix it. It seemed to fix it. I haven't really used my laptop since so I will post an update later

acoustic swift Mar 7, 2025, 7:15 PM

#

I cannot seem to get my graphics card working through the flatpak of steam. I have flatseal and I have the graphics card enabled.

running abroot upgrade shows no upgrades needed, and running vso update is super slow to make any hits.

what image are you using tho

acoustic swift Mar 8, 2025, 3:19 PM

#

/nvidia

white coral Mar 8, 2025, 6:20 PM

#

acoustic swift /nvidia

maybe try nvidia-exp dev branch

wicked halo Mar 8, 2025, 6:24 PM

#

Note that the dev branch is really unstable and should only be used for testing.

white coral Mar 8, 2025, 7:05 PM

wicked halo Note that the dev branch is really unstable and should only be used for testing.

it’s been pretty stable for me

wicked halo Mar 8, 2025, 7:08 PM

#

white coral it’s been pretty stable for me

That doesn't mean anything.
Unstable means that we might at any point push an abroot version that will brick your system.
We try not to but it's definitely not guaranteed.

wouldn’t rollback work?

wicked halo Mar 8, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

white coral wouldn’t rollback work?

Depends on the bug but ABRoot can definitely completely brick your system which is why we heavily test it before releasing an update to the main branch.

if I built my custom image on top of unstable one, if I do abroot upgrade will it pull original image update, or I should rebuild my image first?

Could you rephrase that question. I'm not sure what you're asking.

white coral Mar 8, 2025, 8:00 PM

#

wicked halo Could you rephrase that question. I'm not sure what you're asking.

if you in theory pushed abroot update that will brick my system, but I use my own custom image. To get that bad update, should I rebuild my image first? Or it gets update from original image too?

wicked halo Mar 8, 2025, 8:12 PM

If you're using the official custom-image repo template then it will check for an upgrade every six hours and upgrade to it.
So you will get bad upgrades with a custom-image as well.

Should I do a full os reinstall?

wicked halo Mar 9, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

acoustic swift Should I do a full os reinstall?

You seem to be on the latest image so a reinstall is unlikely to change anything.
Maybe try to play around with the Prime utility. Maybe changing something there might help.

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 3:29 AM

#

I swapped it to dedicated gpu in the prime utility and still uses the intel 630. Any other things I should consider to try?

wicked halo Mar 9, 2025, 8:12 AM

#

No idea

white coral Mar 9, 2025, 8:12 AM

#

acoustic swift I swapped it to dedicated gpu in the prime utility and still uses the intel 630....

have you tried nvidia-exp dev?

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 8:35 AM

#

Would you be willing to refresh my memory on the command to swap over? I can't seem to remeber it.

#

abroot config-editor

white coral Mar 9, 2025, 9:01 AM

acoustic swift `abroot config-editor`

yes

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 9:12 AM

So the card is now being displayed in

cur-gpu
OpenGL version: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 25.0.1-2
OpenGL vendor: Intel
OpenGL renderer: Mesa Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (WHL GT2)

nrun cur-gpu
OpenGL version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 570.86.15
OpenGL vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2

However it seems like the steam flatpak is still not recognizing it, still producing the same error of Requires a graphics card that supports at least Direct3D feature level 12_0

I am able to play the game on ubuntu on my desktop which runs a 1070, so I'd assume they would be the same driver.

it's nvidia-exp, right?

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

correct!

white coral Mar 9, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

idk if it's gonna help but try enabling this in flatseal

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

Its currently on

white coral Mar 9, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

have you tried adding VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_0 %command% to launch options?

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 9:18 AM

#

I just added that, and I still get the same error

#

blender also doesn't recognize the graphics card. Is there maybe something in flatseal I can add to allow the graphics card to be use?

white coral Mar 9, 2025, 9:21 AM

#

maybe disable igpu in bios?

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 9:21 AM

#

I would, but kinda preffer not to do that. This laptop battery life is slim right now.

white coral Mar 9, 2025, 9:28 AM

#

either try -force-vulkan --use-d3d11 launch options or try with proton ge

#

I don't know anything else

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 10:13 AM

#

I'll give that a try here later and I'll post results. Thank you so much for taking your time to help me troubleshoot!

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

Im using ge, and it still seems to not be working with the -force-vulkan --use-d3d11. I don't understand whats going on lol

#

would it have something do to with running sudo umount -l -R $(mount | awk '{print $3}' | grep "^/usr/share/vulkan") prior since were unmounting it?

have you tried native steam, not flatpak?

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 11:05 AM

I haven't. Would I install that through vso or create a new container?

white coral Mar 9, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

acoustic swift I haven't. Would I install that through vso or create a new container?

idk to be honest

#

you can try from container first

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 11:14 AM

#

I have no idea, but there was an update to the flatpak and now I can run games. I know its potato, but now I just have to figure out why blender isn't seeing the card.

#

It all works now

#

I am super confused. I think the vso pico-init and a computer restart fixed it

#

PLEASE ignore ingame username LOL

wicked halo Mar 9, 2025, 1:30 PM

#

Ah yes, just Nvidia things.

acoustic swift Mar 9, 2025, 11:17 PM

#

Thank you @white coral and @wicked halo ! I really appreciate the help! So much happier now that I can actually do stuff again on my laptop!
