need help automating GSK_RENDERER=gl to run when opening minecraft

[edgy matrix]

Im on fedora workstation

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=TLauncher
GenericName=TLauncher
Comment=TLauncher
Icon=/home/l_l/GOG Games/Terraria/support/icon2.png
Exec=java -jar TLauncher.jar
Categories=Game;
Path=/home/l_l

this is my minecraft.dekstop file rn

[prisma hawk]

tlauncher

[edgy matrix]

:)

[prisma hawk]

You'll need to create a new script
Call it something like minecraft.sh

Place it somewhere and take note of that

Add the commands you ran earlier in it

[edgy matrix]

done

[prisma hawk]

And add java -jar path/to/TLauncher.jar
I don't know the exact path so you'll have to search for it

[edgy matrix]

its in /home

[prisma hawk]

Then replace the exec line in the desktop entry with exec=/home/your_user_name/minecraft.sh

And test it

Its /home/l_l
I read?

[edgy matrix]

yeah

dont i need java-jar TLauncher.jar to be a exec?

[prisma hawk]

Nope you add that to the script

[edgy matrix]

2 exec at once?

[prisma hawk]

And it's not tlauncher anymore, it's the full path to that jar

[prisma hawk]

No no, just place that in the script and only one exec

[edgy matrix]

its ist home so java-jar TLauncher.jar works

[prisma hawk]

Without the exec ofc

[prisma hawk]

The jar is in your home?

[edgy matrix]

yeah

both jar and the .sh file

[prisma hawk]

Do you have TLauncher.jar as a file in /home/l_l ?

[prisma hawk]

Oh then you add
java -jar /home/l_l/TLauncher.jar to the end of minecraft.sh

[edgy matrix]

in the same exec line? how to seperate them? with a space?

[prisma hawk]

To the "end of the minecraft.sh file, inside of it"

[prisma hawk]

And just keep the first part in the exec

[prisma hawk]

Yep, remove exec=

[prisma hawk]

Yeah, give it a chmod +x and try to run it

[prisma hawk]

chmod +x ~/minecraft.sh
Run that in a terminal

[edgy matrix]

ok t launcher opend

i mean minecraft*

[prisma hawk]

Nice that's it

[prisma hawk]

[edgy matrix]

100% no piracy

leme restart and test it again to see if it works

[edgy matrix]

still 15fps

leme manually do that cmd and try again

[prisma hawk]

You might to need to change that to
export GSK_RENDERER=gl

[edgy matrix]

i have to exec that cmd in terminal?

[prisma hawk]

Replace the line in the Minecraft script

_or just append export to the beginning _

Ah btw
Before doing that

Can you run echo $GSK_RENDERER

And tell me what it says

[edgy matrix]

this works?

it says ngl

[prisma hawk]

You can but you don't wanna do that for all applications since using vulkan for other apps is better

[prisma hawk]

Did you run the commands manually?

[edgy matrix]

oh wait sorry i forgot to use dedicated gpu when opening this time

[prisma hawk]

Oh

[edgy matrix]

forgot i had to manually do that

[prisma hawk]

Btw it says ngl but the script only sets it to gl
Did you by any chance run the GSK command manually without using the script?

[edgy matrix]

works now

[edgy matrix]

yes i ran the gsk command manually

after i was getting 20fps

[prisma hawk]

Restart :3
And try again

[edgy matrix]

yeah i used the ngl command too after using the gl one

[prisma hawk]

Restart since you won't know if the script did it's thing

ah you could also just log out and back in

[edgy matrix]

i think i broke my laptops 3rd charger <3 , i just restarted leme open it

[prisma hawk]

Mkk

[edgy matrix]

Exec=/home/l_l/minecraft.sh

[prisma hawk]

?

[edgy matrix]

nothing, i just thought minecraft wassent appearing in the menu but it was there

[prisma hawk]

Ah

[edgy matrix]

i had Exec=exec= set in the .dekstop so maybye thats why it didint work

[prisma hawk]

Owh yeah that's why

[edgy matrix]

opennd with igpu again, reopning with dedicated

[prisma hawk]

:3

[edgy matrix]

9fps :D

[prisma hawk]

9?

[edgy matrix]

yeah

[prisma hawk]

then...

[edgy matrix]

i dont think its setting the thing unless i do it manually

leme check again now that i set it manually

[prisma hawk]

Change the first line to only:
GSK_RENDERER=ngl

[edgy matrix]

wait let me check gl if it has bad performence il check ngl then change line

[prisma hawk]

Don't run the GSK command manually :3

[edgy matrix]

just checking if GL fixes performnces or ngl

[prisma hawk]

I see
It's probably the export shouldn't have been added

[prisma hawk]

Try running this then quitting and checking the output of echo
It should now say ngl
If it doesn't then the variable isn't getting set correctly

[edgy matrix]

i was getting around 60

then laptop shutted down randomly

laptops tweaking fr, went from 21 to 32 to 42% battery

[prisma hawk]

Ah...
Let's set it to ngl and hope that never happens again :3

[prisma hawk]

Charger issue I assume

[edgy matrix]

this is the 3rd charger iv bought

this is fine?

[prisma hawk]

Yep

[prisma hawk]

Run the game, it's okay if you quit immediately then check the output of echo

[prisma hawk]

You don't need to change this anymore

[edgy matrix]

my laptops so fucked omg, broken from 4 places has a random hole in it hinge protector is broken thers a white spot in the corner of the display lmao

and its 6 year old and the thermal paste is probably gone by now

[prisma hawk]

:'3

[edgy matrix]

opening mc

i dont think its registering

[prisma hawk]

Ah.. one sec

[edgy matrix]

9fps

my dream of sleeping before 1am will always remain a dream

wait, if other stuff works fine with ngl il just do this

uh @prisma hawk thanks for the help so far but i dont think i need anymore help

il just resort to usinng the cmd manually everytime

[prisma hawk]

We can try one more thing

[edgy matrix]

i would have to restart everytime i finish playing mc anyways

[edgy matrix]

yes?

[prisma hawk]

What text editor are you using?

[edgy matrix]

the one that comes with fedora

[prisma hawk]

You know how to use nano?

[edgy matrix]

neko lets stop, i would be fine with manually using it too

[edgy matrix]

a bit,yeah

[prisma hawk]

It's ok 5 mins

[prisma hawk]

Run
sudo nano /etc/environment

What does it contain?

[edgy matrix]

oh setting it there?

[prisma hawk]

Yep

[edgy matrix]

coudent i do it with text editor there

[prisma hawk]

You'll need to sudo it

[edgy matrix]

other apps dont work so great with ngl

so i cant really set it to be at ngl since the moment i boot

[prisma hawk]

Just type the GSR command inside here same way it's in the script at the moment
Then ctrl+s to save and then ctrl+x to exit

[prisma hawk]

Ah... True....

[edgy matrix]

sorry for wasting so much of ur time

its 1am i havent slept sinec 3 days properly

every night im fixing some issue in linux

[prisma hawk]

If you wanna continue tomorrow I don't mind
You can use the export command but in a different way, I'll walk you through it tomorrow

[edgy matrix]

alright, thanks

im gonna go sleep now

[prisma hawk]

Okk good night

Leaving this for you when you wake up

In your minecraft.sh script run write this

#!/bin/bash

export GSK_RENDERER=ngl
echo "The current rendering backend is set to:"
echo $GSK_RENDERER
java -jar /home/l_l/TLauncher.jar

This will only export the variable in the script
So you won't be able to see it with echo

But to test it open a terminal and run the minecraft script manually just for test's sake using ./minecraft.sh it should show in the terminal that it's using ngl
Minecraft then will be using ngl
So after you make sure it's doing it correctly you can start it normally

[edgy matrix]

hi im back i didint sleep but seems like other games are also lagging now,im fed up with fedora

im gonna change back to mint

and see the screen tearing fix stunner posted

or i will move full time to windows, i cant be staying u ptill 3am everyday fixing issues only

[prisma hawk]

Alrighty then wish you luck
