Ah, where can I install these drivers?
atomic coyote
nvidia drivers should be provided by your distro
follow steps that they recommend (dont download from nvidia website)
run "nvidia-smi" to verify they are working
if nvidia is working then problem is your igpu is being selected instead - disable igpu in bios if possible
wise tree
heres the output of that nvidia-smi

ah or maybe you have debian or other strange distro that seperates the nvenc from the drivers
you are using debian or fedora or something?
wise tree
bazzite
atomic coyote
fuck
wise tree
a branch off of fedora
atomic coyote
find whatever package has nvenc and install that
nvidia literally provides this with the drivers, but some geniuses decide to split it off
wise tree
found thishttps://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/749
atomic coyote
seems to be not a serious distro - no easy way to install video encoder
we were able to get people with fedora working by just installing nvenc - but with bazzite its not so easy
@civic dirge halp
even their special bazzite-nvidia version is missing nvenc from what i read
wise tree
grahh
atomic coyote
maybe there is way to fix this - but i just cant find it
wise tree
If there isnt a way to fix ill might need to distro hop 😭
atomic coyote
we can get you running with basically any distro, but stumped with bazzite+nvidia it seems
no nvenc means no anything that does video encoding, how did they miss that?

Hello @wise tree!
Instructions bellow are applicable only to Linux version of ALVR. Ignore this message on Windows ALVR.
If you're using ALVR 20.12.1 and higher, please check your ALVR Dashboard Logs tab whenever you try to launch SteamVR through it.
If you're also using ALVR 20.12.0 and lower, check this page for the information on how to fix this issue.

yeah i just did the udev thing and still nothing
those are logs
i see Force software decoder
not encoder tho
nvm found it
still black
atomic coyote
nvenc is not being blocked, bazzite just doesnt include it 🙂
