chimeraos / steamos-compositor-plus Goto Github PK

I've noticed that when I play media content encoded with 24fps, e.g. most movies and modern TV shows, there is a slight irregular stutter every couple of seconds. Most noticeable during camera pans. I definitely didn't have this on a pure Ubuntu + Kodi install.

I've noticed that if I use steambuddy to toggle the compositor, then the problem goes away and playback is pretty much perfect as far as I can tell.

Is there a way to edit the launch command for kodi so that the compositor gets turned off when launching kodi, and turned back on when exiting kodi?

Has anyone else experienced this?

I am advised to add the option subdir-objects to the configure.ac with autoreconf version 2.69. See https://autotools.io/automake/options.html

With that option added, autoreconf is working fine. Can we add it to configure.ac or is my local setup misconfigured?

Im trying to start the session from nvidia-xrun xinit file to be able to start steamos under my nvidia GPU.

Im not sure what to exec.. Can you guide me?

I currently do not see a way to exit to Login manager (terminate the X session) option. The only two options I have are to log out, which logs me out of steam; and turn off the computer. Currently, i switch to tty2, log in to my user and issue killall steamos-compositor.

Is there a way to add the option akin to 'Exit to desktop' like SteamOS has; an exit to gnome. (In this case, just shutdown the steam process, which in turn would terminate the xsession, and go back into the login manager)

I am using SDDM if it makes any difference.

I was wondering, is there a easy GUI way, to mount network Shares?

e.g. I have a large collection of roms on my NAS. If I could, I would rather mount them than have to copy roms onto Gamer OS.

Allthough I suppose since the way it currently works, is to have a steam shortcut per game, to be able to launch it all from steam os big picture UI. I guess that would rather require the user to individually configure emulated games.

After installing Steamos-compositor-plus from the AUR Repository, i get alwys a Blackscreen if i'm trying to start SteamOS from the Window Manager..

• run Steam with mangohud if available
• hide hud on startup
• change hotkey to F3 in order to avoid conflict with Steam screenshot hotkey

manjaro

after following the readme i rebooted and selected the steamos option at lightdm (which may have been too soon since the config wasn't yet created?) - the system rebooted - after coming back up, i again selected steamos at lightdm and steamos loaded with a (cool looking) image background and a message that steam was verifying files, after which the system rebooted - the 3rd reboot went exactly as the first

Thanks for your SteamOS-Compositor support.

I have a question:
Is there anything that can be done to prevent steam in-home streaming from becoming a stuttering fest when streaming from a SteamOS host?

When I use the desktop client with Ubuntu, in-home streaming performances are awesome, but, if possible, I would like to build a "SteamOS server" for my Nvidia Shield.

Thanks again.

Basically gamescope is a Vulkan + Wayland compositor being worked on by @Plagman.

desktop@steamos:~$ sudo sh steamos-install.sh
steamos-install.sh: 7: steamos-install.sh: function: not found

Is their a way to disable all windows app going fullscreen, the scaling of some apps looks really terrible, the games with launcher like origins uplay and shortcuts from epic games.

When I installed it the first time it worked, but it created another steam with Debian folder and all my games were missing, I tried to fix it now I'm getting a black screen on my steam os after I logged in.

Is it possible to set/move set_hd_mode.log to something that isn't the home directory

Would suggest something under XDG_CACHE_HOME (~/.config/steam-os-compositor-plus/set_hd_mode.log ?)

is it possible to install on fedora?

Using endeavour os with lightdm and steamos-compositor-plus.

Steam is running the latest beta to fix #54

Option to enable proton for all games is disabled. Only happens with games running with proton.

Not that it's important but maybe update the latest release version on github page to 1.7.1?

Right now set_hd_mode.sh will automatically select the 4k resolution if it is available. It would be nice if we could specify this feature using a command-line argument to force a particular resolution.

For some context, I have been experimenting with Steam Link Anywhere to stream Steam games over the internet. Streaming at 4k resolution makes it much more prone to network bandwidth/latency.

When pressing shift-tab, and when notifications such as friends starting games appear, they're only a white box, with no text or visible content.

Bluetooth works fine on startup, my controller connects fine.
When starting lightdm, the controller is still connected.
When starting the steamos-session the bluetooth controller turns off and doesn't turn on again.

Sending power on on bluetoothctl powers on the receiver for a split second and then turns it off immediately.

In systemctl status bluetooth I can see this error when trying to wake it up again:

src/adv_monitor.c:btd_adv_monitor_power_down() Unexpected NULL btd_adv_monitor_manager object upon power down

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth fixes this issue but I need to run it via ssh or another tty every time I launch steamos-session.

When running The Elder Scrolls Online using Proton, three windows are created after launch:

• The game launcher
• The game launcher system tray icon
• The game window itself

After getting past the launcher, the game launches normally, but will constantly switch back and forth between the game launcher and the game itself. One workaround I've used is to manually kill the launcher process from the command line.

We might want to consider focusing the largest window or the most newly created window. This issue may also effect other games that use launchers that run in the background.

I've been trying to change the refresh rate of my monitor at 4k. Currently it doesnt change when I make changes to the compositor config file. I've tried to change resolution as well to no avail. Anything I may be missing?

Are you planning a 'gamescope-plus'?

This is on SteamOS Brewmaster 2.0

The starting script hangs at the "bluetoothctl power on" command (line 23).
Not sure if the command should behave in a certain way and let the script to continue or is just a typo.
In any case, an "&" after the respective line allows the script to continue and steamos session to start.

I using a notebook with compromised screen I can run the system open the big picture but it not displaying on the external monitor , the bios are configured to use the external vga as main monitor.

I tried the answers (change grub etc.. ) I did not found any of this to change.

Someone find a way to change it?

thanks

I've added a game that launches directly in full screen as a non-steam game, after hitting play it stays locked to preparing the game and doesn't show anything

I don't know how to debug the issue to see if it doesn't start at all or if it doesn't go to the foreground

Also I can't use gamescope or ChimeraOS as I have a GTX 760 and it isn't supported by both

i tried
export LD_PRELOAD="" gamescope -U -f -h 2160 -r 60
export gamescope -U -f -h 2160 -r 60
export gamescope=-U -f -h 2160 -r 60

none of those work in steamos-session, any tips on how to get it running on steamos compositor plus?

When you open a game with a launcher, a tiny window stretches to fill the entire screen. is there a way to fix this? For example, so that the windows do not stretch and remain in the center, while the compositor tries to resize the window to native resolution.
