remotePlay.openFirewall = true;
gamescopeSession.enable = true;
};

Try to start it from the console

Additional context

Steam was running just fine before I moved to hyprland from KDE. Now that I have moved (2 days ago), I noticed Steam won't start.

CC @Atemu @k900 @mkg20001 I guess we forgot to update the package maintainer since a while :sweat_smile:

Also should we have some NixOS/steam team?

mkg20001 commented 3 months ago

We already have lib.teams.steam, but it's not set as the package maintainer. This could be changed.

eclairevoyant commented 3 months ago

We already have lib.teams.steam

True, I also meant a github team so that we can be tagged at once, rather than needing the individual tags. I don't think we have that yet.

I've encountered the same issue on a new device today. It seems to be a problem with the graphics driver. Actually adding the amdgpu kernel module fixed my problems:

hardware.amdgpu.initrd.enable = true;

I encountered the same error and found a solution that worked for me. Restarting the PipeWire systemd service resolved the issue, although this is a temporary fix since the problem recurs after a reboot. You can restart the service by running the following command as a normal user:

systemctl --user restart pipewire

NixOS / nixpkgs
