kitty-terminal doesn't work at home #1

Closed a-berg closed 2 years ago

a-berg commented 2 years ago

Laptop at work: no problem (has no graphics card or it's a motherboard one) PC at home: doesn't work (NVIDIA card)

It says:

[155 22:31:35.531189] Failed to set locale with no LANG

[155 22:31:35.603429] Failed to create GLFW temp window! This usually happens because of old/broken OpenGL drivers. kitty requires working OpenGL 3.3 drivers.

Wacky problem. You need to install nixGL, namely:

$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/guibou/nixGL/archive/main.tar.gz nixgl && nix-channel --update
$ nix-env -iA nixgl.auto.nixGLDefault   # or replace `nixGLDefault` with your desired wrapper

then run kitty like so:

nixGL kitty
