Add GNOME 44/43 support

[daemon-byte]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to enable 3dof for viture when connected to a linux gnome computer? If not is it in the roadmap?

[wheaney]

That's exactly the intent of Breezy GNOME: to create a GNOME desktop view with 3DoF. Unless you mean something else when you say enable 3dof.

[daemon-byte]

It's intent or working functionality? I know this is an early project so I don't want to go on a goose chase for missing functions and I'm happy to wait and test. Right now though I didn't see a difference between before and after breezy. Except for a small ui called breezy desktop is now available where none of the options are interactive.

[wheaney]

Working functionality. But it won't do anything if the "XR Effect" switch is off in the application you found. Is that switch disabled? Or it switches and then switches back off when you click it? Can you send me a screenshot if it's fully disabled?

[daemon-byte]

ok so that's the issue. Yes the switch is off and when I turn it on then it goes back to off again.

[wheaney]

Can you attach your logs in ~/.local/state/breezy_gnome/logs/gjs, the driver log at ~/.xreal_driver_log, and the output of journalctl --grep breezy.

[daemon-byte]

there was no gjs journal.log xreal_driver.log

[daemon-byte]

I got a bit distracted but I noticed this today. I have gnome 43.9 and wayland so guess that's where my problem lies

[wheaney]

Ah, ok. GNOME 44/43 support is on my roadmap, one of my next items actually. I'll leave this open just so you can track that work.

[wheaney]

@daemon-byte I've got an initial backport working with GNOME 43.9 in nested mode. Can you try it out?

1. Download the setup script
2. Set the execute flag on the script: chmod +x ~/Downloads/breezy_gnome_setup
3. Run it with the tag for this version: ~/Downloads/breezy_gnome_setup --tag gnome-44-max-alpha-2

[daemon-byte]

The extension now turns on and I can toggle all the options. However, they don't seem to do anything. Any change I made does nothing. The screen doesn't fix, distance and size, widescreen, curved etc.

Ah, I should have you enable debug logging: dconf write /com/xronlinux/BreezyDesktop/debug true

Try again and post your logs.

[daemon-byte]

I am not sure it matters now. I installed the tool and restarted my laptop. I was then able to open breezy and turn on the options but it did nothing. I then shutdown because it's late here. But since I saw your email I rebooted to try with the logs and this time it worked. I don't know if it's because I restarted breezy after having turned it on or if booting up with the glasses already plugged in did it but it works now. Everything but widescreen but I suspect that might be my glasses. When I turn that on it goes all double images and toggling it off doesn't fix it. I have to toggle it off and then unplug and replug the glasses. Otherwise, it works and works well. Thanks for all the support and I will happily keep testing it.

[wheaney]

Are you glasses plugged directly into your computer, or through an adapter? Can you take a photo of what you see in the glasses when you do widescreen?

[daemon-byte]

So I tried to screenshot the issue but the screenshot was of a big desktop, exactly as it should be. I don't know how I can show you what I see since I can only put the camera on 1 screen at a time. It seems though it's random. Sometimes it worked exactly as it should and sometimes it messed up. No obvious reason for it. The only thing that definitely happens every time is if you have widescreen toggled on, unplug and replug the toggle stays on but the widescreen isn't. You have to toggle it off and on again.

If there's a way I can show you the glasses I'm happy to learn. Also if you still want those logs I can turn them on. Either way it will have to wait for tomorrow as I need some sleep :)

[wheaney]

Oh, so both eyes are seeing the screen as they should, but they're not "lined up" exactly, making it appear doubled? Or is the issue that the extension isn't rendering two/stereo images, it's just rendering one image and splitting it between the two?

What do you have your display distance set to?

[daemon-byte]

That's what I think is happening yes. If I have a window open I can see it on the right and a shadow of the window on the left. And the whole thing is thus very blurry.

I have size and distance both set to 1. I tailed the 2 log files while I enabled widescreen and it went weird

Alright, I see what happened. You enabled the widescreen toggle, it sent a request to the driver, the driver asked the glasses to change but it failed:

Error setting requested SBS mode

The extension doesn't double-check that the requested state change never happened, so it would continue with widescreen/sbs mode. I will add a check that makes sure the change actually happened, and if not it toggles the widescreen switch back to off.

But that doesn't explain what you saw. If widescreen mode was on but your glasses were no in SBS mode, you'd see two screens in each eye (a total of 4 screens if you saw the whole image). What your describing sounds like the opposite: the glasses switched to SBS mode but the extension thought it was off, so the extension is displaying 1 screen that's being cut in half to display to two lenses.

[daemon-byte]

If there's something I can do to help figure out which it is?

[wheaney]

Does that same thing happen every time you try to enable widescreen? Can you verify whether you're on the latest firmware? Last thing I'd have you check is switching to SBS mode via the glasses, to do that, long-press the small/mode button. The extension is built to detect when the sbs mode state changes on the glasses and handle it just the same as if you had toggled it in the settings, except in your case it should actually be in SBS mode so I'm curious if it will work.

[wheaney]

@daemon-byte See above.

[daemon-byte]

So if I push and hold the button widescreen comes on. Pushing and holding again doesn't seem to turn it off though. But it does turn on just fine. Unlike using the trigger. When I did the trigger it went wrong again and then at that point holding the button just fixes it back to a regular display as if I didn't have breezy on at all. Then holding it again turns it to 2 duplicate screens side by side.

Then I checked the firmware and apparently there was a new one 2 days ago so I installed that which proved to be a bad idea. Now breezy claims to be working but it doesn't and when I push and hold the button the screen turns into a coloured barcode like a smashed screen. Not really surprised from a company that does a browser update but doesn't support linux or does a web design which breaks the page if the url doesn't have a trailing / :D I'll keep poking and see if I can get it back to where it was

[wheaney]

Oh shoot, I hope that firmware issue is something that can be reversed. Which VITURE model are you using?

So if I'm understanding correctly, widescreen worked when it was triggered through the glasses? But interactions with the toggle switch remained broken?

[daemon-byte]

After retriggering a firmware update many times I eventually got it to downgrade 1 and upgrade again.

That was the way it was working. I don't know if the upgrade has changed anything or if it's just randomness at play. Now both the button and toggle seem to fail and they fail consistently at the moment.

It's the viture pro xr.

[daemon-byte]

Definitely random. It worked with the toggle and broke again with the button

[wheaney]

Unfortunately, this seems more like an issue with the hardware. Are you using an adapter or plugged right into USB-C?

[daemon-byte]

I figured it might be. Working sometimes is enough for now. It seems the glasses are getting a lot of firmware updates so I guess they rushed it out. It's plugged directly into the laptop.

[wheaney]

Closing this out since the gnome-44-max release is available.
