OK, there’s definitely a communication issue here. Rather than arguing with each other could you point me specifically to what you’re talking about with this comment?
no, steam is the symptom because it only happens in steam and steam games. changing the permissions on /dev/hidraw0 fixes that, but that device is destroyed after each session and recreated on new sessions, so manually assigning a group isnt viable.
No, steam accesses the controller differently then say retroarch does. To demonstrate this, if I connect to a session and chown hidraw0 (the device that steam grabs onto) to group input, which the user is in, it’s fine. It works perfectly. Left alone, not all options are exposed in steam and many buttons are improperly assigned.
I’ve asked but not been answered. You said in the other thread sunshine is the problem, not my Linux setup, but actually working with the developer earlier on this we found it is the host that’s the issue, we just dont have a clean solution to setting that hidraw0 permission. The devs literally demonstrated the problem. I was able to confirm their hypothesis. hidraw devices are set as root. They need permissions altered.
As for your “use something else” suggestion, care to suggest something else to use?
Sway is in the fedora repo, not external. It’s stable and supports zero copy off the dGPU. Do you have an alternative to sway I should consider?
Sunshine was chosen over gamesonwhales because the security model is more practical for a server left running all the time. Gamesonwhales needs coarser permissions that aren’t great for a constantly running server doing other things unattended. Do you have an alternative for these I should consider?
Fedora…well, I’m forcing myself to learn this fucking distro so it’s a self-inflicted wound here.
Simply saying “sunshine is the problem” isn’t helpful. It doesn’t solve anything. It doesn’t diagnose anything. It doesn’t get anyone closer to answer.
Most of the issues are gone. It’s not a top tier card but it’s not pretending to be. It’s a card for the rest of us. I got the B580 because of the media encoders and tons of VRAM for the dollar, giving me a lot to play with. I’m using it in fedora.
Be sure you upgrade the firmware with the battlemage cards. Fwupd added support for doing this but you need a fairly recent version to install the firmware updates. Bazzite currently can’t do it out of the box but you can live boot fedora and do it just fine. It fixes PCODE, mailbox and fan control issues and supposedly improves performance a little.
there is no DE. it's just headless sway. it works outside steam and steam games but steam stuff wont map correctly. manually setting the group for /dev/hidraw0 to :input fixes the issue temporarily, but its not connected directly to the host. So I need this rule to fire and put this device into the input group when it appears as it is appears within the sessions, not as a directly connected device.
User is already in the input group. But the device is root:root. When I manually set the group to input it works but the device disappears at the end of the session and is recreated when the clients connect in again
