But if you have previously followed this guide, use the following to switch:

Cleanup

rm -rf ~/.fex-emu
rm ~/.local/bin/{asahi-krun-overlay-fex-rootfs,FEXBash,krun,krun-guest,steam}
rm ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop

@aqrln Check your /etc/resolv.conf inside the container / krun VM - should be able to fix DNS resolving by changing some of that...

I have been trying to get this working on my M1 pro tonight. Everything seems to have installed okay, but while running the steam process, the steam window repeatedly opens for about 10 seconds then closes again. No games that I have run so far have successfully launched. This behaviour has been the same on both KDE6 and Hyprland.

Here's the log for steam:

I have not experienced that, so no idea. Try to check some of the Steam logs in ~/.steam/root/logs

Also, I can't run any appimages.

AppImage is tricky even just in the Flatpak version of Steam. It uses FUSE which requires root or setuid on fusermount.

@iraizo @zimsneexh Can you let me know if setting ulimit -n 524288 in krun-guest fixes the problem? It's required for wine's esync to work anyway... But maybe the problem you're facing is unrelated...

@4kz Did you accidentally cut off the output? The part that you've shared only shows it's starting.

also for some reason I the desktop entry file doesn't show up in applications

Have you tried log out and log in again? Usually that's required.

Yeah, I'm having issues trying to log in (code 2e) even whilst disabling 2fa, and the desktop entry file still doesn't show in Gnome 46, I'll check logs tomorrow unless you already know of this sort of issue

@teohhanhui

@4kz Just to confirm, you're using my steam wrapper script, right?

It contains an important workaround to fix transparent Steam windows (and steamwebhelper crashing).

and the desktop entry file still doesn't show in Gnome 46

And you confirm that it's correctly saved as ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop? There's a desktop file cache but that's only for MIME types, AFAIK... But just in case, you could try running update-desktop-database -v ~/.local/share/applications

setting it to 2000 is already exceeding it

@iraizo Then you need to fix your environment.

I notice that Lina did a live stream of full tso support and wined3d fully working. Would this setup support that now or would you have to use https://github.com/slp/krun
In some way.

@Spidy123222 WineD3D is fully working, provided you allocate enough RAM to the VM. For now, that means building krun from this branch: https://github.com/teohhanhui/krun/tree/feat/balloon-more-ram

TSO support will not be coming anytime soon. We'll just have to wait for Lina to push those patches and/or for them to be built and released.

Alrighty. I’ll do that when I get a moment. Before in the original libkrunvm setup it wouldnt run wined3d well (broken sonic adventure 2). Will see how far I can get with it then on my m2 pro.

I probably would change the instructions to change the git branch to -b balloon-more-ram

Since it used 80% ram than just 4gib

@aqrln Did you find a solution to not having network access in the krun?

@teohhanhui

Author

@dylanchapell What's in your /etc/resolv.conf inside the krun VM?

@dylanchapell
Copy link

It was the same as the one normally on my machine, but now it is truncated to just the search field, with no change in functionality.

$ krun cat /etc/resolv.conf
<many errors>
search tailc594c.ts.net. dia.dnvr.

From a normal terminal:

nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0 trust-ad
search tailc594c.ts.net dia.dnvr

@teohhanhui

@dylanchapell Uhh... I thought you have no Internet access in krun VM. From what I could tell, that's most probably caused by problems with the DNS resolver.

Mine is like this in the krun VM:

; generated by /usr/sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 192.168.0.1

Which is bad, because that's my router's IP address...

I think this is why krunvm set nameserver 1.1.1.1 as the default:
https://github.com/containers/krunvm/blob/5494d84a66bee3b802a0392cf8d662158ac7287d/src/main.rs#L51

@teohhanhui Correct, I have no internet access in krun. How can I edit /etc/resolv.conf? I tried to do krun vi /etc/resolv.conf and change it to nameserver 1.1.1.1 but when I open it again it is reverted.

@teohhanhui

but when I open it again it is reverted

@dylanchapell You mean starting a new krun VM, right? /etc/resolv.conf inside the VM is actually a temporary file (/tmp/resolv.conf) that's truncated each time: https://github.com/slp/krun/blob/5a8542a5066bd1a4d8bad99236f05ea3ac687ef7/crates/krun-guest/src/mount.rs#L23

I guess as a temporary workaround, just echo 'nameserver 1.1.1.1' > /etc/resolv.conf once you enter the VM?

@dylanchapell
Copy link

@teohhanhui Does a new VM get started every time I run a command with krun? If so, how can I apply the workaround every time I run a command? I put that line and FEXRootFSFetcher into a shell script and ran that in krun but that still had the error occur.

@teohhanhui

@dylanchapell Put it in krun-guest. That's the part that gets run inside the VM.

@teohhanhui I seem to have an issue starting steam after doing all the instructions using FEX. I get messages like this and it never starts. I am kind of unsure where to go from here. Im on the Fex discord if it helps go by faster.

@Spidy123222 Please make sure you have your FEX RootFS set to use Fedora_40, not Fedora_40.sqsh. You can run krun FEXConfig and check in the Emulation tab.
