Neovide: Neovide will not run on NixOS

Created on 26 Jun 2021  路  2Comments  路  Source: Kethku/neovide

Describe the bug
I have installed Neovide through nixpkgs, and when I try to start it, it gives me this error:

Ignored client type property: "methods"
Ignored client type property: "attributes"
MESA-INTEL: warning: Performance support disabled, consider sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0

thread 'main' panicked at 'Could not create surface', src/renderer/rendered_window.rs:40:6
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. nix-env -iA nixos.neovide
  2. neovide

Expected behavior
Neovide begins running and opens a window.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: NixOS unstable
  • Neovide Version: 0.7.0
  • Neovim Version: 0.5.0

Additional context
I have seen lots of people mentioning similar scenarios to this all over, and I was wondering if this issue varies case-by-case or if there had been any progress made on getting Neovide to work on nixos.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/127506 will fix the current issue.

if you think it's a nixos issue, you should report it there. I've just merged a neovide update in nixpkgs so you can try that instead, I know the recent neovide (~this week) fixed most of my issues, which were similar to what yo u faced. I think this can be closed.
