Getting sweethome3d from another nixpkgs revision doesn’t help, it appears something changed on my system that causes the problem.
I have not fully bisected this yet, but it seems it started failing between ae6bdcc53584aaf20211ce1814bea97ece08a248 and 39247f8d04c04b3ee629a1f85aeedd582bf41cac. A notable change is the update from MESA 19.3.3 to 20.0.2.
You can use hardware.opengl.package (internal option) to override the Mesa version for /run/opengl-driver/lib without having to rebuild almost all packages. I lost my snippet but from looking at the module something like this should work (disclaimer: didn’t test it :o):
hardware.opengl.package = pkgs.buildEnv {
name = "mesa-drivers+txc-${pkgs.mesa2.version}";
paths = [
pkgs.mesa2.drivers
(if hardware.opengl.s3tcSupport then pkgs.libtxc_dxtn else pkgs.libtxc_dxtn_s2tc)
];
};
And then add mesa2 to pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix. You can test if this broke due to the Mesa update by checking out version 19.3.3 and moving it to another path or worktree (and use that as mesa2). If it’s due to Mesa you could also test if 20.0.4 fixes it.
I looked into this some more, and also got sweethome3d to work with 20.0.4 by using the other startup script shipped with sweethome3d.
I haven’t had the time to properly package that up, though. I’m not sure if this is a system-dependent problem, so I’m not sure if it’s OK to switch to the other startup script for all sweethome3d users or that it should be an option.
For what it’s worth, and even though I don’t understand all this driver and opengl matter, I managed to get sweethome3d working by setting the environment variable: MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1
First executing export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1 and then sweethome3d indeed works, thanks. But then, I suffer from the problem that all items of the menu bar are not visible. I am not sure if this behavior is caused by the same problem. Does it work for you guys?
Unfortunately not. But I went through my configuration.nix file and found the activated picom compositor. Deactivating this solved the problem with the empty menus. I actually do not remember why I put the compositor in my settings, so now hopefully everything is fine. Thanks for your fast reply.
