Nixos unstable: steam install fail because of libidn2

cguenther · January 20, 2024, 6:23pm

Hi there,

i try to install steam using nixos. I am running the unstable nixos channel. My smallest reproducer is at the moment to install it in nix-shell. I get the same errors by enabling the steam program section.

exammple:

NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-shell -p steamcmd                                                                                                                      
these 7 derivations will be built:

I am totally out of clue how to debug there anything. When i try to install libidn2 independently, everything works fine. I just discover, that this uses another nix-store hash, than the one, thas is requested during the steam build. So i not really know how to specifically rebuild the problem with more debug info.

nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A libidn2

Which further information can i provide here, for necessary insights?

It’s likely the 32bit variant. Try pkgsi686Linux.libidn2.

Also, this should better be an issue on the Nixpkgs Github repo.

I believe I am getting hit by this too.

Please create an issue in the Nixpkgs issue tracker.

I think there is a relevant issue up

I think i got out of this hole yesterday. I believe there is some kind of conflict between boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems and steam versions. I found that disabling all registered extra systems and then REBOOTING (i thought i had done that but i had not) enabled both the steam flatpak and the steam nixos module to work again. My issue was manifesting as lots of issues building steam, running it, etc.
