I have a laptop with AMD iGPU + AMD dGPU. By default MangoHud shows the stats of the iGPU. I use the pci_dev option in MangoHud config to show the stats of the dGPU.

When changing the configuration using GOverlay the config files get overwritten and I have to manually add the pci_dev option. It would be great if this option is added in GOverlay.

Hi, I'm new to Linux. When I try to install Lazarus or Goverlay I receive this error
partition / too full [...]
The capacity of the root partition is 5 GB, is there a way to clean some space or another workaround to install Goverlay properly?
Thanks

EDIT
I tried to install it with Yay

It looks like this, on any tabs:

System: NixOS using 22.05 channel, GNOME
Versions tested: 0.7.1 and 0.9 (same behaviour)

The available effects listed under the vkBasalt tab, as well as the corresponding scrollbar and add effect buttons, don't seem to interact at all with mouse clicks, rendering the entire vkBasalt settings unusable, as seen in the attached video.

[EDIT] goverlay --style fusion did NOT fix the issue.

Hello,

I was recently messing around with Goverlay, I changed the theme of the HUD from simple white to Old Afterburner because I was curious but now I can't see CPU/GPU temperatures on my mangohud. I can use the graphs & histograms but the numbers don't show up on the HUD. Tried installing & reinstalling off the AUR, using goverlay-git right now but it defaults back to VRAM, RAM, FPS, frame count, or most recently it's back to before I uninstalled. What should I do?

Hey guys! I installed GOverlay through Synaptic on Linux Mint 21 today, got the "can't get libdl.so" error, uninstalled GOverlay and MangoHud again, manually built mangohud, then reinstalled GOverlay through Synaptic.

Now I have a number of problems:

1. The UI of GOverlay is white on white:

2. No overlay or FPS limit in games
I'm trying Alien: Isolation through Steam using Proton Experimental. I set the FPS limit to 90 in GOverlay and tried the game with the following launch options:

MANGOHUD=1 %command%
mangohud %command%
- no launch option -

In all of these cases, there's no MangoHud overlay like I see it in YouTube videos, and the FPS shoot through the roof (250ish).

3. MangoHud works on Chrome when setting it to global
When setting "Global Enable" and restarting, I get a flickering HUD overlay in Chrome browser saying my FPS are limited to 90. That's nice, but not exactly what I need ;-)

Also, I'm not seeing any other metrics in the overlay, whether it's in the preview in GOverlay, nor in-app (I mean, Chrome).

I'm not really sure how this is supposed to work, but I suspect this is not it. What am I doing wrong? Did I mess something up during install?

I use Pop OS 22.04 and use apt version 0.7.1 and source build version 0.9 as well
down here is the picture. Sorry I don't know how to code in pascal

P.S. all 1080p 2K resolution and scaling 1x 2x don't change the layout.

There is no headbar icon for GOverlay 0.9.1 on Lubuntu 22.04.2.

Hello, I actually also asked about this on the vkbasalt github, but I was wondering if this TAA implementation for reshade should theoretically work on vkbasalt, sorry if this is not quite related, but it looks quite promising and I really have the doubt.

https://github.com/JakobPCoder/ReshadeTFAA
https://github.com/JakobPCoder/ReshadeMotionEstimation

If so, is there a way for it to be selected?, I never configured basalt outside of goverlay before, so I'm not really sure if external effect files can also be implemented.

When using GOverlay on a fresh KDE installation, it's taking like 2 minutes to save the configs.
The software hangs and it doesn't show any error on terminal.

I tried on XFCE and it's working fine.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

there are two gpum one amd and one nvidia i can see the stat of the amd one, so its clock speed memory clock speed utilization. However, nvidia has only 0 0 for clock and gb, not for vram. What could be the problem with ubuntu based distro

Hello folks!

I just installed Linux (Pop_OS) the first time and i wanted to get a Geforce experience like Application. Goverlay seemed perfect as it combines Mangohud and Goverlay. The Problem is it doesn't work on my Machine.
The version from the pop Shop opens successfully but it tells me Mangohud (which i've compiled manually from source because the package didn't work) is not installed even though it definitely is (works through command line). Furthermore i can't enable GLOBAL ENABLE. The Setting gets reset after i reboot my PC.

I've also tried using the Github release but that one won't start with a similar issue to the one mentioned in #21

Compiling from source also doesn't work with this (these) Issues:

Most of the dependencies weren't available through apt so I assume they are already preinstalled.

Doesn't seem to be a mangohud issue as it was working fine till I tried changing the setting back goverlay, makes it look like this (yes even in widescreen)

Using goverlay-bin from aur and git builds of mangohud also from aur.

Ubuntu Version is very outdated, is it possible for an update, i tried to build it myself on Ubuntu and that was failure

Like the title says I'm getting this error when trying to run the program after building from source either through command line or application menu:

I'm running Zorin OS 16.2 (based on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal). I had to build from source because the tar wouldn't install because Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have libc6 2.34, the newest version it has is 2.31-0ubuntu9.9.

On wayland with Nobara Linux 37 (KDE Plasma) x86_64.
Any idea what is causing this?

Hi, sorry if this has already been written about somewhere but I haven't been able to find anything - SearX shows that there is a closed issue related to this but the URL is invalid, and it doesn't show up in the issues list (https://github.com/benjamimgois/goverlay/issues/169).

I use KDE Plasma on Garuda Linux with 175% global scaling since that is the only way to not squint at everything on a 4K 15" screen or have everything massive, and goverlay does not conform to this scaling. Thankfully KDE has a desktop zoom i can use so i don't have to break my eyes and neck to look at goverlay, but it would be nice if there were a way to adjust the programs scale.

Here is a screenshot. As you can see, goverlay is teeny tiny compared to everything else.

Is this an issue of unsupported fractional scaling? I know that apps like Lutris don't support fractional scaling so I'm stuck with using them as they are. Also, unlike the 'MangoHud is tiny' issue, my MangoHud shows up fine - I would just like to be able to make the window bigger and be able to read comfortably :)

If any additional details are needed, please let me know and I'll provide them asap. ^^
I got goverlay from the Chaotic AUR and am using the 0.9.1 beta.

I have a 2560*1600 high resolution screen.
So I had to use global item scaling to make UI items easy to see.（150%）
But Goverlay's UI doesn't seem to work perfectly in this case, and the text of the various options overlaps.
I use the KDE plasma desktop environment

govelay only detects mangohud in .deb .rpm format, it would be interesting if it supports flatpak as well

Thanks

every time i want to open goverlay it does nothing.

Trying to launch Goverlay on my Arch Linux system via the goverlay-bin package from the AUR. Couldn't get GOverlay to launch so I tried via the terminal and and I get this error code:

/usr/lib/goverlay: error while loading shared libraries: libspdlog.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked to make sure I have the spdlog package and its installed and up to date. The one last thing I tried was checking the other goverlay AUR builds and still reproduces the same error.

As you can see from the screenshot. the options are blacked out. i can hover over them and see the little window that explains what it does.
Using Plasma 5.25.3 with Wayland.

I installed mangohud and goverlay and it shows up but everytime I try and open the program it does nothing.

The current method used works well, but I think that vkBasalt should work differently to MangoHud, I really miss profiles per game and would be nice if it support the editing of Reshade shaders.

On MangoHud once you set it to the way you want, you can use it on every title that way, but vkBasalt is different as maybe you want a CRT shader on a pixel art game, maybe you want an anti-aliasing on a 3d game, maybe you want to increase the digital vibrance on CSGO.

I'm not a developer (I just know a bit of GDScript :P), so IDK how it works, but I've some ideas that could be implemented:

Tab 1: Profiles

The idea is to have customized profiles so the user can use it on whatever he want, GOverlay will create a folder, download the Shaders and Texture, and create the conf file to every profile, so it will not overwrite other profile. Would be nice if it generates a option/argument to the user apply on Steam or Lutris.

Tab 2: AA/CAS

GOverlay currently supports only CAS and Shaders, but vkBasalt has SMAA/FXAA/DLS without any addon, so this tab is to release the FULL POTENTIAL!

Tab 3: Shaders

Yeah, that's the one.

The idea is to create a very generic window, with modular settings. The shaders aren't that complex to configure. The .fx file settings follows a pattern:

uniform type parameter [ui things]= value

So GOverlay scans the .fx file, creating items on the Option list and basing on the [ui things](it's a dictionary right?) it configures the menu at the bottom.

Maybe it's a bit too much, but it's just some ideas, feel free to close if don't think that worth all the work.

Anyway, good work dude!

./goverlay: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.34 not found (required by ./goverlay)

Waited for the upgrade to 0.9, saw the item about adapting the theme to the system theme. However, the fonts as in the last version I have are not congruent, grey on top of the white tab header.

Hello, I'm just curious to know if this is the normal behaviour, after saving my basalt shader config, restarting the application makes me have to setup the active effects tab completely again, I'm using the git version, but I'm assuming it should remember or recognize them from the config file at startup

After I configured goverlay to open in gaming mode, I tried to make some changes to one of the performance overlays there, but after pressing Save the goverlay app just freezes for two minutes and says "Config Saved", however there are no changes being applied. In desktop mode all works as intended.

Also tried manually compiling with make command after installing lazarus. Both cases getting following error.

I can confirm that mangohud is working fine with steam and lutris both.

Dear Author,

First of all, kudos for your wonderful work!
If you could please add no_small_font option, it would be appreciated.

Thank You so much!

The field is grayed out for no obvious reason.

Using goverlay-git from chaotic-aur

GOverlay used to work, unfortunately idk when it stopped because I rarely open it.

The error is /usr/libexec/goverlay: symbol lookup error: /usr/libexec/goverlay: undefined symbol: QLCLOpenGLWidget_override_paintG. Not a lot to work with, but nothing else is printed.

System info:

• Fedora 36, pretty much every other game-related thing working.
• GTX 1070, closed nvidia driver, latest version (515.65.01)

I tried reinstalling GOverlay with dnf, removing and reinstalling, downloading the GitHub release (doesn't work, either, just a different error undefined symbol: QLCLOpenGLWidget_Create) and even building from source, still errors out.

The inofficial-ish qt5pas release doesn't change anything, either.
Edit: I reinstalled almost every package with dnf (sudo dnf reinstall $(rpm -qa|grep -v 100%unrelatedThingsLikeWine)), no change

I'm on Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon 5.6.8 and I'm having issues with seeing the text on the interface because the ui is rendering as light gray in some areas:

Any suggestions on how I can resolve this?

If I set a a custom font in ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf with font_file, and font_file_text. Then run goverlay & save any changes to the conf file using goverlay. The font variables get overwritten. And there's no support for settings custom fonts in goverlay itself only a pregenerated list of two fonts.

Is there any chance to choose the position of the info window freely?
In whatever game I play it is always obscuring some game info. Like in World of Tanks you can't position it anywhere without it blocking the remaining time (upper right), your team leaders (upper left), score (top middle) and so on. It'd be grand if we could move it around where we need it. Like with an "offset" value (i.e. "top-left voffset=250" to move it down from the upper left corner by 250 pixels) or something. Maybe take a screenshot of the game you're playing, load that into the GOverlay main window as a background and move the GUI around where you think it'd fit.

Other than that, love your work :)

I was able to get GOverlay working on Mint after following this instruction:
"To confirm I did the following on Ubuntu 22.04.

Installed libqt5pas from here - https://github.com/davidbannon/libqt5pas/releases/tag/v1.2.10

Then installed GOverlay

sudo apt-get install goverlay

Then installed MangoHUD from scratch.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud.git
cd MangoHud
./build.sh build
./build.sh install

Once this was done, GOverlay launched correctly."
However, it looks like this:

Problems with missing things like here #45 would be past because a snap package could just include all that's needed. No matter even how old Ubuntu or other distribution. sudo snap install goverlay and that would be it.

Adding PPA's are a thing or the past too (and a security risk). Compiling from source does not seem to work either for so many.

Is there a technical reason why there is still no flatpak or a snap package? No one is forced to use those if some idealism prevents it, building from source would still be there. But normal users just would like a working and a simple way to install and launch GOverlay.

Thanks

Hi, I tried to install GOverlay through the Pop!_Shop but unfortunately I wasn't able to even start the program.

I ran goverlay it in the terminal, and I got the message: can't get libdl.so.

Is there any workaround to this issue?

Probably a PEBCAK issue but i can't figure out how to solve it so here it is:
I have vkBasalt installed with all the dependencies but here is the problem

I can't click on any options and + and - buttons are unresponsive.
It seems that i can turn on CAS but not reshade effects.

Hey,

thanks for this great program!

There is only a issue with the latest release, and with latest git build. Here is a Video:

https://streamable.com/vzh2dl

The UI is in few Places broken/unuseable.

Thanks for your time.

Not 100% sure if it is a mangohud specific thing or not, but I enabled it globally using goverlay and currently I have 2 games open while using it. If I toggle it off in one game, it turns on in the other. If I toggle it back on in the first game, it comes back and goes away on the second. If I turn it on in game 2 while it is open in game 1, it moves to game 2 then goes back to game 1 when I close it in game 2 or open it in game 1.

I'm using a laptop with a 768p screen. App is to big and wont adapt window for screen size.
Zorin OS 16
GOverlay 0.6.1

On version 0.9 the configuration UI is not displayed. Instead, I have these glitched lines:

Version 0.8.1 is working perfectly fine:

Right now, to define a toggleable FPS limit, you must specify more than one FPS value (0 is valid and acts as "unlimited"):

However, in the Custom field, you can only enter a single number:

This could be done by replacing the spinbox control with a standard text field, so you could enter something like 120 / 60 / 30 like in the presets. I'd like to use 0 / 117 so that I can toggle a 117 FPS limit when needed (this is to achieve low input lag with VRR on a 120 Hz display).

I was able to use the app before but it just broke completely, maybe with an update.

System info:
Distro: Manjaro KDE with all the latest updates
Nvidia Driver Version: 515.57
Reboot and reinstall didn't help
Install type: Arch AUR 0.9.0-1

Currently, using goverlay requires it be installed using a native package manager, and that + the fact that, at least for me, it behaves weirdly outside of a sandbox of some sort (and I use an immutable distro)

I can start work on a basic manifest sometime later, and then work out the kinks from there---

Hi,
I have 7 metrics being shown, however it seems the HUD isn't adapting to the size of the elements and is producing.. this?

Settings are default except for the metrics being used which I changed. Metrics in use are GPU temp, VRAM, CPU average load, freq, temp, RAM usage and FPS. No graphs.

Running on arch, 6.0.11 zen kernel. Installed 0.9.1 from Chaotic AUR.

Update: I disabled the global enable for mangohud so I could have a working config however disabling it didn't seem to work either. I'm not sure if the toggle is just not working or if goverlay has overwritten my config and hasn't reverted to the previous config.
