New frontend location: https://github.com/SteamClientHomebrew/Millennium/tree/next/src/frontend The C++ port is essentially a 1:1 replication of the old backend, just in C++. Helpful NotesAlways take a look at the Millennium CI, it shows how Millennium is properly packaged. |

@DioKyrie-Git I've found the fix and made a PR. It should work for you whenever the changes get merged. In the meantime if you'd like you can change your flake definition from: |

your pr was merged and i confirmed that the source nix was using contained your commit and i still got the same error, however doing this seemed to fix it immediately unfortunately it still does not work due to a single failed test (when building watchdog i think?) though im pretty sure this could just be a system specific issue |

Just a note to Nix users, as the previous Nix maintainer no longer wanted to work on the project, all Nix related build scripts have been removed on the dev branch. This means once dev gets merged in the next release, it will no longer work on Nix. Obviously support can be re-added in a better fashion, but as of right now its non-existent. |

I know nothing about Nix, but could we see Millennium in nixpkgs? or does it not meet certain requirements. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way it was setup before was using "flakes" which seem to suck and won't work with nixpkg |

I'll take a look on the weekend to see if that's possible. I'll ping you if I make any progress (if you don't mind) @shdwmtr |

@shdwmtr it should most definitely be able to be packaged without using flakes, and fairly easy at that. but flakes would still be useful when paired with home-manager for creating a declarative config |

Yeah I talked with a friend and we'll pull request to nixpkgs in the following week. As I don't configure Millenium with Home-Manager I would probably not be maintaining a flake |

Technically you don't need a flake for that as you can manually create and maintain config files with Home-Manager even without a module |

I don't think it's an either/or situation. There are two distinct things:
I'm not too familiar with how quickly or often Millennium breaks with steam updates, if that seldomly happens and waiting a few days for nixpkgs to pull in the pr then I really don't see an issue with upstreaming the library and it's probably even a good idea to provide a best-effort base for everyone. I think spicetify-nix is a good parallel since it's similar in scope. The core libraries and packages are not a problem to package and upstream. The issue arises from the whole ecosystem and declarative configuration. I'm working on a flake that builds on the existing flake that comes closer to the nixos "ideal". imports = [
inputs.millennium-nix.nixosModules.default
];
programs.steam = {
enable = true;
millennium.enable = true;
};imports = [
inputs.millennium-nix.homeModules.default
];
programs.steam.millennium = {
enable = true;
themes = with pkgs.millenniumThemes; [
windows-95
];
plugins = with pkgs.millenniumPlugins; [
extendium
];
settings = {
plugins.enabledPlugins = [
"extendium"
];
themes = {
activeTheme = "Windows 95";
allowedScripts = true;
allowedStyles = true;
conditions = {
"Windows 95" = {
"Colors" = "Windows 2000";
"Reduced game list entry height" = "yes";
};
};
};
};
};So far I have to say the ecosystem around Millennium isn't upstreamable. Most themes and plugins don't have proper releases or licenses for one and another is the volume and maintenance burden. With the flake I'm making I just pull all plugins and themes from the api, put all important values in a lock file and have github actions update them daily. That's kind of hard to do within nixpkgs. I think this can be one of the goals of a nixos flake and this certainly could be upstreamed to home-manager and nixpkgs, but the friction is a lot higher on the maintainer side if the alternative is that users just need to add a flake. |

Currently we're mainly working on a sustainable (read "low maintenance") way of packaging millennium, my end goal is hopefully get it to the point that it can be automatically updated using nix-update. For actually making it functional, my intent is to follow the example for Vencord in the Discord package, so to enable it you'll use The big issue with the way the flake in this repo is set up is that it requires someone actively maintaining the flake, since the nixpkgs input is pinned to one specific commit. If it's in nixpkgs, the only maintenance the package should require is is when millennium releases a new release, and the issue I see with the existing nixpkgs PR is that updating it isn't just updating a |

What do you mean by old overlay? Before the rewrite of millennium when the flake was moved to packages/nix? I cannot reproduce the issues with the latest flake version when setting

Millennium doesn't exist in nixpkgs yet, so this doesn't work. You currently have to use the I've put together a new millennium package for nixpkgs, I just need to actually make a PR in nixpkgs. |

I can view it in mpv apparently. But it cuts off before it gets interesting. Can you just paste the logs including the part where it flickers? Does millennium actually load (is the Millennium menu point under Steam)? Or is it completely failing to load? The log would really help narrow this down. But I suspect it's to do with either Can you try using the |

i stopped it there as that was when steam froze as shown by how my mouse was moving and it showed steam as frozen and not updating the hovered game and i was unable to click anything on steam. even though this was reproducible at the time i first got the bug to occur, so if it happens again i will try to get the logs but i guess this might not be an actual issue with Millennium and instead but as I've been trying to get it to happen again and steam is working fine now and i don't know what changed unless there was an issue with the Millennium install as i did uninstall Millennium and install normal steam to test if it was specific to Millennium as that appears to be the only change I've made also i will test and see if using programs.steam has any effect |

Looks like the patcher isn't finding what it wants to patch, is there coincidentally an OOM kill in dmesg? Neither I fear this may be system specific and not related to nixos itself.

What is this?
This is a mega thread for all NixOS related issues and topics. As we (the Millennium authors) do NOT maintain/develop the NixOS distribution of Millennium, all related questions, issues, feature requests, etc should be here.
Not Maintained?
We (the Millennium authors) are not actively working on a NixOS build for Millennium, and we don't plan on making one. That said, we will officially recognize NixOS support if it's contributed to the repository; however, we will NOT bug fix it or update it in any fashion. All contributions must be done by the community - If there is an issue, it's up for you guys to solve!
Note
Do NOT open new issues, features, or ask related questions about NixOS-Millennium to any of the developers. We know nothing about NixOS, or how the Millennium is packaged within it. Thanks :)
However, you CAN ask specific questions to the Millennium developers about porting to NixOS. ex: "What does this module do? Does it need to be built for Millennium to work?" etc. Just don't ask us questions that require background knowledge of NixOS.
Getting in touch with the Millennium developers.
I will likely read this thread incredibly irregularly. if you need to reach out, ping me on our discord server.
