Asahi Linux - krun + FEX + Steam

README.md

Disclaimer

Make sure you understand the experimental nature of this. Things might stop working anytime, although please let me know if that happens and I will try my best to get them working again. Most importantly, please do not bug the Asahi devs about this. This is not officially released or endorsed by the Asahi Linux project.

Create distrobox container

export DBX_CONTAINER_MANAGER=podman
distrobox create --image quay.io/fedora/fedora-toolbox:40-aarch64 --name asahi-krun

Enter distrobox container

distrobox enter asahi-krun

When it's ready, your terminal prompt should look something like:

📦[teohhanhui@asahi-krun ~]$

Install krun and dependencies inside the container

sudo dnf copr enable slp/asahi-mesa-wip
sudo dnf config-manager --save --setopt=*.priority=5 copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:slp:asahi-mesa-wip
sudo dnf copr enable teohhanhui/asahi-krun
sudo dnf install mesa-dri-drivers-24.1.0~asahipre20240228
sudo dnf --best install alsa-lib alsa-plugins-pulseaudio alsa-utils dhcpcd eglinfo glmark2 glx-utils libkrun mesa-demos passt pipewire-libs pulseaudio-libs pulseaudio-utils socat sommelier virglrenderer xorg-x11-server-Xwayland --exclude pipewire --exclude pipewire-pulseaudio --exclude pulseaudio
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/slp/krun.git
cd krun
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
. ~/.cargo/env
sudo dnf group install c-development
sudo dnf install clang-devel libkrun-devel llvm-devel
cargo build --release
sudo cp target/release/krun{,-guest,-server} /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/krun{,-guest,-server}

Save the krun file from this gist as ~/.local/bin/krun, then chmod +x ~/.local/bin/krun. This will be your entry point to run anything inside krun VM.

Save the krun-guest file from this gist as ~/.local/bin/krun-guest, then chmod +x ~/.local/bin/krun-guest. We use this file to override some things while running inside the krun VM (for now).

Install FEX inside the container

sudo dnf copr enable teohhanhui/fex-emu
sudo dnf install fex-emu

Set up FEX RootFS

krun FEXRootFSFetcher

Then follow the instructions:

1. Choose y to download.
2. Choose 1 for Fedora 40.
3. Choose 1 to extract.
4. Choose y to set as default.

Save the FEXBash file from this gist as ~/.local/bin/FEXBash, then chmod +x ~/.local/bin/FEXBash. This will be your entry point to run commands in the FEX environment. Tip: Don't use FEXBash in your shell scripts, as it does not properly handle word splitting. Use krun FEXInterpreter or krun FEXInterpreter sh instead.

If you do krun myprogram where myprogram is an x86(-64) executable, it'll automatically get run using FEX, thanks to binfmt_misc rules. Note: This would not work for programs like steam which are only installed inside the FEX RootFS.

chroot into FEX RootFS

sudo dnf install patchelf
krun bash

Once you're inside the krun VM:

cd ~/.fex-emu/RootFS/Fedora_40
unshare -pfr --user --mount --kill-child /usr/bin/bash

Your terminal prompt should become something like:

[root@han-macbook-air Fedora_40]#

Switch into the chroot:

./unbreak_chroot.sh

You should have seen Chrooting into container message, and your terminal prompt should look something like:

bash-5.2#

Install Steam in FEX RootFS

dnf copr enable slp/asahi-mesa-wip
sed 's/\[\(copr:copr\.fedorainfracloud\.org:slp:asahi-mesa-wip\)\]/[\1.i386]/;s/\$basearch/i386/' /etc/yum.repos.d/_copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:slp:asahi-mesa-wip.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/_copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:slp:asahi-mesa-wip.i386.repo
dnf config-manager --save --setopt=*.priority=5 copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:slp:asahi-mesa-wip copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:slp:asahi-mesa-wip.i386
dnf install mesa-dri-drivers-24.1.0~asahipre20240228
dnf remove pipewire pulseaudio
dnf --best install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio alsa-utils eglinfo glmark2 glx-utils mesa-demos mesa-libEGL-devel pulseaudio-utils --exclude pipewire --exclude pipewire-pulseaudio --exclude pulseaudio
dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
dnf install steam --exclude pipewire --exclude pipewire-pulseaudio --exclude pulseaudio

Exit from FEX RootFS chroot

First, exit from the chroot:

exit

(Long spam of error messages... It doesn't clean up properly, but we'll take care of that below.)

And then, exit from the unshare:

exit

This is compulsory as the previous cleanup after exiting from chroot didn't work correctly with our setup:

./break_chroot.sh

Run Steam

Save the steam file from this gist as ~/.local/bin/steam, then chmod +x ~/.local/bin/steam. This will be how you run Steam.

steam

Note: If you get an error like this, just try again. It should work after a few tries.

dlmopen steamui.so failed: steamui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load steamui.so - dlerror(): (null)

Save the steam.desktop file from this gist as ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop. It creates an entry for Steam in your app launcher. (It will launch with the terminal, because Steam is quite slow to launch, so you would want to know what's going on, and it might crash and restart, etc.)

Troubleshooting Steam

Check the Steam logs in ~/.steam/root/logs

Workaround for transparent Steam window

Workaround has already been added in the steam file from this gist (~/.local/bin/steam).

The old workaround (disabling GPU accelerated rendering) was found to be bad, as it caused the renderer process to keep crashing (also, it was just slow).

If you have previously disabled GPU accelerated rendering, you should remove this line from ~/.steam/registry.vdf:

					"GPUAccelWebViewsV3"		"0"

Workaround for Steam menus not working properly

Switch to Big Picture Mode. (Please make sure you don't have GPU accelerated rendering disabled, or it'd be really slow.)

Optional: Lutris

chroot into FEX RootFS

Follow the steps in chroot into FEX RootFS above.

Install Lutris

dnf install lutris --exclude ntfs-3g --exclude pipewire --exclude pipewire-pulseaudio --exclude pulseaudio

Exit from FEX RootFS chroot

Follow the steps in Exit from FEX RootFS chroot above.

Run Lutris

Save the lutris file from this gist as ~/.local/bin/lutris, then chmod +x ~/.local/bin/lutris. This will be how you run Lutris.

lutris

Save the net.lutris.Lutris.desktop file from this gist as ~/.local/share/applications/net.lutris.Lutris.desktop. It creates an entry for Lutris in your app launcher.

Optional: box64

Personally I quite like box64. It's good to have not 1, but 2 x86-64 emulators. More competition, more options, etc.

Enter distrobox container

Follow the steps in Enter distrobox container above.

Install box64

sudo dnf copr enable teohhanhui/box64
sudo dnf install box64
sudo mkdir -p /x86_64/etc/yum.repos.d
sudo cp /etc/yum.repos.d/{fedora,fedora-updates,fedora-updates-testing}.repo /x86_64/etc/yum.repos.d/
sudo dnf --installroot=/x86_64 --forcearch=x86_64 --releasever=/ install system-release
sudo dnf --installroot=/x86_64 --forcearch=x86_64 install bash

Run box64

Save the box64 file from this gist as ~/.local/bin/box64, then chmod +x ~/.local/bin/box64.

box64 bash

Unfortunately this is broken at the moment: ptitSeb/box64#1517 (You could use a separate Fedora 39 distrobox container in the meantime...)

Install Wine (new wow64 mode)

sudo dnf --installroot=/x86_64 --forcearch=x86_64 copr enable teohhanhui/wine
sudo dnf --installroot=/x86_64 --forcearch=x86_64 install wine

Fix up the wine symlinks in /x86_64:

( cd /x86_64/etc/alternatives; _bindir=/x86_64/usr/bin; _libdir=/x86_64/usr/lib64; sudo ln -sf ${_bindir}/wine64 wine; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/i386-windows/wine-d3d10_1.dll 'wine-d3d10_1(x86-32)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/x86_64-windows/wine-d3d10_1.dll 'wine-d3d10_1(x86-64)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/i386-windows/wine-d3d10core.dll 'wine-d3d10core(x86-32)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/x86_64-windows/wine-d3d10core.dll 'wine-d3d10core(x86-64)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/i386-windows/wine-d3d10.dll 'wine-d3d10(x86-32)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/x86_64-windows/wine-d3d10.dll 'wine-d3d10(x86-64)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/i386-windows/wine-d3d11.dll 'wine-d3d11(x86-32)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/x86_64-windows/wine-d3d11.dll 'wine-d3d11(x86-64)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/i386-windows/wine-d3d9.dll 'wine-d3d9(x86-32)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/x86_64-windows/wine-d3d9.dll 'wine-d3d9(x86-64)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/i386-windows/wine-dxgi.dll 'wine-dxgi(x86-32)'; sudo ln -sf ${_libdir}/wine/x86_64-windows/wine-dxgi.dll 'wine-dxgi(x86-64)'; sudo ln -sf ${_bindir}/wine64-preloader wine-preloader; sudo ln -sf ${_bindir}/wineserver64 wineserver; )

@dylanchapell

@aqrln Did you find a solution to not having network access in the krun?

Sorry I didn't notice you mentioned me earlier and the whole discussion above, I got it working by hardcoding Cloudflare's DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf inside the VM after the file is generated like this:

diff --git a/crates/krun-guest/src/net.rs b/crates/krun-guest/src/net.rs

See slp/krun#17

not Rust developers right now unfortunately (although knowing it is an advantage) but we do need some TypeScript engineers if this is relevant for you by any chance!

@aqrln Well, I don't have TypeScript experience specifically, only JS, but I'm learning Angular now for a side project , so... 😂

@teohhanhui

I have not experienced that, so no idea. Try to check some of the Steam logs in ~/.steam/root/logs

Here's part of the logs for the steam client: https://pastebin.com/hr7JtKai

AppImage is tricky even just in the Flatpak version of Steam. It uses FUSE which requires root or setuid on fusermount.

That's unfortunate, it would be desirable to get this working somehow. In my experience I have found that much of the Linux software from developers that refuse to budge on supporting arm64 provide their software packaged as AppImages or Flatpak. In light of this, if it's not possible to run AppImages then I fear that it would diminish one of the main reasons for having fast x86_64 Linux emulation.

I have been running into some other problems with asahi-krun.

First, I am getting broken Xwayland pipe errors on Hyprland on some games I have tested.
(EE) failed to write to Xwayland fd: Broken pipe (or similar)
This error does not occur on KDE, so I am wondering if I have the wrong configuration or if Hyprland is bugged. Here are examples of the error:
https://pastebin.com/JzY2gZ9E
https://pastebin.com/90vLqg33

Second, there is an issue with steam's client libraries being unable to be located. When launching certain games, they look in the .steam/sdk32 or .steam/sdk64 folder for steamclient.so, but these directories are empty.
https://pastebin.com/Ngv9Gfmw

Third, sometimes when I click on the settings tag in the steam client, it crashes instantly with this error:
xdg_surface@44: error 3: xdg_surface has never been configured

Fourth, all GUI clients of krun become unresponsive if my computer sleeps while it is running.

Fifth, sometimes when RAM usage is high in krun plus on the host, the computer will crash completely and shut down (this has become less common since built your memory balloon branch of krun).

Thanks for all your work so far and I will do my best to provide more logs if you would like to help debug this.

Second, there is an issue with steam's client libraries being unable to be located. When launching certain games, they look in the .steam/sdk32 or .steam/sdk64 folder for steamclient.so, but these directories are empty.

The file exists on my system. Maybe there's a way to trigger Steam to revalidate and download missing files...

Hello! :)
I'm getting this when trying to launch steam:

Error: couldn't parse `ef-force-occlusion`:

@QushyQushy That's really weird. But you could remove -cef-force-occlusion option from the steam wrapper script. I wonder if that'd help.

EDIT: Oops. That doesn't help. I'll investigate for a bit.

@QushyQushy Fixed the wrapper scripts. Please see the latest revision for the changes: https://gist.github.com/teohhanhui/042a395010d9946ceee14768736e3780/revisions

Yup. Works amazingly now! :) Thank you! :)

I've tried several times but have been unable to get Steam working because of an error during dnf install dbus-x11 steam xdg-user-dirs installing dbus-daemon:

Error unpacking rpm package dbus-daemon-1:1.14.10-3.fc40.x86_64
  Installing       : inih-58-1.fc40.i686                                  11/17

error: dbus-daemon-1:1.14.10-3.fc40.x86_64: install failed

This then leads steam to not start as seen below:

[wl@fedora]$ steam
steam.sh[1069]: Running Steam on fedora 40 64-bit
steam.sh[1069]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[1145]: Updating Steam runtime environment...

@wxllow No, Steam does not need dbus-launch. That's just a warning. But sorry, I've no idea what could cause the errors you're seeing. You'd have to investigate further on your own.

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/libexec/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper;6660f2b8: cpio: chown failed - Operation not permitted

This is really weird.

@wxllow

What desktop or window manager are you using? I started getting that error with steam and I’m on Hyprland.
I also had the same problem with installing dbus where it wouldn’t go ahead because of permission issues.

I tried deleting everything and reinstalling but the unbreak chroot script errors out and doesn’t let me enter the FEX root

I'm not sure what causes it to not work on Hyprland but I tried redoing everything on KDE Plasma Wayland and although dbus daemon installation error still occurs, I am able to start Steam this time :)

Is there a way to get these mesa drivers in the container for Vulkan without messing up the host? There is a 1.3 implementation that seems to have a good amount work done on it for compatibility that it’s fully compliant vm 1.3 and just needs more extensions. Probably can just build it. Source code is in the page. I don’t normally mess with drivers so just was wondering. https://rosenzweig.io/blog/vk13-on-the-m1-in-1-month.html

@Spidy123222 If you want to try that, you're on your own. I don't want to create more PR (public relations, not pull request lol) headaches for the Asahi Linux project people.

@wxllow

Okay then there is probably something broken here between the VM and Hyprland. I can run it okay in KDE or DWL.

@teohhanhui
I deleted steam's files and reinstalled everything and those missing libraries are all installed properly now.

Also I found out that if you run these commands from the guide by copying them both and running them at the same time, things will look okay but the unbreak chroot script won't run properly. You have to copy and run the lines one at a time

cd ~/.fex-emu/RootFS/Fedora_40
unshare -pfr --user --mount --kill-child /usr/bin/bash

@lacamar Haha. Yes... All the commands are intended to be run one-by-one. That's why I didn't turn them into scripts or put any -y etc.

Totally get it. I was talking to Alyssa earlier about it. Thought was cool and kind of wanted to try it. I think I have an idea on what to do.

Can we have an uninstall guide for this?

@m3957

Can we have an uninstall guide for this?

distrobox rm asahi-krun
rm -rf ~/.fex-emu
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam
rm ~/.local/bin/{FEXBash,krun,krun-guest,steam}
rm ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop

Something like that...

@wxllow

I have the same problem even in dwl. I installed Hyprland and dwl on minimal Fedora Asahi Linux without KDE.

running krun FEXConfig does not have any outputs.

@ghostlypi It's supposed to launch a GUI window.

Having the same issue. Is there any logging or verbosity to krun?

At first ran into asahi_dri.so not found but noticed fedora installed the main repo's version and not the copr one.

Is there any logging or verbosity to krun?

@ArtificialAmateur Try this:

RUST_LOG='krun=debug,krun_guest=debug,krun_server=debug' RUST_BACKTRACE=1 krun -e=RUST_BACKTRACE FEXConfig

Isn't box64 working yet?, I get a wine error with Fedora 39 distrobox:
https://pastebin.com/raw/ckSgWs3C

wine: could not exec wineserver

@ElYaiko That's just a broken symlink that you need to fix up in the /x86_64 install root.

Specifically:

sudo ln -sf /x86_64/usr/bin/wineserver64 /x86_64/etc/alternatives/wineserver
sudo ln -sf /x86_64/etc/alternatives/wineserver /x86_64/usr/bin/wineserver

EDIT: Updated the guide with the full instructions for fixing the symlinks.

Update: Tested with my latest build of box64: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/teohhanhui/box64/build/7661747/ but unfortunately the segfault is still happening on Fedora 40: ptitSeb/box64#1517

I would like to run lutris if it is possible to do, but i can't figure out how to install it. Can someone explain me how to do

@Vincenzo-Puzone

Added Lutris section 😄
