Debian Trixie is not compatible
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
Is your issue described in the documentation?
- [x] I have read the documentation
Is your issue present in the latest beta/pre-release?
None
Describe the Bug
The latest release/pre-release and the script linux_build.sh does not work on Debian 13 Trixie, but after seeing the report for Ubuntu 25.05 and the script, adding some lines I could get a working version.
Expected Behavior
It should be usable on Trixie (soon)
Additional Context
Adding this I was able to satisfy all dependencies, but something does not work with the script, so building directly was enough

Your error is different, it's this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/+bug/2103851
Essentially there is a new library required libayatana-appindicator-glib... I don't know what changes will be required for https://github.com/LizardByte/tray (if any)

You were right, I was blinding adding the installed cuda related package versions, but that was not found on the nvidia url (while using the script linux_build.sh), so if the package (nvcc) is found, there is no need to download from nvidia (I guess), so I added the nvidia/cuda related packages to debian install function and voila (this should be tested on other debian based or just add as debian exclusive dependency on add_debian_deps)

I tested with a dockerfile for trixie, changing the base from bookworm to trixie. To use the cuda package provided from debian the non-free repo must be enabled (I also added contrib), ex.

The script downloads cuda toolkit automatically, we don't want the version provided by the distro (depending on the version it can break compatibility with older cards)
~You mean at build time? because at runtime, you still depend on what the user choose to install on his system, ex.:~
ldd build/sunshine-0.0.0.dirty | grep cuda
libicudata.so.76 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicudata.so.76 (0x00007f4f22200000)
~but well, that's another discussion.~
~I will change that and test again~
You should be able to use the script to build it on trixie, I have tested from the dockerfile and with a change of the nvidia .run file with a distro equivalent but it did not end well, on the other hand using the nvidia packages from the distro seems to work ok (I am using that in my home)
the latest pre-release contains debian trixie deb, it may work just right now.
I'm trying this to access a Debian 13 Proxmox VM and it doesn't seem to work.
First, I notice the service doesn't seem to be created after install.

I'm trying this to access a Debian 13 Proxmox VM and it doesn't seem to work.
First, I notice the service doesn't seem to be created after install.

I started Sunshine manually and tried connecting. However, keyboard or mouse input doesn't work at all. I've added the user to the input group and have also restarted. Here's the log.

+1 Getting the same issue
+1, I'm having the same issue on a completely fresh debian (Trixie) install.
Service is not created; starting sunshine manually will make it run, but no keyboard or mouse input works when connecting.
I have followed all of the steps from the guide, I am in the input group, I have all the needed dependencies installed, I did "sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+p $(readlink -f $(which sunshine))" and so on, nothing.
The issue persists on both Wayland and X11 KDE Plasma. I haven't tried other DEs as I highly doubt it's an issue with Plasma specifically, judging by the other debian posts I've found that are having the same issue, but even if it is, shouldn't the 2 most used DEs be supported and work?
Hope this issue will get solved soon, as I've come to really depend on Sunshine for remote connecting to my systems, and I would hate to switch to something else, as I really love the way Sunshine works and the philosophy behind the simple setup 👍
