The Gram Code Editor - 2026-03-25

Congrats! Just updated. Question about settings, specifically `settings.jsonc`. Is there a schema I can use to get the json language server to work and auto-complete settings? https://gram.liten.app/docs/languages/json/

This is/was a nice feature of Zed is while I edit settings.json, I get the auto-complete and hints.

hi all! I'm trying to run Gram on my slack machine but the binary doesn't run due to glibc version (slack 15 has version 2.33 :/ ) and the binary: `./bin/gram: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./bin/gram)`. My question would be, is glibc >=2.34 a real requirement or could it work with 2.33 if I build from source?

Hmm I also can't get icons to show up in the file tree even after installing some other icon themes.

(on Linux, using the flatpak)

AH nevermind about the icons. Realized it was disabled by default.

Yeah I think 2.33 is just too old, unfortunately

Regardings schema for settings.jsonc it’s the same as Zed - so it should work. I may have broken the LSP hack to get it to pick up the schema when I renamed from json to jsonc. So this would count as a bug I think.. please file an issue (or I’ll do it unless I forget)

I've updated to gram 1.2.0, and I'm not enabling software rendering. We'll see if I get any more weird rendering issues.

Sounds good! I know that there is more work to do. Surface resize handling is not fully implemented, and device loss (suspend) is also not handled well. But I have gotten my hands on a laptop with a radeon GPU now so should be able to test a bit better.

Yeah I saw you said that. Hopefully finishing that stuff helps, because it happened again. I took a screenshot and opened an issue

This issue happens without the system suspending, so it's not that

Thank you, yeah this looks like something else

It also happens without me resizing anything

Oh hold up

I just looked at the logs, and it's trying to run on my Nvidia GPU. No wonder it's messed up (do we care about cursing here?)

oh, hang on.. there is an environment variable you should be able to set to convince it to pick the right GPU

I'm more interested in disabling that GPU from the BIOS or in the kernel. I'm working on that now.

that works 😄 it’s GRAM_DEVICE_ID otherwise

documented here https://gram.liten.app/docs/linux/

Cool, thanks

Very annoying my laptop doesn't seem to have an option to disable the Nvidia GPU entirely

Gotta use a kernel config ig

So far so good, after using envycontrol to disable the Nvidia GPU

on glibc 2.33: thedoctor, krig, thank you, appreciated! I'll see what I can do :)
