The gs plugin failed to open initialize что делать

Well, I already wrote that I had DirectX freshly updated in my original post, but. it appears that even though the setup doesn’t prompt you to reboot your system after the installation finished, you still have to do so in order for it to work properly.
But now that I got it working, I tried three different games, and neither of them would work as I would like them to. Maybe my CPU/GPU are too weak though.
The games I tested were Xenosaga I, Xenosaga II and Persona 4.
Xenosaga II booted correctly, but whenever there were any 3D graphics on-screen (so basically most of the time), the framerate would be 4fps at best.
Persona 4 yielded the best results so far, I was getting something between 30 and 40 fps, but the sound was quite slow and jumpy.
One of my main problems is this stupid ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 for which I can’t find a more recent official driver. AMD/ATI stopped supporting notebook drivers for VISTA 32-bit and redirect customers to their respective notebook manufacturer, in my case ASUS.
The only catalyst driver I found on the official ASUS site was from April 2007.
Anyway, would be nice if any of you could give some feedback on whether my system configuration should be strong enough to run PCSX2 smoothly once I had all drivers updated and optimized the configuration of PCSX2. Or let me know if it’s a complete waste of time with what hardware I got at the moment.
pcsx2: GS plugin failed to open #40834
Comments
va1entin commented May 20, 2018 •
Issue description
pcsx2 does not boot images, because it fails with the error «GS plugin failed to open. Your computer may have insufficient resources or incompatible hardware/drivers.»
Tried with both release-18.03 and master.
Also it logs errors, when started: 
I made a screenshot because my Plasma regularly crashed when clicking anything in the log window. Had to reboot the system after, regular methods to restart Plasma didn’t work.
My console output when starting PCSX2 looks as follows:
Steps to reproduce
Boot any image with PCSX2

Thanks for your report. The log window seems to be bugged somehow. It looks like the whole UI does only refresh when the log window does. So it’s best to just close it.
Each game needs different plugin settings. You’ll get that error message with some configurations/games (usually when the software renderer would use up to many system resources). Open up the GS plugin settings page and make sure that the correct video card and depending on the game the software or hardware renderer is selected. There are many videos on youtube about this exact error. Here is one that shows it on Windows. It’s not that different on NixOS—just play around with the settings. Some games will work with the software renderer, some with the hardware renderer and some on both or with artifacts on one or the other. Each game is different, performance and visual quality will differ depending on the game and your settings.
The PCSX2 Wiki is a good entry point to find common problems and configurations/workarounds for nearly every PS2 game out there. Just don’t give up to early, I got every game running with after some time of tweaking… With all of that set, you should be ready to play 🙂

@va1entin have you been able to resolve this issue or do you require further assistance? If you could resolve it or when it’s not related to nixpkgs please close this issue.
va1entin commented Jun 1, 2018
@hrdinka Sorry for not commenting the last few days, I’ve been too busy. Thanks for your comment, I’ll certainly reply this weekend. 🙂

Alright @hrdinka here’s what I’m observing now.
When I start PCSX2 the following windows opens 
The path /nix/store/92. does not exist.
Afterwards it tells me that it might not function properly due to plugins missing and offers me to open the plugin menu, which looks as follows:
i can open a dialog by clicking on «Configure» next to the GS plugin entry.
Also the plugin folder at the bottom of that window does exist:
hrdinka commented Jun 10, 2018
every time PCSX2 is updated its path will change (due how nix works). That is why it won’t be able to find its libraries. It seems that it has corrected the error for you. The wrong path above is different from the one used below, that’s why the path chosen below exists.
You can change the base path to something that won’t change due updates. Depending on how you’ve installed the program you can locate it somewhere here:
Besides that, does it finally work for you?
va1entin commented Jun 11, 2018
The debug window, which automatically opens when I start PCSX2, still crashes it from time to time. The error message regarding missing plugins at /nix/store/92. above still opens on every start up and the folder it complains about doesn’t change.
When I select an ISO and a BIOS with the correct version, it works though 👍
I still have some graphical issues, but I can play the game itself. So I guess PCSX2 just didn’t fix the plugin path itself, when I submitted this issue 🙂
Do you want me to keep it open to track the error/debug message behaviour described above?

Another thing I noticed is that I don’t see most of the navigation elements such as checkboxes:

hrdinka commented Jun 18, 2018
Have you changed the login path to a non changing path as I suggested above? This should make the debug window go away.
The UI problems as well as all log errors in you first post …GDK_IS_PIXBUF… are all non PCSX2/NixOS related. They occur because you have not setup your GTK2 theme & engines. I assume that you use KDE. It might have setup GTK3 themes for you, but not or only partially GTK2. There are many examples online how to do this. KDE might help with this too. Usually you have to install a GTK2 theming engine (through nix) and a GTK2 theme that makes use of the installed engine. Further make sure that hicolor_icon_theme is installed, this might explain the missing icons.
GTK2 is really dated now, it isn’t that well supported by WMs any more and has many issues like being unable to work correctly with HIDPI screens. I always struggle with these applications as well…
hrdinka commented Jun 18, 2018 •
This repo is about NixOS & nix, a package manager, package repo and operating system. It looks like you’re not a nix/NixOS user and have downloaded PCSX2 from their official website. We are not related to PCSX2 at all other than packaging their application for our OS. This is therefore the wrong place to ask for help.
However I think it’s best to try to solve this yourself before posting there or alternatively ask on their forums and not on github. It looks like the only problem you have is that you are missing needed libraries. PCSX2 is 32bit only, when your OS is a 64bit installation you need to install all of these libraries in their 32bit version.
Since everyone who wants to use PCSX2 has to install these libraries you will find many examples and tutorials online on how to do this for your OS—in case the above link does not help.
