As of 8th of May, 2025: Lucem is now officially deprecated. No updates will henceforth be released.

This is why Verm was created.
Verm is a fork of Lucem, and i am constantly updating it to keep it working.
I will also be adding new features every now and then.
Everything in here will stay open-source.
I did not make the wrapper, i am just maintaining it to the best of my ability

ALL CREDITS GO TO THE OWNER OF THE ORIGINAL REPO: https://github.com/xTrayambak/lucem (Deprecated)

Verm is a small wrapper over Sober to provide some QoL improvements.
Please keep in mind that while verm is fully open source software, Sober is proprietary for a very good reason, that being to preserve RoL from 9-year-old skiddies.

I have adressed and fixed alot of the issues the original has.
Here are stability, performance, and safety updates:

• Process I/O: stdout/stderr redirection is guarded; on failure we fall back to /dev/null
• Process launch: child inherits no blocking handles (CLOEXEC), dup2 is guarded
• Liveness checks: use flatpak ps instead of pidof in sandboxed setups
• Bounded exec: all flatpak calls run with timeouts and terminate on hang
• Watcher: advances on disconnect, supports polling delay, and avoids busy loops
• Region notifier: triggers on every join; daemon and client fallback paths
• FFlag safety: booleans written as lowercase; only related keys are changed
• Overlay: debug logs throttled; overlay exits cleanly on timer/key
• GUI: save writes immediately and confirms; rendering/texture toggles persist correctly

All Bloxstrap Engine Tweaks

Verm does not allow you to bypass the (reasonable and justified) restrictions the Vinegar team has put on Sober's ability to load APKs that are modified.

If you really cheat on Roblox, I'd say you should reconsider your life decisions than anything.
Verm is not associated with the VinegarHQ team or Roblox, nor is it endorsed by them!

• GTK4 + Libadwaita GUI to modify settings
• GTK4-based FFlag editor that is easy to use
• Rich presence
• Server region notifier
• Game overlay
• If you're not a fan of GUIs, we provide a nifty configuration file that does the same thing! (located at ~/.config/verm/config.toml, or you can run verm edit-config!)
• Managing Sober

Whilst not a feature you use directly, verm also caches API calls whenever it can in order to save bandwidth and resources.

The verm icon is made by AshtakaOOf. It is located here.
You are free to use it wherever you want.

verm provides the following optional patches. All of them go under the tweaks section in your configuration.

oldOof = true

Both OTFs and TTFs are supported.

font = "/path/to/your/font.ttf"

sun = "/path/to/sun.jpeg"
moon = "/path/to/moon.jpeg"

This one goes in the client section!

[client]
backend = "x11" # or "wayland", "wl". This is case insensitive.

You will need the following dependencies to compile verm:

pacman -S gtk4 libadwaita nim git libcurl

dnf install gtk4-devel libadwaita-devel git libcurl-devel

You can get nim from the Terra repository

apt install gtk4 libadwaita-1-0 libadwaita-1-dev git libcurl4-openssl-dev

Debian ships an old version of Nim that is not compatible with verm, install Nim here

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y libgtk-4-1 libgtk-4-dev libadwaita-1-0 libadwaita-1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev git build-essential
curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh
choosenim stable
nim -v

There's no Nix flake yet.

$ git clone https://github.com/vermingov/lucem
$ cd verm
$ nix-shell

The package names are similar for other distributions.

You might encounter Dependency Version errors, this should fix that.

nimble refresh; rm -rf ~/.nimble/pkgcache ~/.nimble/pkgs2/{owlkettle,nanovg,nimgl,x11,curly,zippy,pretty,semver,jsony,toml_serialization}
nimble install owlkettle@#3.0.0 toml_serialization@#0.2.14 nimgl@#1.3.2 nanovg@#v0.4.0 x11@#1.2 curly@#1.1.1 zippy@#0.10.16 pretty@#0.2.0 semver@#v1.2.3 jsony@#1.1.5

Run the following command to compile verm.

$ nimble install https://github.com/vermingov/lucem

Please make sure to attach the logs that verm generates. Also, please run verm with the verbose flag (verm run -v) and submit that log as it contains crucial debugging informationt.

$ verm shell

$ verm edit-config

This will open the configuration file in your preferred editor. Your configuration will immediately be validated after you exit the editor.

$ verm run

$ verm meta

$ verm clear-cache

$ verm install-desktop-files

$ verm install-systemd-service

The nimble binary folder is not in your PATH, you can run:

$ export PATH=$HOME/.nimble/bin:$PATH

Add the export to your .bashrc to make it permanent.
