Xbox Controller Audio

Can I use my xbox controller's audio jack through usb like it does in windows? xone apparently supports it and it's said to be pre-packaged with bazzite, so it should work, no?

How to configure buttons on G502 Hero?

I've tried both Piper and Solaar. Solaar is a confusing mess and doesn't seem to do anything. Piper successfully sets some buttons but not others and seems to set the others with "shift+key" instead of just "key". Any ideas?

Bazzite Download 404s

I'm looking to try out Bazzite with a Live ISO, but the download link throws a 404 error. My choices for the download are ASUS Laptop, Nvidia (RTX Series), KDE, and traditional desktop experience. The link to Download bazzite-asus-nvidia-open works, but Download bazzite-asus-nvidia-open Live ISO (BETA) leads to a link that 404s, telling me "This object does not exist or is not publicly accessible at this URL". I'm not running any spicy extensions or a vpn, and other downloads work just fine, exc...

Discord keyboard shortcuts don't work when window isn't in focus.

My discord toggle mute bind doesn't work anymore unless discord is the window in focus. I'm on GNOME. Anyone else seeing this behavior? Wondering if it's an issue with a recent discord update or something else.

Sunshine unable to use HW encoding

Hello! My server uses a GTX 980 ti so it's rather old, but it should definitely be able to encode with at least h264. I tested ffmpeg and it worked without any issues: ```bazzite@bazzite:~$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -f lavfi -i testsrc2 -t 3 -c:v h264_nvenc -f null - Input #0, lavfi, from 'testsrc2': Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A...

Terrible Audio Crackling in Indie Games

Several indie games I have tried has terrible audio crackling. It's reactive to game audio, but it plays this crackling instead of actual game audio. It seems to only happen to indie games. Maybe related to Unity, but it doesn't happen to all unity games, so I don't know. It sadly makes the game unplayable as I can't hear any real sounds form the game, and it's really tiring. I have tried a few launch options like PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 %command% with different values, but no luck. Any clue? I attached a video of how it sounds, it's the same sound for all games. Any clue? All other sounds still sound normal while this is happening....

Solution:

Update: I managed to fix this, I realized no one else was having this problem, figured it must be something unique to me. And it was. I have my headphones connected to a preamp, and in Linux's sound settings, instead of selecting the preamp's sound profile I set it to "Default Alsa Profile".

Fixing grub after reinstall...

I reinstalled the Bazzite Partition in a Dual Boot, but I think it overwrote the efi partition and now I can't get grub to recognize the Windows Partition. I still see the partition with the files inside, but ujust regenerate-grub isn't finding it. How do I fix this?...

Screen Issues in deck mode

Hey guys! I'm having a problem. I installed Bazzite last night, and every time a notification pops up or I adjust the volume (like you see in the video), the screen distorts. I enabled the 'Force composition' option in developer options, it goes completely black. Is there any way to fix this?

Deck image will not boot, stuck at Started ModemManager.service

The deck images cannot complete booting. They get stuck at the point shown in the screenshot. This only happens with the deck images, if I rebase to a desktop image, it boots fine. This is a HTPC so I would prefer the deck set up. I have had this issue ever since Fedora 42. I have a Fedora 41 image pinned and I have been using that since. I have a Ryzen 5 and a Radeon RX 6600. ...

Drawing Tablet mismatched to Steam Deck screen (plus question about creating backup versions of OS)

I have a steam deck with Bazzite installed and I want to make it a more portable art machine. I have a small One by Wacom tablet I plug in. When it's connected to an external monitor it works perfectly out of the box. But when connected to the deck by itself, there's an issue. If I move the stylus up, the mouse cursor goes left. I'm pretty sure this is because the Deck's display is a vertical one rotated 90°. Going into the regular settings (KDE version of bazzite) none of the settings change this behavior. How do I fix this? Bonus question: I've been recommended to download OpenTabletDriver and disable the built-in tablet drivers. I'm down for that, but I want to make sure that, in case I break something in my computer, I want to be able to quickly undo it and bring it back to normal. How do I set up a backup/recovery thing like that?...

Helldivers 2

Hello there! Did anyone manage to get Helldivers 2 working on Steam? Whenever I try to start the game, the Button switches from "Start" to "Running" and then suddenly drops back to "Start" and turns green again. I am an absolute Newbe and I have no plan... ^^...

Bazaar background missing

Hello everyone, I have installed bazaar on a arch linux system straight up from gnome's software application and it opens and works just fine when installing or removing software using it (bazaar). An issue I do have though is the splash or beginning page is transparent and can see things behind it. I had setup previously in flatseal for my flatpaks to universally use my adwaita dark theme but even when removing the entry it still shows a transparent background. I am using version 0.5.8 (vcs=7af...

Chrome doesn't connect to websites, despite network working in other applications

Hello, I have a pretty much fresh installation of bazzite(desktop install version, KDE), on my new hardware (a PC with Ryzen 9700x and RTX5080), I have both wifi connected and an ethernet cable plugged in. If I run curl, or use steam, both have internet connection, however websites in chrome and firefox didn't load I've since set firefox to ignore system proxy settings, and after that it started loading websites normally, while in chrome problem persists (since there isn't an analogous setting)...

Solution:

It seems to work better after few days, one thing that was also blocking webpages from showing was actually KDE wallet popup, that would pop out after boot, and all internet activity in chrome would wait until password was put in. So it might have also been that

Help locating source of install !!

Folks please bear with me here. My laptop has in the past gone from Fedora through Silverblue, Kinote and now Bazzite. Yesterday thanks to this kind group I used both rpm-ostree reset forrlowed by a rebase to ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-dx-nvidia:stable. I now seem to have a stable system again. I need to get my act together to install & manage apps/packages more efficiently (or should i say correctly..so I am working my way through https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software) I had too many packages layered which was causing issues hence the need to reset & I THOUGHT I only used rpm-ostree & flatpak to install software BUT I have software installed (specifically Blender 4.2.2LTS & Firefox) and have no clue at all which method was used to install them.. Whats the best method to track this down ? No sign of them using sudo flatpak list.. Im stumped...

Solution:

in addition, to make sure you don't have leftover .desktop files, you will also want to check out ~/.local/share/applications. blender and firefox might have created desktop entries, which can potentially conflict if you decide to install the flatpak versions

How do I RDP into my Ally with Bazzite?

I thought this would be as simple as: 1. Enable RDP in Bazzite (done) 2. Add a username that's allowed Step 2 is impossible. I can click the "Add User" but there is no way it lets me select and input text in the Username and/or Password field....

Bazzite Installed on Intel Based MacBook... And Terminal Won't Open.

I recently installed Bazzite on a 2013(?) MacBook, which is Intel based. After installation, I attempted to run the system update, open terminal, open the store... And nothing will open. Not even a flash on the screen. I can open Firefox just fine, even steam, but nothing that seems to be directly related to the OS. Any ideas?

Steam login issue with -steamdeck flag on Bazzite

I'm experiencing a persistent login issue with Steam. After extensive troubleshooting, I've isolated the problem. Summary: -Launching Steam from the desktop icon (steam-bazzite) forces a login every time after a reboot. -Launching it directly with /usr/bin/steam from a terminal works correctly and saves my credentials. -I've confirmed that the issue is caused by the -steamdeck parameter. Running /usr/bin/steam -steamdeck manually also fails to save my login....
