input-remapper stopped injecting with recent update

Have been using input-remapper for months now, simple Razer mouse with 2 side buttons, mapping them to shift_L and ctrl_l for quick action bar usage on MMOs. auto-loads on login/reboot and no issues until today. "ujust-update" today was all but 2 chunks, and afterwards input-remapper appears to be "working" except that in the preset you can see it's stuck in "Starting injection...". It sees my inputs, preset adds remaps just fine - just stuck on "injecting". "sudo pkill -f input-remapper" from the internet did not work...
Solution:
tested with the last release, that works !

Really weird question about text files.

How do I create new .txt files with a right click in Bazzite? I'm strange in that I tend to write a lot, and traditionally my preferred program to write in was notepad. Not plus, not a .doc, not an .rtf, the original .txt notepad. Old-old school. Bazzite seems fine opening the files I already have, but I don't know how to make new ones....
Solution:
don't need the \ s if you use 's or "s (touch ~/Templates/'Empty text file.txt')

Random (?) Freezes a bit after logging in

Like in title, the system works fine (except for my second display darkening contrast [goes back to normal after replug]) but after a few minutes the system freezes, the screen and everything stays on. I can't do anything other than reboot. I've had other issues similar to this but now its worse. I've also got a few concerns 1. There are 2 boot drives, as in it shows 2 identical boot devices (not dualbooting btw) It also shows:...

9070 XT Frame Gen Issue (Bazzite)

Hi, i am playing Cronos: The New Dawn on bazzite. I get 70-80 fps without frame gen which feels buttery smooth. When I enable frame gen my fps jumps to 120-130 but the actual visual smoothnes look like 40 fps. It feels like generated frames are not in between but duplicates hence the loss of smoothness. How can I fix it? I tried to google it but couldn't find something useful. Thanks for your help. Kind regards....

Video output lost when gaming

Hello, I've recently had random crashes happening on different games. No pattern identified, it sometimes happen after a few minutes of gaming, sometimes after a few hours. Here are the logs before the latest crash Any idea of what could be the issue ?...

Both Wayland and X11 dumps core in gaming after random time (1h+) - Desktop PC AMD Radeon card

I've recently updated to Radeon 9070xt, rebased the system from nvidia-open to bazzite. Everything looked great, started extensively using the PC and ... ye every so often i get a crash while gaming. On Wayland it just hangs the system and i need to power off the PC to restart. So I thought it's Wayland issue. I've layered on X11, same thing happened - luckly this just boots me back to log-in screen. I've attached journal logs from X11 and Xwayland. I've also disconnected my second monitor (as i thought it might be the issue) - so that's not the case ๐Ÿ™ Any suggestions? This might be a faulty card (as it's the new thing in the system) - if so, how do i check for that?...
Solution:
Tried to replicate the issue yesterday and today. Looks like it's gone, so it's either: - bazzite 43 update - unlayering X11 - swithing to different monitor (from old 144 to new 180Hz) - disabling vencord hardware acceleration...

New Bazzite install won't wake from sleep

Hi everyone. Just installed Bazzite on an older machine and loving it so far. I have noticed that when I put my machine to sleep, I'm not able to get it to wake. I've tried pressing the physical power key, using the keyboard, and using the mouse, but cannot get it to wake. Is there a setting I am missing here? The machine was able to wake up from sleep when it had Windows as the OS.

Too many open files crashing kwin_wayland

I have seen multiple crashes in the last 1-2 days, all mentioning too many open files. These crashes kill kwin_wayland with a segfault, and the stack trace always mentions libspa-videoconvert.so, though that might be a red herring. ```Oct 27 14:28:29 DESKTOP-VV1DUT5 plasmashell[2080]: qt.qpa.wayland: eglSwapBuffers failed with 0x3000, surface: 0x5624a365d5f0...

Zram, Zswap, Swap, and Hibernation

Hello! I have been looking into enabling hibernation. Have discovered that Bazzite uses Zram to do active compression in RAM as swap. From what I have been reading it should be possible to have both Zram and a traditional swap at the same time, with the Zram taking priority, and then setting up things in grub such that when hibernating the swap is used (for obvious reasons)...

Low audio volume with UMC204HD

I've installed the latest Bazzite from ISO last night. I'm on a desktop PC, and my primary audio interface is a Behringer UMC204HD. Right now I'm dual-booting Windows and Bazzite just to test things out. The primary issue I'm experiencing is a somewhat low maximum audio volume. When I'm booted into Windows, my audio interface gets incredibly loud. At 100% it's loud enough to host a small concert if I were so inclined! Critically, even at 100% volume in Windows it's exceptionally loud with no distortion whatsoever. The sound is crystal clear. However, when I'm booted into Bazzite, even at 100% volume, it's roughly equivalent to ~25-30% on Windows. I've tried a few different things to fix this:...
Solution:
For folks that may stumble on this thread: I installed QasMixer and it was able to directly control the UMC204HD. Once I maxed out the sliders, my audio is loud again!

Can't mount SMB folder

Hi, I'm trying to mount a folder from a NAS with fstab, but the target folder is still empty. Anyone would have a guide or something for someone that never touched Bazzite (and Linux in general) for this please ? ;_; Thank you !...

8bitdo ultimate 2c controller not working with the 2.4g dongle inside games

Hello guys, I have an issue with my controller. Im ussing bazzite gnome and whenever I enter a game, the 8bitdo controller won't register any input in-game. It does register input in steam menu, but nothing in the games. The bluetooth connection and the xbox series controller works in the exact same setup without any issue, it's just the dongle. Please let me know if I can provide any other details...

Google Meets disconnects all audio and mic temporarily

Hello. When I enter google meets and press "Allow" in my browser to give microphone permissions, after a short delay (could be a few seconds to a minute), I lose all audio, and my microphone doesn't work anymore. If I try to enter Sound settings during this time, it will not find any audio whatsoever. If I try to play music or a video, it will simply not play and continue to load until the problem resolves itself (which it does after I exit the google meeting). Any program related to audio, whether music app or browser frequently freezes (Not Responding) while this error is occurring, and it often lasts for several issues. I have tried several browsers and I have tried restarting my PC multiple times. My microphone works perfectly if I test it with an audio recording software, in games or on Discord. ...

PC will not wake up from sleep mode

In the title essentially Basically, new to Bazzite os. Dual booter, and I tried to go into sleep mode for the night. Fast forward to morning I tried to wake it up and press the power button physically just like on Windows, doesn't work. I try moving the mouse and pressing keys, nothing worked. The PC was on, the lights the keyboard the mouse but I couldn't wake it up so I had to force a shutdown. I can easily replicate on my machine. Im pretty much done with Bazzite if I cant figure this out as this is pretty important for me. I have a Logitech G915 KB and a PRO WIRELESS mouse from Logitech, don't know if that'll help but im running on Nvidia too...

GPU Driver crash 7900XTX, Black Screen, 100% fan spin, but can still hear audio.

So I can't find a specific situation where this occurs. It has happened instantly after boot, after hours of gaming, as soon as I launched a game, opening the terminal etc. I do have some logs but I'm not sure they capture the crash itself. This happened randomly after trying to fix an unrelated audio problem for streaming. I've had this exact machine and setup for over a year and this has jsut kind of appeared. Happy to expand on what you need!

Cannot boot to Bazzite after the installation.

I have used Linux before, but this problem has never happened to me before. After installing Bazzite, I get the โ€œMOKโ€ screen, so I enter the password from the Bazzite wiki because even though my computer is quite old, it did have secureboot. After restarting, I get an error message: error: ../../ grub-core/disk/efi/efidisk.c:625 failure reading sector 0x0 from โ€œhd1โ€ (and sometimes โ€œhd2โ€) I tried to repair grub and disable CSM (but I couldn't do that because my graphics card doesn't support UEFI)...

Installation Destination with my 2TB D: drive showing 1.05MiB free, unallocated 800gb in windows

I'm new to installing Bazzite, let alone dual booting windows & allocating space. I left 802.88gb unallocated on the windows side. and there is still no way to make it visible in the linux side. All there is installed on the D: drive is Steam games & other old games.
