🎮bazzite

My graphics card keeps with led on and fan running when I put bazzite to sleep

I'm not sure where to look for clues on how to solve it but it's really annoying since it keeps the pc warm and is noisy.
I tried echo GPP0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup + reboot with no success. system info:...

Sound randomly stopped working.

Rebooted my PC and all devices are gone except one HDMI probably monitor but no sound plays, infact no music or video player (including browser) seems to want to play anything now. Shutdown/reboot is now also delayed. Logs attached...

Bazzite feels a little slow

PipeWire + Proton game crashes audio

Audio works flawlessly for all apps and programs, including native Linux games (TF2 for example), however, loading into a Proton game makes the audio stop working from my computer entirely. Audio only comes back after I disconnect the skin with qpwgraph which leaves me with no in-game audio but the rest works. Audio does work if I Alt+Tab out of the game and reconnect the pipe, but immediately stops after focusing on the game again....

Can/should I import Lenovo Legion power plans from Windows?

My laptop (well, pretty much any modern Lenovo Legion) has 3 hardware level power modes: Quiet, Balance, and Performance modes. By default, Legion laptops use Lenovo's custom powerplan, and changes automatically when changing the hardware-level power modes. Any chance I could port them over to Bazzite?...

Second monitor freezing

Hey guys, I'm a new user and a pretty big Linux noob. I've been hanging out on Bazzite for a few days now and stuff mostly works fine, but whenever I play any video game on main monitor I can't interact with my second monitor anymore. Like when I try to open a new tab on FireFox nothing visually happens, but after I close the game I do see new empty tabs. So it does register clicks but it doesn't visually do anything while a game is running. I've looked through the posts here but couldn't really find anything....

Steam game recording videos not playing back correctly

Hey this is a really minor issue and i have a workaround but it's annoying enough to want to get it sorted. Basically whenever my friend shares a steam game recording with me on discord, i cannot play it, it plays sound but not video. If i open it in vivaldi my browser of choice it does the same, but on firefox it plays fine, i can also download it and play it in haruna just fine....

steam acting hella sus on bazzite-dx

this is a fresh new system. I literally haven't installed anything cause bazaar doesn't work cause I am in a banned country. first steam spammed me with "Do you want to participate in hardware survey?", where I press "yes", and after 5 seconds I get it again, and it ended after a reboot. Then it started showing me that it needs to install something for a gamepad and restart, except I don't have a gamepad. Then it closed itself for no reason, except it failed to close so it was just in a dimmed state. Then after a reboot I do nothing and it opens a steam window saying "how would you like to change your email adress?"....
Solution:
Maybe try a fresh reinstall of Steam. You can use the terminal ujust command ujust fix-reset-steam

Extremely slow boot times

New to Linux - please be patient with me! Since installing Bazzite on my HP Omen 17 recently (dual-booting on the same drive as a Windows install, has a Nvidia GPU), the boot times have become extremely slow. From pressing the power button: 1. 25 seconds to get to Grub (this delay doesn't always happen) 2. +1:25 after Grub to get to the Omen logo...

Help using a USB GPS device

Hi there, I've just purchased a VK-162 GPS device form Aliexpress. It's a USB GPS device that I want to use with GNOME maps. I'm struggling to make it visible to the flatpak, unsure whether it's to expose the USB hardware, or systemd gpsd to the flatpak. Or whether it's flatpak xdg in Flatseal/KDE flatpak permissions.

Screen Share in gamemode

Hey there! So this is a bit of a weird question but how does one screen share on discord with bazzite in gamemode? I have the shortcuts set up and I am using equicord but the screen share comes up as black. Unsure if that is because it's gamescope windows or some permission with steam or something. Is there some sort of decky plugin or something I am missing? I know it's weird I just enjoy doing it this way and I am very new linux. Taken me a week to get used to things and setup just needing som...

Onexfly f1 pro black screens

I’m having an issue where if I change the tdp in HHD, then change the brightness, the screen goes black. Onexplayer onexfly f1 pro. Screen turns back on if I hibernate/wake. If I don’t change the tdp, screen brightness works just fine....

Slow boot times.

I’m using a Ryzen 9800X3D cpu with 32GB DDR5 6000 RAM, I have a Powercolor Hellhound 9070 XT gpu and I’m booting from a 2 TB WD BLACK SN850X M.2. Booting from a full shutdown or restart takes 1:45 or longer. Pressing esc during boot gives me this error and hangs for about 50 seconds before finally booting (with a few systemd errors). ...
Solution:
Try running systemd-analyze blame which will show which services are taking long to start up. You can get much more details by running systemd-analyze plot > ~/boot-times.svg which will make an svg image in your home folder with a plot of the boot time with lots of details
