Bazzite randomly stops working

After having my PC turned on for a bit a lot of things just stop working. When I try to open Dolphin I get the error code below. Other symptoms include games not opening, discord crashing and webpages not loading. It doesn't always make all of these things happen, except for the warning when trying to open dolphin. I've had this happening for a couple weeks, but it seems to be happening more frequently. The past couple of days it has been happening at least once a day. Restarting my PC fixes the problem, but its getting really annoying having to restart whenever my PC decides to stop working. I'm using bazzite as a desktop OS, ryzen 5600x + 3060ti...

Default groups for user?

Hi, I messed up my system a bit and I'm wondering what the default groups for an administrator level user should be? User group and wheel group I've added back, but are there any others I should have in Bazzite?

Solution:

I have "bazzite wheel input" think input group is for better controller support.

Update rpm package via .rpm file ?

Hi everyone. I'm newer on bazzite (and fedora too) and I don't known if it's possible to update a rpm package via a .rpm file. I've a GoXLR so I need drivers. I've found this repo so i've installed via rpm-ostree install file_downloaded.rpm....

Solution:

Im pretty sure you have to remove the old installed rpm first, then install the new rpm

Trying (failing) to install openrazer

Hello there! I recently took the plunge into linux with Bazzite. I've been trying to install openrazer so that I can use Polychromatic and RazerGenie. My devices are working at a basic level, but they aren't being detected by the OpenRazer daemon (v3.10.3). For reference, I have a razer Naga Trinity (mouse) and a Huntsman (keyboard). I tried following the instructions on the openrazer website. I've been trying to use chatGPT. Nothing is working for me, so I'd like to ask all you experienced folk for some help. I'm happy to provide any information to help!...

How do I install .NET 6.0

I'm using a .exe in Bottles that requires me to have .NET 6.0 installed. How do I do that on Linux? Also, do I have to install 6.0 specifically? I know it's been discontinued for a while.

When switching from desktop mode to gaming mode screen turns black and I'm brought back to desktop

Hey guys, after recently updating my bazzite install when I try go to desktop and then try to go back to gaming mode all my monitors turn black and after a while I'm brought back to desktop mode, then a steam update launches and I have to log into steam again, this happens even under game scope on the occasion I reboot. The only way to get back into gaming mode is by rebooting the entire PC. I'm using the bazzite-deck image and am currently on a 3 monitor setup: one 1080p 144hz free sync monitor; one 1200p 60hz monitor l, no vrr or hdr; a 4k 120hz tv HDR and vrr both turned on over HDMI 2.1. Haven't had any problems under game scope, issue only happens when trying to switch from desktop to gaming mode. ...

xdotool remote control requested

Howdy. I'm trying to use Bazzite as a Steam streaming box on a laptop. I have Steam set to auto start, but the mouse cursor starts in the middle of the screen. I'm trying to run an xdotool script on startup to move the cursor to the corner, but this isn't working because KDE is forcing a pop-up asking for remote control every time the first xdotool script is run on restart. Anyone know how to fix this or work around it? I've seen several other people have the issue but no solutions....

Weird texture malformation/z-fighting

What is it with the z-fighting and how can I properly debug its cause? I just launched this "Gunsmith Simulator" game through steam/proton. And I noticed that the textures are absolutely fucked.. I took that screenshot where the texture malformation was in its strongest shape. I don't know if the games I'm playing are cursed but I tried another game "Mafia II: Definitive Edition" also through steam. And I still see some weird text malformation. In both games I tried changing proton version.. I t...

Multi-monitor switching setup

Hey, I basically want the ability to have a few display profiles that I can switch between very easily (Equivilent to Win+P on Windows) so I made a few profiles using screenprofiler CMD and turned them into executables that I can click. Except for the fact that if Im trying to set the position of the displays, it's complete shit. It turns off/on the correct displays, but it never puts them in the correct place. It just puts them both over each other on the same place, making the lower res display just a corner of the larger display. Any alternatives to screenprofilercmd that work on bazzite? Or any fixes to positional issues? Im not sure if this is even a known bug, but I often have issues with the position of the monitor/display when turning them on/off....

Corrupted after install - Atari VCS

Hi, I'm trying to install Bazzite on my Atari VCS, but the whole VCS becomes corrupted after installation. I can't boot either Bazzite or AtariOS. I then have to reinstall AtariOS. I've seen people say that the latest version of AtariOS causes Bazzite to become corrupted. I've tried installing it and can see that the M2 drive that I installed with Bazzite is showing up. Has anyone got any workaround for this? Many thanks in advance....

Adjusting audio balance in gaming mode

Is there a way to adjust the audio balance system-wide while in gaming mode? I have a handheld with one speaker that outputs louder than the other so I need to adjust the levels independently. This works in desktop mode but the changes are not applied when I switch back to gaming mode. I tried a Decky Loader plugin called Volume Boost which works, but the L and R speakers go back to the same volume levels as soon as I adjust the volume using the physical buttons on the device. A way to permanently change the volume of one side would be great!...

Xbox 360 controller unable to connect, no signal to screen if reboot with controller plugged in

Trying to use my wired 360 controller on bazzite; when I plug it in, top left light blinks, and bazzite spams "USB Device connected" and "USB Device removed" back and forth on some of my USB ports, doesn't react in others. Tried restarting with it plugged in - then the entire ring is lit up green on the controller, but bazzite doesn't seem to boot?? There's never any signal to my screen. I keep having this issue where it doesn't start if certain USB items are plugged in. So I had to unplug and r...

Is it normal for Windows to reject Bazzite on the Boot Manager screen?

I tried to install Bazzite on my own notebook using Rufus and a USB stick. However, when I tried to run Bazzite through the Boot Manager, Grub simply disappeared. The point is, if I'm not mistaken, Grub was supposed to have two operating systems, right? In my case, I just wanted to migrate from Windows 10 to Bazzite Desktop, but this happened. Can anyone help me? I'm a user from Brazil, so I'm using Google Translate to write. So if you see something a little disjointed, that's probably why, okay?...

I can't install bazzite if I don't assign half or more of the soul.

When I try to install Bazzite on my 4tb SSD I get an error if I don't assign it a minimum of 1.95tb if I sign less I get an error that it can't check the storage settings, nor does it let me create the partitions manually either.

Bazzite not detecting dedicated GPU

Hi, after having good experiences with Bazzite in my Desktop I installed on my laptop too. But the problem is that the games weren't using my dedicated GPU, using the integrated instead. After doing some checks on the terminal it seems that the system is not detecting my dedicated GPU, I attached showing the problem. I used the Desktop KDE modern Nvidia image for the installation, and my dedicated GPU is an Nvidia GeForce MX150 (which is covered by the current linux driver). Updating doesn't solve the issue....
