ASUS G513qy - Black screen booting into Game Mode

Obviously I read the warning label about the whole "igpu and dgpu" Black screen issue. But I was curious if there were any work around for it. Considering this laptop sports a 6800m and a R9 5980HX I thought it would be nice to have a steam OS like system running on it. But I am curious if there are any ways to disable loading to iGPU and just dGPU but according to ASUS they didn't put a MUX switch in my laptop.

Menus from system tray (left click) randomly stop appearing

Having an issue where the menus that should appear with a left click from my system tray, as well as the main application launcher menu, will randomly stop working. Restarting my session seems to fix it for a (short) while, but it crops back up usually within a few minutes. I can't access sound, bluetooth, network, etc. settings. The screenshot is when I try to access bluetooth from the tray. If I try to open the ^ menu to get to other entries, that line goes across the whole system tray.

Layered Wireshark - Adding user to wireshark group breaks ability to add layers

I'm trying to utilize Wireshark on my Bazzite installation. I've installed it from rpm-ostree and have also gotten it to work just using my normal user account. I did this by copying out the wireshark like from /var/lib/group to /etc/group and then running a usermod -aG wireshark <username>. This works great until I attempt to utilize rpm-ostree again. When I try to add another layer or even use ujust update, it throws an error complaining about the wireshark group. I'm able to successfully use layers when I remove the wireshark group from the /etc/group file. Has anyone else seen this behavior and have a proper resolution for this?...

Partition Size Question

I have a new 4tb SSD that I'm installing Bazzite on, but I can't seem to get Bazzite's install to take only a portion of the drive. If I select automatic partitioning, does this use the ENTIRE drive for the boot partition, or does it also leave the rest of the unused space for storage? I appreciate the help, please feel free to give drive-by suggestions/answers, as I am at work and won't be able to address the issue again until ~7 PM...

Lenovo Legion Go button mapping Bazzite

I put Bazzite on my Lenovo Legion Go around 8 months back, when I installed it I noticed my start and select buttons register as the same input For example, in games where I need to pause with start or pull up map with select, it only registers select on both buttons. When I swap it in the settings, the legion space and other button on top register as two different inputs, but the start select on the bottom left still just register as one. Is there a fix? Is my problem unique? Am I dumb? Help #🛟bazzite-help #📟handhelds...

Boot time

So I just reinstalled Bazzite to change from Gnome to KDE. With gnome it took a few seconds to boot. KDE is taking like a minute. What have I done wrong? Or is this normal? Thanks...
Solution:
Fixed! KDE, boot time like 5 seconds. After telling chatgpt everything and going back and forward for a while, it came up with these as the most liekly issues. `GRUB or EFI files might be on a slightly different location or partition, and the motherboard is pausing before it finds the bootloader. ...

No module named 'PIL'

I did install it with
python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
, but get the above error message at the line "from PIL import Image" when running a VSCodium python script with the Jupyter expansion. I guess it is due to the installation path as Python is in usr/lib? While Pillow is in home/bazzite/.local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pip (python3.13). And pip is there as well due to running
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
or at least the updated version is. What are the recommended...

Can't install OpenRGB (Gear Lever not working)

I'm trying to download OpenRGB but whenever it says "click unlock then move to the app menu" and then Gear Lever boots up, it's just blank. I cannot progress. It has been like this for several reboots. I believe the same happens for EmuDeck. EDIT: Running Bazzite KDE, running AMD 9070 XT....

Mangohud suddenly decided that my terminal is a game too; cannot even close the overlay.

Honestly I am not sure how it happened. I didn't change anything, except a recent ujust update and reboot. It ignores the shortcut I use for disabling it, and even export MANGOHUD_CONFIG=no_display in my .bashrc is ignored.
Solution:
Fixed itself :Shrug:
