Can't switch to light mode entirely in Bazzite Gnome

Hi, I have a fresh Bazzite Gnome install and I noticed that if I disable dark mode in Gnome (either from the widget in the top bar or in the Appearence settings) I get light mode in some apps (Gnome Files, Firefox and other Gnome Apps) but I still have other apps stuck in dark mode, such as Libreoffice, Qbittorrent, the top bar of the Signal app and the widgets in the top bar of the shell (such as the calendar). I tried disabling some Gnome extensions but nothing still. Does anyone know what's h...

wifi stops working after first restart (realtek rtl8821ce)

i have just installed bazzite and it’s been really amazing so far. I took a break and my computer automatically suspended, after wake up i see no wifi networks being scanned (strange…?) after that i tried restarting but i now see no wireless device (disappears from ‘ip a s’) i did absolutely nothing before this...
Solution:
because the issue isnt the distro, its the card and/or realtek

GPD Win Max no wifi

Please help solving Gnome multitouch touchscreen :coolfingergunscry:

I have been fighting it in like 4 distros straight: Fedora, Kubuntu, Manjaro, and now here too. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X390 Yoga. It has 4 mouse-adjacent inputs: - The signature trackpoint: works flawlessly in Bazzite; - The multitouch touchpad: works flawlessly in Bazzite Gnome, including 3-finger gestures; - The active Wacom pen: it gets treated as a mouse instead of a pen, very annoying trying to draw in Krita, even if pressure sensing gets passed through properly, but generally mostly tolerable;...

Consistently failed to install Bazzite on a multi boot EFI (ESP) partition with generic code 1

1GB ESP partition is first with FAT32 filesystem and GPT partition table, already installed Debian and PopOs, for Bazzite is 128GB for / partition with ext4 and 16GB for swap, ¿What I'm doing wrong different from others distribution instralllations? Please guide me to an installation documentation as complete as possible, or tell me some hint. Thank you in advance.

Both Bazzite and Silverblue crash during install

I'm trying to set up a dual boot system across two nvme drives (each drive has its own EFI partition - one drive Windows, the other Linux). This works fine on more classic Linux distros like regular Fedora, Ubuntu, and stuff. But both Bazzite and Silverblue fail to install. The Anaconda installer crashes at the stage where it starts unpacking the OS image. I use manual partitioning to manually set the partitions I want for /, /boot/efi/, and /var/log/. The formatting stage appears to work, then it crashes while unpacking/copying the OS image. The big reason for the two drive setup is to make it harder for Windows to screw something up (short answer). 😛 Again, this drive/partition setup has worked super well in the past so I'm at a loss why it would suddenly fail on an immutable distro. Any advice or hints would be appreciated....

External Controller Bug?

Hello, For some reason, every time I first boot into Bazzite, my bluetooth controllers will connect to the system just fine, but ONLY work with the HHD overlay. Using any of the buttons on the controller don't do anything, unless I open the HHD overlay and the HHD overlay reads the controller inputs just fine, but not Steam Game Mode....

Need help with Block Caribou

Hi everyone, I’m new to Linux and bazzite and I’m currently trying to get the onscreen keyboard to be disabled. I have bazzite 42 installed on my GPD win 4 and I don’t want the virtual keyboard to pop up so I can just use the physical keyboard when I’m in games. I downloaded the extension manager in desktop mode and looked for block caribou but it says all versions are unsupported. Not able to install them at all. My version of GNOME is 48. I have no idea what I’m supposed to do but all I want i...

How i can contribute with the tanslation (bazzite heandeld)?

Good morning everyone, I searched the wiki and the website but couldn't find how to contribute with translations. I would like to start translating Bazzite for Heandeld into Italian. Does anyone know where I can find a form or the usual website for contributing translations?

Bazzite steam update loop

I keep getting into this update loop where bazzite opens in desktop and tries to update steam. I have run reset fix, updated, done all sorts of tricks but this keeps coming up. The update always ends in a desktop steam login screen. It's a real pain. Quite close to switching is because this is making it unusable. It's a shame because it got xg mobile to work with it on ally very well

How to replace pipewire?

No network connection and no access to AstrillVPN

Bazaar infinitely loading, how to change mirrors?

So I updated Bazzite to start using Bazaar and it just keeps infinitely loading. I'm on KDE AMD with gamescope. I believe this may be caused because I'm in China and the download server for Bazaar might be blocked by the great firewall of china. Is there a way to change my mirror to switch download repositories? Discover worked fine but Bazaar is giving me a headache. Alternative would be installing AstrillVPN to bypass the firewall but the latest update to Bazzite seems to have broken it. It gives me an error that says "ASProxy component has insufficient privilege. Please reinstall the program"....

Edit FSTAB from live USB?

I did a really bad dumb. I setup a cache SSD drive for a large capacity HDD using lvm cache, and then set auto mounting rules for it in /etc/fstab. Unfortunatly I set it to mount with the "defaults" tag, causing the system to hang without the drives needed for the lv_cache. I didn't realize I had done something so dumb until later. After a power loss (system force shut itself off because of bad overclock) the cache became corrupted which causes the system to drop me into emergency mode EXTREMELY...
Solution:
NVM I am still dumb. Just needed to mount the btrfs volume as R/W

Booting failed?

This is the only error, and i dont know what i should do
Solution:
@Tanfa set the label of your FAT32 partition to "BAZZITE". Then on boot menu, hit "e" instead of booting and change bazzite-x86_64-stable whatever to "BAZZITE"

Bazzite launch in emergency mode after switching ram

Hi all, I havent got any luck searching for this problem. The closest I could find was this post but it hasnt been much help. Basically: my drive is an encrypted btrfs, and after get some new ram sticks Bazzite has not been booting (or rather after asking for the encryption key, went into emergency mode after 5 min or loading). My other drive has windows and boots to desktop. Ive tried the solution from the video in the thread i linked, but on top of not booting into bash, im not able to find the etc/fstab file while in emergency mode command line....
