Spammed journalctl by kwin_wayland

I installed bazzite a week ago. Sometimes I get sudden black screen and reboots. The only thing I could find in my journalctl is kwin_wayland errrors bot a lot of them: `0x500: GL_INVALID_ENUM error generated. Invalid <face>. Invalid framebuffer status: "GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_MISSING_ATTACHMENT" 0x502: GL_INVALID_OPERATION error generated. <image> and <target> are incompatible...

how to change where a non steam game is putting its save data?

im trying to get elden ring seamless co op up and running so i followed the install instructions and added ersc launcher to steam as a non steam game forced proton experimental everything is working fine but for some reason instead of read/writing to this path /run/media/system/1TB_Tforce/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1245620/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561199157787603/ as it should, it instead read/writes to this path /home/bazzite/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2567252804/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561199157787603/ ...
Solution:
either use STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH or symlink the folder

First off, I appreciate all the info that is available here. I am brand new to Linux, bazzite specifically. Coming from MacOS but playing DS3 on Win10 through a dual boot.

If there is anything else I need to do, please let me know. :clueless:...

Hi, I'm having trouble changing my screen resolution because Bazzite can't change it

I need help changing my screen resolution. Bazzite only gives me the option of 640 x 480, but my monitor can have a resolution of 1366 x 768 and that option doesn't appear. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it....

bazaar completely broken, won't launch. Flatpaks also have issues

Attempted to open Spotify flatpak. It did not launch and returned no errors. I tried to open Bazaar to take a look at this and uninstalled, reinstalled Spotify through Bazaar. After Spotify still didn't work, I restarted my PC and now Bazaar doesn't work at all. When attempting to launch Bazaar it shows this error: Could not retrieve remote content: No remotes could be synchronized: flathub failed because: Failed to synchronize appstream data for remote 'flathub': Error deploying appstream: Error moving file /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/flathub/x86_64/.b676e9d928fcdd9722900f5854564996b39d68b29eb1ae8ea7a77731f7f0c31f-18cbab864d9c8e8c2ef024614c1420ef4b3dccf61d0c7b5e031edf40508a3412-5hjXvS: File exists...
Solution:
If that doesn't work try sudo flatpak repair --reinstall-all which should also reinstall the appstream data from flathub. Hopefully that will fix it....

Switch to desktop mode does not function.

Hi, whenever I click on "Switch to Desktop" I get a black screen, and it switches back to gaming mode after a few seconds. Desktop mode was working yesterday, I made no changes to my system since then other than a system update. I'm on build Stable (F43.20251102).

Bluetooth mouse is choppy when bluetooth controller is NOT connected

Hi, I’ve been using Bazzite for a week now with no wireless issue so far. My Logitech LIFT bluetooth mouse is buttery smooth. Not as much as my wired G502 Hero, but still really good. I recently connected my Xbox bluetooth controller (model 1914), and now, whenever the controller is disconnected from Bluetooth, my mouse becomes very laggy/choppy (it feels like the polling rate dropped from 100 Hz to 5-10 Hz). My wired mouse is unaffected....

Issues with Razer Leviathan and audio levels

Hello! I’ve recently switched from windows to Bazzite, and I’ve having some issues with my Razer leviathan soundbar. My audio levels when maxed out to 100% are really quiet. It seems like it’s 30-40% of what it would be on windows. I’ve checked the sound settings, tried different USB ports. Turning on the option to set my volume past 100% causes my audio quality to drop significantly. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thank you!...

blank window when launching Vivado

I've had vivado working before, and when I switch to X11 it does work but I'd like to keep using wayland because I'm on the ROG Flow Z13 and wayland works better with my stylus. I'm pretty confident this is a visual glitch considering it shows the right loading screen when launching and asks if I'm sure I want to exit when I go to close the window like it should, and ofc it works just fine in X11. This is how I launch it: enter vivadoBox -- /home/norahdos/Xilinx/2025.1/Vivado/bin/vivado Also this looks like it might be the same problem as this: https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1287035301927059497 Operating System: Bazzite 43 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.1...

Select Flatpak app stops working no error message

I've tried running from terminal and nothing happens. I didn't update my system, the flatpak just randomly won't run now. I uninstalled and reinstalled the exact same flatpack on Bazaar still won't open now.
Solution:
it seems the app updated and the new version's flatpack just wasn't working. Updating to the old version and stopping automatic updates fixed it.

Running MelonLoader for SMT3

To summarize what is happening, I have been trying to set up MelonLoader for Shin Megami Tensei III on Steam (app ID = 1413480) by following the instructions on the MelonLoader wiki. (SMT3 is an Il2Cpp game, and specifically requires version 0.6.0 on MelonLoader.) Without fail, the game crashes on startup. Initially, this was due to .NET not being installed for it (which I managed to do, though Protontricks was having no end of trouble finding its Proton installation.) Now, after all of the mods are loaded, the MelonLoader console prints a few things, and the game crashes again. I have no way of knowing what it prints just before the crash since this happens so quickly. I'm not 100% sure if SMT3 is 32-bit or 64-bit, but the fact that the store page says the game needs a 64-bit operating system suggests the latter. The game will load fine if MelonLoader is not installed, but that's not why I'm here. What else should I try?...

Missing program icon

I downloaded bazzite-nvidia-open-stable-amd64.iso for V-Box on the 8th and it installed and ran fine. I then did a System Update on the 10th of Nov 25 and certain icons in the panel get removed. Ok the update removed them but one icon in the panel was a white papper icon. Clicked on it and program doesn't exist for that icon. It was linked to org.kde.discover.desktop I mean the update was 5 Gigs with 70 updates and then Flatpak and Brew and so on. Anything could go wrong. ...

VRChat stuck in "Waiting..." on some worlds when using Steam Link VR, but fine when in desktop?

When you launch VRChat in SteamVR via Steam Link, and go into a world, the screen gets stuck on: "waiting...". You can hear the game audio in the background, but the game becomes completely unresponsive. However, it seems to work in completely plain worlds, like the performance ones where its just an empty cube? But, when you open it in "desktop mode" outside of VR, it works perfectly fine in all worlds? Very odd....

Fullscreen games freezing

The latest stable version of Bazzite is causing the monitor to freeze when playing certain games in full screen. Going back a version or switching to windowed (with Alt+Enter) resolves this issue temporarily. The affected games include Warframe & Helldivers 2. ...

Game Mode Mouse Cursor on 4K Monitor

I'm unsure if this is bug. I'm looking for a solution for making the mouse cursor in game mode larger when using a 4k monitor. Currently it's microscopic. I've adjusted the cursor size on desktop mode, and that works fine, but those changes don't carry over to game mode. This is an issue for some games that use the mosue cursor, as they maintain the system cursor size, making them nearly unplayable using game mode.

Bazzite running slowly and only booting when usb stick and external drive plugged in.

Hi! My Bazzite boots and runs extremely slowly and it only boots if the usb stick with iso and my external hard drive is plugged in. Im completely new to linux and i am not knowledgable with computers in general so if any more information is needed please ask.

How to disable middle click on touchpad completely?

The problem is probably rooted in how my Asus touchpad is handled, every linux distribution I've tried reads my touchpad as the left 33% should left click, the middle 33% should middle click, and the right 33% should right click. Coming from Windows, I'd expect the left 50% to left click, and the right 50% to right click, and no middle click at all. Bazzite is the only thing that could come close to fixing this. The system setting "Press left and right buttons to middle-click" actually changes t...
