If anyone has any idea on how to achieve this that'd be great, if not I'm probably going to layer gnome control center lol

Screen Lock Broken on Laptop

DELL XPS 13 Plus: Yesterday, I went to help for this laptop cuz uupd said it hasn't been updated in over a month. After I got it resolved I continued to use my laptop. Later, I left my laptop to charge. When I went to check on it, I noticed it was hot, and big bold words took up the whole screen saying that the lock screen was broken and something about typing 'systemctl' I didn't see all of it as I was looking for my phone. I had wanted to take a photo of it but I couldn't find my phone. Howeve...

I have a 10G fiber card and thats what I am using as my main networking. I'm not sure if I need drivers or if there is extra configuration I need to do.

Graphics processor issue: llvmpipe

Hi! Recently installed Bazzite on a Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14" laptop. The installation / post-installation was going relatively smoothly until I was configuring around with supergfxctl / enrolling key then re-enabling secure boot. The second graphics processor sometimes appears as llvmpipe instead of my 4060 GPU. And this causes my laptop to freeze when restarting and freeze when put to sleep. What I was aiming to do was for the laptop to only utilise the igpu when on battery power and use the dgpu when plugged in. If anyone can help fix my problem, would also appreciate the means to go about doing this as well. Kind regards, User...

If you have a DRAWING TABLET read this

Your drivers might not work properly, since BAZZITE is an immutable distro, your settings for those drivers will get reset every time you start the computer. You can fix it, but we are getting into big linux tryhard territory, and we just want things to work™. Drivers try to install things in /etc/ by default or inside folders that get wiped every restart. I learned this the hard way with XPPEN drivers. I had to manually configure the buttons for two days straight because the driver app doesn't allow you to change where it saves the config, because, even though it should be compatible with linux, it doesn't offer the same degree of nerd-magic because its designed for windows-users(spyware enthusiasts). You must install the Open Tablet Drivers, from the bazaar store, using ->
ujust install-opentabletdriver
ujust install-opentabletdriver
Then, then the most common mistake is trying to set one of the pen's buttons to right click, something that is not planned to be added to this program because it would be too hard to implement. Instead you need to set up the "linux artist mode: Button 2" in that pen button to make it work with the right click, make sure you're in artist mode too....
Solution:
Install Open Tablet Drivers from the Flatpack store With
ujust install-opentabletdriver
ujust install-opentabletdriver
and if you have problems with the binds (left/right click won't work), make sure you're in artist mode and you've set the right click with artist mode

How to re-enable [super + tab] keybind to get multiple "desktops"

rpm lock

Hi new to fedora im trying to install 1password have tried both an install from the .rpm file aswell as a manual method but both seem to be struggling to install From the download file warning: /var/home/Medrin/Downloads/1password-latest.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA512 Signature, key ID 2012ea22: NOKEY...
Solution:
As an update after reading the bazzite docs can see you don't recommend using the rpm and realized you had flatpack flatpak install https://downloads.1password.com/linux/flatpak/1Password.flatpakref...

KDE Desktop just died after trying to change Wallpaper engine wallpaper

Heyo, I was poking around the settings menu and saw that there was Wallpaper engine support, so I got it set up and was flipping through my options when everything basically closed, including the desktop. I'm not very versed in linux but to give an example it's like on Windows if you kill explorer.exe, except the only thing that works is ctrl alt delete. This issue persists between boots. Using TTY I've tried rebasing, but it does not solve my issue at all. I'm sure just reinstalling everything...

strange bug that causes icons in toolbar to rearrange by themselves on nvidia open kinoite

this is a very strange one, and i think it is related to distrobox. sometimes apps installed via distrobox (e.g. signal) will rearrange themselves on the toolbar. when you click them, they fix themselves, but the hotkeys and so on before that change.

Feature Request: Implement "GPU Screen Recorder" into ujust

I and many I know use a package called "GPU Screen Recorder" to have a NV Shadowplay-esk experience. It can be installed separately, but is not easy to have autostart, and preferably auto enable "replay" on game launch. It would be nice to just have a ujust command to install and configure GPU Screen Recorder to auto launch on start up, and if preferably if possible have a running script to detect games running via steam or the like to enable the Replay function. In regards to the auto game running detection, at least on Windows there is a Registry key that denotes the "currently running app" via its Steam game ID, there is probably something similar somewhere for Linux, but I don't know enough about Linux and Steams implementation to know where it may be....

Feature Request: Native keyboard and mouse key re-mapper and Macro based on in focus program.

Hello all, I have been trying out Bazzite, and I have run into this pain point before. What Bazzite and Linux in general needs for gaming is hardware agnostic profile based remapping. On Windows I did this via Corsair iCue, but as there is not, and may never be, iCue for Linux this is my recommendation. Have some way to setup remapping and basic macro support in software/driver that is dependent on the in focus program. So if you have say War Hammer Vermintide 2 running and in focus you can make the 5 key which by default just equips the bomb would equip (5), and then throw it (left click). Or a more simple example the ability to remap the Right Windows key to say F23 for use with like game capture....

error with complete shutdown of the computer from the bazzite system level

Hello, A few days ago, I installed Bazzite in a dual-boot setup with Windows 11 on a single M2 drive. When I try to shut down the computer from within the Bazzite system, the computer doesn't shut down completely, meaning the monitor goes dark and there's no signal, but the computer, mouse, and keyboard continue to work. Shutting down from within Windows 11 works normally....

Logitech MX Keys Mini with Solaar - sticky keys

I don't know if it's due to my keyboard, Logitech MX Keys Mini with Solaar, or if it's got to do with something else in my settings, but when I use VS Code (or switch windows) my keyboard becomes non-responsive. But I now think it's that some keys remain down - 'ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc'. What can I do about debugging this? Do I need to remove VS Code / Firefox / etc?...

android studio flatpak seems to work, but device emulator does not

I installed the latest flatpak version of Android Studio and everything seems fine at first, but when I try to start a virtual device nothing happens. My guess is that the device emulator needs something and I can't figure out what it is. Help would be great. Thanks!

Nvidia dynamic boost not working / disabled

As the title suggests, I am using Bazzite with nvidia hardware (legion 5 rtx 3050 ryzen 5 5600h) For some reason, my gpu never boosts to 95w in performance mode. Nvidia-powerd says it is disabled in SBIOS. However dynamic boost works in other distros like Mint and Fedora. What could be the problem?...
