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?...

VPN or Proxy client

To work with the OS, you need a VPN or proxy client with shadowsock support. I tried to install it, but it didn't work. Please tell me how to do this.

GPU usage at 100% in steam games only

Hello. Today I installed a new CPU cooler in my PC. After rebooting, I noticed the performance in my Steam games was really low. The cause of the poor performance was coming from my RX 9070 XT GPU. Usage goes all the way up to 100% even while simply idle on main menus, and frame rates at 40-60 FPS. This seemingly only happens to titles launched via Steam, as other games launched will have normal performance. Specs MSI MAG Tomahawk X870E AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D...
Solution:
I have resolved this issue. For anyone experiencing the same, consider changing the "Initial Graphics Device" between IGP and PEG may work. The BIOS may have misconfigured this setting and started mismanaging the gpu.

Resolution stuck at 1024x768 – Can't set 1600x900 on Radeon R5 430 OEM with Bazzite KDE

Hi, I’m using Bazzite KDE on a ThinkCentre with an AMD Radeon R5 430 OEM. My monitor’s native and usual resolution is 1600x900@60Hz, but Bazzite only offers resolutions at or below 1024x768. I’ve already tried the following: Editing GRUB with video=1600x900@60...

Any reason I can't seem to get the Anaconda GUI to popup during install?

Losing my mind here, I have followed several different tutorials from start to finish and have reset my PC to factory twice. Following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxPsKhJGTrs&t=550s I do not get a GUI in the installer. I recieve the error "X or Window manager startup failed, falling back to text mode". I have been following this guide exactly from a fresh install, all Windows and Asus updates run. Specs:...

Bazaar missing/not working after updating

I just updated to the latest version of Bazzite, but Bazaar doesn't appear to be working here The old Discover is still here, albeit nonfunctional Anyone able to shed some light on this?...
Solution:
I found a workaround, doing brh rebase testing (courtesy of this thread) https://discordapp.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1394084727870324877 got Bazaar on my system at last Dunno why it didn't install properly when I updated my OS but I won't complain further...

gpd win 4 suspend

suspend appeared to be working at first but i ran the command "echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2808", ATTR{idProduct}=="9338", ATTR{remove}="1"' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/99-block-fingerprint.rules" to disable it anyway. now if i sleep/suspend the device it is stuck on a black screen. Is there a way to reverse this change?...

Bluetooth disabled on zbook ultra with 6.15 kernels (Mediatek 7925)

In any image based on the bazzite 6.15 kernel bluetooth is no longer detected on the zbook ultra, which has the Mediatek 7925. Wireless is still functional on these kernels. Rolling back to any 6.14 based image restores functionality, however these images have more frequent issues with the pageflip_timeout gpu bug, so it's not an ideal solution.
Solution:
In case anyone runs across a similar issue, I was able to resolve it by disabling bluetooth in EFI, booting to a 6.15 kernel, doing a shutdown (power off) then re-enabling it in EFI. I've heard of similar issues for people who dual boot, but this is the first time I've encountered it with a linux only device....

Bazzite doesn't seem to work with one my hard drives

I just did a fresh install, but for some reason, it just doesn't want to work with one of my hard drives while it's working just fine with every other drive I have. I've tried as much as I could find online. Trying to format it gives me "Failed to probe the device /dev/sda", trying to mount or run a self-test gives "Input/output error", and I know it's not a hardware issue because this hard drive works just fine if I boot to Windows and it can also be formatted there. fsck gives the following...

Issues with color bandwidth

Hey guys. I have just installed bazzite (bazzite-deck on HTPC), and noticed immediately that colors are washed out compared to how they were on Windows. I discovered rather quickly that this is because bazzite limits your output to 420 8b @4k 120hz. After doing some research I've found that full color range isn't supported on bazzite at 4k 120hz, even with appropriate hardware (HDMI 2.1, lgc1). I found this really odd, considering how people say it's the best for gaming (yet standards like full rgb range aren't even an option?)...

Random system freezes

I recently installed bazzite and while using it my system often freezes randomly and can only be fixed by hard rebooting it. On top of that, my taskbar often freezes and does not function for 15-20 minutes. When that happens, everything else functions perfectly and i can still use my PC. Here is my fastfetch: 󱋩  bazzite-nvidia-open:stable  󰣛  Bazzite 42 (FROM Fedora Kinoite)   Linux 6.14.4-104.bazzite.fc42.x86_64...

Installation issue/partitions/grub assistance. Please help me

I originally partitioned my hard drive into 2, split 500gb/500, not accurate but very close. I installed bazzite unto a flash drive and decided to go boot it from the flashdrive for installation. From there I was met with the issue of me not having enough free space on the drive. Long story short I think I may have shrunk either my main partition or the empty partition to use the shrunk space for installation. I no longer see the partition in the list, nor did the install go successfully because...

Fuzzy Frametime graph after last Bazzite/Steam update

When I display Bazzite on my TV, just as on this screen, after the last update, Frametime graph started to show quickly oscillating frametimes, up to 31ms. Before, the graph was completely flatline in all games I've tested, like Tekken 8, MH World, Battlefront 2. Now it's fuzzy like this :/...
Solution:
After two months of having problem with it, after updating Bazzite today, the problem with fuzzy Frametime graph disappeared. Not sure what changed in the update, if it was MangoHud bug or AMD driver issue....

Hey there! I think my problem isn't really Bazzite related, but more hardware, but I'm really looking for a hand to troubleshoot :/ I'm having since like, a week, random system freezes....
