Ddnkmmr because there is some unfixable bug involved

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 2:40 AM

Well it's certainly not unfixable and I wouldn't consider absent builds a bug

So trying out VRR with the new update. Worked first try when connected directly to my TV. Then plugged the deck into my VRR compatible receiver which is plugged into my TV. Was unable to enable VRR on the deck now. Ok. Switched back to direct connect to the TV. Now I can’t turn on VRR anymore

midnight_gospel_•11/28/23, 2:42 AM

I don’t know how to fix it yet, but figured I’d just share

midnight_gospel_•11/28/23, 2:43 AM

And I’ve tried rebooting, changing resolutions, verifying that the TV is setup right, and unplugging the power from the dock and plugging it back in. Still can’t get it back

try booting into your previous deployment

I mean it was working. All I did was switch what it was plugged into

Should only apply to desktop as well

Does hitting the "-" when partitioning actively delete the partition or just selects it to be deleted when installing?

RogerLovesYou ❤•11/28/23, 3:50 AM

It says there must be a new root but I just wanna make sure I don't start something, do it wrong, and not be able to pull out before I really hit the big blue button.

RogerLovesYou ❤•11/28/23, 3:58 AM

Does this look correct otherwise, guys?

the link they gave you was for normal fedora.

i believe you need
/boot as ext4
/boot/efi as EFI (fat32 with some flags if EFI or ESP is not an option)

a subvolume named

root

root

for use as

a subvolume named

home

home

or partition for

/var/home

/var/home

(as

/home

/home

will become a symlink to

/var/home

/var/home

)

this would be the bare minimum
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/installation/
kinoite will have the same limitations

Will this keep my existing home folder intact?

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 8:04 AM

no idea as i am new to fedora on desktop, only used some centos servers once in a blue moon
but in most installers when you use partitions, not btrfs subvolumes the home folder is kept if you do not format the home partition
no idea how anaconda handles this with btrfs subvolumes

Quick question. So It is not reccomended to have other partitioned os's on the same hard drive that Bazzite is installed on correct? But it's fine to have them on other hard drives in the same system.

KKyle Gospo Still waiting on RPM fusion for that, it's almost ready

idempotent•11/28/23, 9:08 AM

Nice, amazing!

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 9:36 AM

pretty much and the bootloader for bazzite should be on the same drive as bazzite, meaning if you are a new user the easiest way to achieve this is to just make sure bazzite is the only available disk when installing and same goes for when installing windows (make sure windows only sees the disk that windows will be using)
bit harder to do that with a steamdeck but on pc you can just install the system in a VM using disk passthrough and then reboot to the disk afterwards (i do this all the time)

once the systems are installed on separate disks you can just regenerate grub using

ujust regenerate-grub

ujust regenerate-grub

and it will just add the entries for you

Hello, how can I install virtual box?

DDetective Ra Hello, how can I install virtual box?

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 9:46 AM

use virt-manager instead as its better supported in bazzite. dont know how supported virtualbox is on ostree distros.

you can install it using the command

ujust enable-virtualization

ujust enable-virtualization

after reboot you run sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtdsudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd to permanently activate the service (this might have to be run again after any new major fedora release)

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 9:50 AM

it will take a lot of time to install as you have to install qemu and libvirt directly into your image (this will also slow down future updates)

virtual machines from my testing run like garbage in some situations in distrobox

sbalani•11/28/23, 10:02 AM

so the simple answer is yes? Basically have the bootloader and bazzite on the same disk. Windows can be on a separate disk, I just need to egenerate grub using ujust regenerate-grub in the terminal in Bazzite. is that right?
