the black screen only happens occasionally on a fresh installation, solutions are to either to temporarily attach an external display, or the following:

(Copy-paste) When you have a blank or frozen on "Verifying Installation" screen:

CTRL + ALT + F2 to open a terminal. Login w/ your user

In terminal:

steamos-session-select plasma

steamos-session-select plasma

to get back into Desktop Mode

click on the
```
return to game mode
```
return to game mode
```
return to game mode
```
return to game mode
icon on your desktop.

for some reason, the black screen issue resolves once you open game mode at least once from desktop mode.

Wasn't aware this was a problem. WIll definitely look into that

Mmoe kinda offtopic but anybody have an 8bitdo ultimate (switch version) with bazzite...

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 5:40 PM

Unsure if it would work or not given it's the Switch version. We may need Nintendo HID. Worth a shot though

MikeNS•11/28/23, 5:40 PM

I just reinstall, let me see if that happens again

AruOP•11/28/23, 5:41 PM

the issue completely goes away once you fix it at least once

moe•11/28/23, 5:42 PM

Damn I really wish there would be a way to say " hey this is the 8bitdo controller. here are the extra buttons. have fun" instead of what we have now which is basically "hey this is a generic xinput device in switch mode. its a switch controller. screw your extra back buttons"

moe•11/28/23, 5:42 PM

but thats a steam issue

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 5:44 PM

Not a Steam issue or even an Xpad issue (the driver responsible for handling controllers). You can get controllers fully working via Xpad but you need to put in the time to implement support for it. Not the friendliest thing in the world but certainly not an issue with the solution we have

moe•11/28/23, 5:45 PM

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something but steam only knows xbox/switch/playstation and steamdeck controllers as native or am I wrong?

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 5:46 PM

My bad in interpreting what was being said

moe•11/28/23, 5:46 PM

no worries

would be cool to see a "legion go" controller in steam though ^^

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 5:47 PM

extest is pulling it in

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 5:48 PM

I doubt Valve would be against ssomething like that if OEMs cooperated with them on solutions but I would wager OEMs don't care

moe•11/28/23, 5:49 PM

would be cool

AAru the issue completely goes away once you fix it at least once

MikeNS•11/28/23, 5:52 PM

Will it easier just run konsole after fresh install and set the gamescope

MMikeNS Will it easier just run konsole after fresh install and set the gamescope

AruOP•11/28/23, 5:53 PM

err, not sure if it will fix the problem on fresh install, but you can try. why not try hitting the

return to game mode

return to game mode

icon on fresh boot?

AAru err, not sure if it will fix the problem on fresh install, but you can try. why ...

MikeNS•11/28/23, 6:07 PM

Another fresh install, the boot up doesn't have
Allow me to ctl alt f2

Sergio Rojas•11/28/23, 6:07 PM

I want to customize the Bazzite Portal app, is the app open source?

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:18 PM

why are you running it while already in desktop mode?

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:18 PM

that command opens desktop mode

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:19 PM

once in desktop mode, just click the

return to game mode

return to game mode

icon on the desktop

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:19 PM

you need to load desktop mode, and then return to game mode from desktop mode.

AAru why are you running it while already in desktop mode?

MikeNS•11/28/23, 6:20 PM

I can't get ctl alt f2 to work during boot

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:20 PM

on the blank screen?

AAru on the blank screen?

MikeNS•11/28/23, 6:20 PM

Yes

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:20 PM

it should be when you boot, and see the blank screen

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:20 PM

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:20 PM

then how did you get into desktop mode in the first place?

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:21 PM

the command is only necessary for to get you into desktop mode

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:21 PM

then from desktop, return to game mode

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:22 PM

an alternative solution is to connect an external monitor at least once while you see the blank screen on boot.

MikeNS•11/28/23, 6:22 PM

Ok gamemode is working, installing updates

MikeNS•11/28/23, 6:23 PM

MikeNS•11/28/23, 6:23 PM

I think there is something mess in the installation

AAru then how did you get into desktop mode in the first place?

MikeNS•11/28/23, 6:25 PM

After installation it boot into desktop mode it after when try to boot into gamemode I get black screen

AruOP•11/28/23, 6:25 PM

updates can take a while, try waiting a bit

Installing bazzite when I get home

RogerLovesYou ❤•11/28/23, 7:33 PM

Does MTPDeck work yet by chance? I guess I have to back up everything on my Deck after all

Mmoe kinda offtopic but anybody have an 8bitdo ultimate (switch version) with bazzite...

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 7:45 PM

back buttons work but has to be configured in windows using the 8bitdo application or through android/ios using 8bitdo ultimate software (the controller does not have to be paired with the controller)
gyro works only in switch mode (with dongle beta firmware) or bluetooth mode (which is locked to switch mode)

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 7:46 PM

and if you need the beta firmware i have it archived somewhere

termdisc•11/28/23, 7:46 PM

I can confirm that is my experience with the 8bitdo Ultimate BT as well

termdisc•11/28/23, 7:46 PM

specifically, the back buttons are not separately bindable in Steam

Ttermdisc specifically, the back buttons are not separately bindable in Steam

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 7:54 PM

yeah this is because steam input offer no way to bind them, valve focuses only on the 1st party controllers with extended functionality (or its just that there is no "proper" way to remap the back buttons on other controllers without reverse engineering every single one of them, which valve wont do)

RRogerLovesYou ❤Does MTPDeck work yet by chance? I guess I have to back up everything on my Deck...

RogerLovesYou ❤•11/28/23, 8:00 PM

Just to add on to this, if MTPDeck doesn't work yet, how do you guys usually back up your things from the Deck?
