JI just did an update and it only downloaded 168mb instead of the usual 1.4gb. Did y’all get partial upgrade downloads working?
LHello everyone I'm new here and new to bazzite. I have some things I need some help with which I have numbered to make it easier to reference, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to make a new topic in the help channel for each of these or what? This is on desktop Bazzite KDE, with an AMD GPU.
- The following apps crash within a few seconds of using them, usually from clicking anything in their UI, but sometimes it crashes even without clicking anything:LutrisBottlesBoxesClamTK(Crashes during scan only)
- I attempted to install battlenet and epic store using the buttons in Bottles, but neither will run.
- Sometimes Spotube only loads up with a transparent window and I can't see any of the UI.
- FocusWriter randomly freezes.
- Nuclear sometimes stops playing music for no apparent reason and I can't get the music to start working again.
- I need an antivirus with a GUI that actually works in Bazzite as I fear some of my files may be infected due to some people accessing my accounts somehow.
- A bunch of random files with weird characters that I can't even view appeared in my home folder and I'm not able to move, open or delete them. I looked it up online and other people had the same thing and noone knows why, but I fear it may be related to issue 6.
- How do I install linux programs that aren't an appimage or not found in discovery app? There's so many linux programs with different versions that I wanted to try but none of them will install for instance .sh, .deb, etc files, none of them work.
- Is there no way to run virtualbox in bazzite? Boxes won't work so what else can I use?
- Is it normal that the root /usr/share/themes folder is read only?
- A lot of programs open with the borders and title bar off the edges of the screen and can't be moved/accessed.
Thank you.
LHere is a screenshot of the files with the weird names.

Kgiven the crashing by Clam & the files, this looks like a pretty nasty case of filesystem corruption
Kvirtualbox can be layered and work, as can any other fedora package
Kadditionally distrobox will let you use packages for other distros
LUh oh, I'm not sure exactly what that entails. How is it happening? How do I fix it? I just installed bazzite and moved files onto it. And I checked the SSD health and also benchmarked it before installing the OS on it and everything was fine.
T- i dont usually have issues with lutris, bottles, or boxes crashing personally. easiest way to debug them is to run them in the terminal and read the logs when it crashes.
lutriswould probably be the easiest to run if you can easily reproduce that. but i see kyle thinks its filesystem corruption - I'm not too sure about Bottles and Bnet, ive gotten that to work previously with Bottles, but you could try Lutris unless that's causing crashes there. Highly recommend just install Bnet with the lutris script though to see if that fixes it. Try to install Heroic in Discover for Epic Games
- SELinux is preinstalled and is about the closest you would get to something like this with executables.
- Yes
- yeah this happens with KDE and some applications sadly
KI've never seen anything like it, I'm afraid I don't know
Tjust wanted to answer some that i think i can
LHow do I layer it? Sorry I have no idea how that works as you can probably tell haha.
LHow do I access distrobox? Is it a command line only thing?
Trpm-ostree install and when it's finished installing, rebootKanywhere you'd use
sudo dnf install you can instead rpm-ostree installyup
Kcorrect
Tyou can run other distros in a container
Tsay debian to run .deb files
T.sh are bash scripts. right click > properties > permissions > Is executableand right click the program again and select "Run in Konsole" or open a terminal in the file manager in the location of the .sh file and enter
./nameofscript.sh
L- Well I can definitely try that, can you help walk me through how to run it from the terminal? I'm very newbish with this OS. I will share the results of the log. 2. I did get Bnet working on lutris but it crashed a 100 times on the way to try and get it installed. 3. I'm sorry what is this in reference to? as 3 was about spotube. 4. the same with this, what was this in reference to? as 4 was about focuswriter.
LDarn 
LWhat is this for?
Tlayering packages
Tsystem-level applications
T- open konsole and type
lutris - yeah idk this crashing seems bizarre on multiple programs
3/4.. this is probably an issue with them
Luh oh well I never used sudo dnf install before, don't even know what that does. Quite newby on all of that stuff, but I did use manjaro for a few years in the past
LLutris and focuswriter I never had issues with before on manjaro just for reference
Lsame with clamtk
KWe ship Lutris by default, it's built in
Kshould work for everyone, I'm sure that's evidence of something being very wrong here along w/ the files and clam not working
Tim on the bazzite desktop image too with an AMD GPU, but I haven't experienced crashing issues with Boxes, Lutris, or Bottles
LOk I'm going to try lutris in the konsole now
LIt is strange to me because I installed bazzite a few times actually and this is the first time I am experiencing those issues, last time I didn't have that problem, so I don't know if its a problem with the SSD somehow, or a problem with my files or something else
LIf it helps any to troubleshoot this, sometimes restarting the PC fixes some of the freezing/crashing or transparent windows, but not always
TThere's a nice GUI for journal logs called "Logs" in Discover that you might want to install and view next time any of this happens. It will tell you way more than you need and complain about other things, but it might be useful for debugging
Tlast time i had issues with freezing was on my old PC build with a very cheap SSD i had that eventually failed, but i dont want to automatically assume it's hardware related

LAlso the games i installed to lutris yesterday, are no longer in the lutris UI
Teverything seemed normal until
Non existent path (actually might be normal?)LAlso, when lutris crashes, the logs in the console dont change, it stays the same as what I showed you guys
LI think its still running actually but the window disappears
Lits in process memory, but not in the application list
Thow did you install bazzite
Tactually might not have anything to do with this. i doubt anyone is still using the offline ISO
Lim pretty sure i used fedora writer onto a usb and then installed to external ssd(which uses internet to install)
Land if it wasnt fedora writer then I may have used rufus
Tok yeah so you should be up to date
Tyeah i dont know....
LOne Idea i have is, you know how some programs are preinstalled? I actually installed the discover versions as well, maybe that messed something up? I thought it would be easier to see what apps update in discover, but perhaps that was not intended to do for this OS
