Is bazzite-gnome-deck:testing broken on the OLED SteamDeck?
I've been running bazzite on my oled steamdeck for about a week now by rebasing to testing after installing. Everything was working great, have updated a couple times without issue, but after running
rpm-ostree upgrade my steamdeck just shows a black screen, doesn't boot past the uefi splash logo. The behavior is the same when entering the boot menu and selecting fedora as well.
So I formatted my steamdeck and reinstalled bazite. This time when rebasing to testing I had the exact same behavior as after I upgraded earlier today, no ability to boot into the OS, which suggests to me the latest image might have broken compatibility somehow. Does anyone know if the current bazzite-gnome-deck testing image is broken? If so is there any way to pull a previously released testing image that was functioning totally fine until a stable release exists for OLED deck owners? Thanks!10 Replies
Just updated to the latest testing and it's working fine -- not able to reproduce
I'm on bazzite-gnome-deck as well
can you get a log?
did you test it on the OLED deck as well?
yes
I am also seeing this issue. No error screen, just UEFI bootsplash and no progression even after waiting 30+ minutes
did the install on my htpc outside of the deck. :testing would not boot but when i put the m.2 back in the deck it booted. Maybe it should be noted that :testing is only really tested against the OLED for now?
:testing is tested in a VM, on a real desktop, on the OLED deck, on the Legion GO, and on the Ally
I know of no hardware-specific issues with failure to boot
My bad for presuming. Probably just a cranky configuration 😉
Have a good holiday!
just want to confirm that it is not on the 64 gig deck
Nope. 1tb swap
wait is it on an external disk?
No they swapped out the internal ssd
