Installed bazzite-deck-gnome:testing on OLED to check Gnome (after multiple years of using KDE exclusively). I must say it does look slick, will be interesting to see how it fares in day-to-day usage.

Although I've already found some strange bug - bazzite menu (top left corner icon) doesn't seem to accept input (mouse clicks) from bluetooth keyboard for some menu entries at all (strange, like I mentioned). Whereas for touch input everything works correctly.

That is odd, I'll see if I can reproduce it

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 9:13 AM

that menu is a fork of Logo Menu

call it a soft fork since we keep it in sync

RaltayOP•1/7/24, 9:41 AM

@KyleGospo you don't have to rush it rn, because I can't seem to reproduce it now after -> gamescope -> desktop again.

RaltayOP•1/7/24, 9:41 AM

Seems to work correctly now

RaltayOP•1/7/24, 9:41 AM

weird

RaltayOP•1/7/24, 9:54 AM

OK I take it back, something definately is not right with that menu, I'll fidget with it a bit more to establish steps where this will reproduce 100%.

RaltayOP•1/7/24, 9:55 AM

Seems to be some issue with the menu itself, I'm not experiencing (for now) any issues while interacting with other elements on the desktop

RaltayOP•1/7/24, 1:25 PM

OK I have steps to reproduce this issue. Good thing is that you don't even need bluetooth keyboard, you can reproduce it just by mixing touch and controller-cursor control schemes (right stick/touchpad and shoulder buttons).

This is on bazzite-deck-gnome:testing (installed about 6 hours ago, up to date) on OLED.

1) Turn on Steam Deck.
2) Go to desktop mode.
3) Using controller-cursor controls, click on top left corner menu icon to open menu.
4) Click (using above mentioned control scheme) on any menu item(s) of your choice - everything should work here.
5) Now, using touchscreen controls, open menu and tap on any menu item(s) of your choice. They should still launch properly.
=== This is where it breaks ===
6) Now, using controller-cursor controls again, try to launch any of the menu item(s)/button(s) you tapped at step (5).
7) All of them don't work, i.e. clicks via shoulder buttons / touchpad are completely ignored.

It seems that as long as you don't launch any menu entry with touch controls (tap), both controller-cursor and bluetooth keyboard/mouse will work. As soon as you launch any menu item with touch, then any subsequent attempt to launch given menu entry with controller-cursor and/or bluetooth kb/mouse will fail ('clicks' will be ignored by the menu). By that point, only clicks/taps via touch screen controls will work.

You need to restart your Deck completely to fix it - until you again use touch controls on the menu, where it breaks again.

Also I've found 3 more bugs while investigating above. I'll post about them later in the day.

Usually best to use the github so the reports don't get lost in chat

did anybody try installing

 wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin

 wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin

on bazzite? I am quite new to linux and have trouble with it, I did install it through Discover but videos don't play, just plain color. Tried to go to the https://github.com/catsout/wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin and building as it explains in Readme but I face with erros when following the

Build and Install

section with cmake. Maybe someone had a better luck with this?

Driver Improvements in Testing

Hey all, Just wanted to let you know we’re working on some improvements for Mesa in :testing. For AMD users we’ve merged this patchset, which can offer up to +75% performance in ray tracing. Meanwhile, Nvidia users are getting a new Vulkan driver to test – NVK. This will be present on all non-nvidia builds after the next kernel release, and pr...

It's preinstalled

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:01 PM

Just follow their usage instructions

Aru•1/7/24, 5:02 PM

just tried the latest test build, the auto-rotate did not kick in.

AAru just tried the latest test build, the auto-rotate did not kick in.

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:03 PM

Can you check if you have a file in ~/.config/autostart?

Aru•1/7/24, 5:03 PM

ls ~/.config/autostart/
legionfix  ublue-firstboot.desktop

ls ~/.config/autostart/
legionfix  ublue-firstboot.desktop

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:03 PM

Legionfix is correct, is the destination valid?

Aru•1/7/24, 5:04 PM

my autostart didn't have any other entries for the legionfix

Aru•1/7/24, 5:04 PM

Aru•1/7/24, 5:04 PM

so i'm guessing it didn't get automatically added?

M2•1/7/24, 5:05 PM

Try putting .desktop at the end of legionfix.

Aru•1/7/24, 5:05 PM

legionfix is an sh script though, not a desktop file

Aru•1/7/24, 5:05 PM

but sure, let me try

Aru•1/7/24, 5:07 PM

ok, it's showing up now. also did a chmod +x on it

Aru•1/7/24, 5:07 PM

let me try and see if it works

Aru•1/7/24, 5:08 PM

Nope, still didn't kick in

Aru•1/7/24, 5:08 PM

Let me try and see if the script even works, one sec

Aru•1/7/24, 5:09 PM

Works fine when I run it manually

AAru Works fine when I run it manually

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:09 PM

Odd, a shell script should execute in there

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:09 PM

Try adding it manually to autostart

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:10 PM

If that works, send me the desktop file it makes

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:10 PM

And I'll simply change the script to create that instead of the link

KKyle Gospo Try adding it manually to autostart

Aru•1/7/24, 5:11 PM

added it manually, this is the desktop entry it generated:

cat legionfix.desktop 

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/home/deck/.config/autostart/legionfix
Icon=dialog-scripts
Name=legionfix
Type=Application
X-KDE-AutostartScript=true

cat legionfix.desktop 

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/home/deck/.config/autostart/legionfix
Icon=dialog-scripts
Name=legionfix
Type=Application
X-KDE-AutostartScript=true

Aru•1/7/24, 5:11 PM

let me test it now

Aru•1/7/24, 5:12 PM

Hrm, still didn't work

Aru•1/7/24, 5:12 PM

But I know that it worked when I added it manually with my own version of the script

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:12 PM

Change exec to the libexec file that symlink points to

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:12 PM

Might be all it needs

Aru•1/7/24, 5:15 PM

nope, didn't work

cat legionfix.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/libexec/bazzite-handle-legion-go-rotation
Icon=dialog-scripts
Name=legionfix
Type=Application
X-KDE-AutostartScript=true

cat legionfix.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/libexec/bazzite-handle-legion-go-rotation
Icon=dialog-scripts
Name=legionfix
Type=Application
X-KDE-AutostartScript=true

Kyle Gospo•1/7/24, 5:15 PM

Hmm..

Aru•1/7/24, 5:16 PM

let me try downloading the script somewhere, and autostart it
