Thanks, that fixed the broken prompt, though I still get no MOTD anymore

Are you able to get to a tty or desktop mode? For me (who has the same issue) I can still navigate game mode even though I can't see it. So I press steam button on my deck, then dpad up, then A button, then d-pad down 4 times, then A button again. That boots me to desktop mode

BearFOX•2/26/24, 12:41 PM

@PipPaine @Alex&Indie did you find a workaround to your broken gamescope issue? Rollbacks, upgrades, rebasing to earlier versions that worked before I did rpm-ostree upgrade rpm-ostree upgrade all still have black screen gamescope on boot so I'm thinking it must be either something in the kernel, bios or home folder that has changed to cause it to persist throughout

gradientdissent•2/26/24, 2:44 PM

FWIW, I had the exact same problem Geechan described after the most recent update, except unlike them, in my case running

cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/.bashrc

cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/.bashrc

fully fixed the issue, with MOTD showing up correctly. At least in my case, the issue was that ~/.bashrc~/.bashrc just didn't exist at all - which is weird because prior to the update everything was working fine, which implies the file originally existed, so I'm not sure what could have caused it to disappear. Anyway, hope this info is of some use for debugging!

why would there need to be a fresh reinstall for an immutable os? I can see why you want ~/ to be refreshed but the core system is immutable

May be a steam crash rather than gamescope

you checked the ones in #Gamescope frequently crashes on boot ?

Kyle Gospo•2/26/24, 4:13 PM

yup

Kyle Gospo•2/26/24, 4:14 PM

basically nothing in those

Kyle Gospo•2/26/24, 4:14 PM

there's separate logs for steam and for the params it's launched with, 4 in total

Kyle Gospo•2/26/24, 4:14 PM

would help to have all 4

BearFOX•2/26/24, 4:14 PM

Okay so I found that if I delete the gamescope folder in home/deck/.config then on next boot gamescope WILL load normally

BearFOX•2/26/24, 4:14 PM

But on next boot when that folder has been regenerated, it boots gamescope to black screen

BearFOX•2/26/24, 4:15 PM

That's consistent as I've checked three times over for each scenario where the folder is there / isn't

BearFOX•2/26/24, 4:16 PM

I also see the steam runtime environment gets setup again if I had deleted the gamescope folder

Kyle Gospo•2/26/24, 4:16 PM

when did this start? Last gamescope build was 15 days ago and it's the same version we built over 2 months ago

3.13.19

BearFOX•2/26/24, 4:17 PM

For me it started when I updated to 23rd Feb build. But I'd been on a December or January build before that as I don't update if I have a active game I'm playing through
