What’s up guys, coming through with yet another oddity:
Since a few days ago, steam downloads seems to freeze the whole pc up for a good 30-40 seconds.
Thought it might be an ssd problem, but downloading a torrent on full tilit at 90mb/s doesn’t yield the same result.

Any ideas what might be the issue?

Download graph shows it pretty good as well

SupOP•4/2/24, 9:31 AM

Both dl and write speeds drop to 0 for the period of the freeze

Shiina•4/2/24, 9:37 AM

Also why does steam redownload shaders every day?

Aantheas Can we get some logs?

SupOP•4/2/24, 9:39 AM

Oh sure thing, just lmk how.
I have the intel ax210 in, but not really using it as I'm right next to the router

antheas•4/2/24, 9:40 AM

The link

SupOP•4/2/24, 9:41 AM

Let me check if I can recreate it by downloading a random game

Aantheas if it's happening right now

SupOP•4/2/24, 9:49 AM

Hmm, it seems like 30 GBs of max payne 3 downloaded just fine. It was freezing while updating helldivers 2 just a moment ago.

I would get the logs to you as soon as it happens again, as it seems to be reoccurring.

antheas•4/2/24, 9:50 AM

If you didn't reboot and remember the time

antheas•4/2/24, 9:50 AM

The command will have it in there

antheas•4/2/24, 9:50 AM

Otherwise yeah dm when it happens again

antheas•4/2/24, 9:50 AM

I'm not sure -1 is the current boot it is on my machibe

SupOP•4/2/24, 9:50 AM

Oh nice, one link coming right up

antheas•4/2/24, 9:50 AM

But others have told me it's not

SShiina Also why does steam redownload shaders every day?

HikariKnight•4/2/24, 10:11 AM

because new shaders are available, essentially shaders matching your card will be provided through steam, steam will send unique shaders created on your pc to them so that it can be sent to the other users with the same hardware too.
this is why games with steam workshop mods tend to get very big shaders if they are popular or have a steam workshop showcase on rotation as those shaders get included too.

Kid•4/2/24, 10:13 AM

I disabled preshader cache on my main rig

Kid•4/2/24, 10:14 AM

but pretty useful on the deck! It's just annoying if you have many games installed . . .

valvix•4/2/24, 10:24 AM

so bazzite doesnt instantly follow the base images like silveblue-nvidia right

valvix•4/2/24, 10:24 AM

cuz bazzite doesn't have distrobox 1.7.1 which has a bug fix that i really need

valvix•4/2/24, 10:24 AM

silverblue nvidia does however

valvix•4/2/24, 10:25 AM

any info on when 1.7.1 could be expected

valvix•4/2/24, 10:25 AM

cuz the bug leads to the containers straight up crashing when installing software inside

valvix•4/2/24, 10:25 AM

getting sigkilled to be more precise

Lol :D
I was also tempted to try the traditional ublue images

Valerie•4/2/24, 10:29 AM

The verdict is quite sweet, great video

Valerie•4/2/24, 10:30 AM

I love to see people with that same enthusiasm that the people in this discord do

Kid•4/2/24, 10:31 AM

I also enjoyed it! And I'm happy to use bazzite ^^
But what I still don't get ... how does bazzite have a tiny bit less performance (on desktop PCs)

I also read about the various patches + steam is included in the base image, no flatpak and there is a little bit less performance.. even all the kernel patches and the system76 schedeuler

do you know why?

Kid•4/2/24, 10:32 AM

-
In my testing debian and bazzite perform the same

VValerie @Niklas ⚡ Someone (I think) recommending Aurora in the wild 😄

Niklas ⚡•4/2/24, 10:33 AM

Yeah awesome to see it slowly getting bigger

Niklas ⚡•4/2/24, 10:33 AM

Also enabled F40 today, aside from ptyxis not installing in the image building process everything works (as far as I have tested)

valvix•4/2/24, 10:37 AM

bazzite :stable images are the freshest there is right

Niklas ⚡•4/2/24, 10:37 AM

Yes

valvix•4/2/24, 10:37 AM

okay thx

Aantheas Oh wow turns out the wifi bug is also freezing

FennecTECH•4/2/24, 10:48 AM

Managed to preserve all of my games. I’ll look into migrating more later.

Exceed•4/2/24, 11:49 AM

does bazzite include goverlay 1.0 and if not is there anyway i could add it?

EExceed does bazzite include goverlay 1.0 and if not is there anyway i could add it?

HikariKnight•4/2/24, 11:51 AM

once fedora 40 releases i know it will be 1.0 from what i heard
currently it is 0.9-5 for bazzite

Exceed•4/2/24, 11:52 AM

will it be a pretty seemless upgrade from bazzite 39 do you think?

HikariKnight•4/2/24, 11:53 AM

as seamless as just updating

HikariKnight•4/2/24, 11:53 AM

since the process is identical

Exceed•4/2/24, 11:54 AM

gotcha thanks, looking forward to fedora 40, lots of goodies for me, gnome 46, goverlay 1.0

HikariKnight•4/2/24, 11:55 AM

however if you are rebased to lets say a timestamped image or bazzite:39bazzite:39 you will have to manually rebase to bazzite:latestbazzite:latest or bazzite:stablebazzite:stable (both of these are the same but people kept trying to use "stable" instead of "latest")

Niklas ⚡•4/2/24, 11:55 AM

Isn’t stable the one you’re supposed to use now?

NNiklas ⚡Isn’t stable the one you’re supposed to use now?

HikariKnight•4/2/24, 11:55 AM

they are both the same
