I am trying to rotate the screen of a device while on gamescope

PPacoA I am trying to rotate the screen of a device while on gamescope

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:54 AM

What device?

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:54 AM

gpd win2

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:54 AM

We ship the same session, but don't use the same quirk system

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:54 AM

Is technically not supported

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:55 AM

so what you could do is

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:55 AM

sudo rpm-ostree usroverlay

sudo rpm-ostree usroverlay

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:55 AM

^ this will make your root R/W until you reboot, with all changes being lost

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:55 AM

sudoedit /usr/share/gamescope-session-plus/device-quirks

sudoedit /usr/share/gamescope-session-plus/device-quirks

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:56 AM

Add your device & rotation, and then once you're happy

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:56 AM

feel free to submit a PR, I'll merge and it'll be in the next build

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:56 AM

Sounds good, let me take a look

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:57 AM

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:57 AM

I do see Win2 is already there

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:57 AM

I dont think its worth to push to the repo, the win2 doesnt render anything with latest gamescope when used to deploy gamepadUI (steam) session .

Or at least thats the case on chimeraOS

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:57 AM

though maybe it needs a separate rotation

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:57 AM

I had to use an older version of gamescope

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:57 AM

I am just testing here to see if the same binary works here

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:58 AM

I do have antoher question, is there a way to force going into desktop mode if my screen is black at boot ?

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:58 AM

on chimera I can do : "cntrl + Alt + F2"ant it brings a TTy console

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:58 AM

TTY will work here the same

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:58 AM

then you'd need to just start the other session

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:59 AM

you can also use the same commands you would on SteamOS to default to a desktop session

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 4:59 AM

note that the same downsides are present here as well

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:59 AM

Sounds good

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 4:59 AM

Let me try to make it work

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 5:06 AM

@Krepta try updating now

pastaq•4/15/24, 5:09 AM

Is there anything we can do to make this easier to manage? Would be nice to have a single way of doing things so improvements can be shared automatically.

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 5:09 AM

I need to take another look at it, but I'm very interested in working more closely on it

Kyle Gospo•4/15/24, 5:09 AM

lemme get back to you

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 5:11 AM

Mmmmm this is intresting, it doesnt start.
Now it doesnt even get to the GPD logo

KKyle Gospo @Krepta try updating now

Krepta•4/15/24, 5:24 AM

Will do

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 5:29 AM

if I did the install with root only, can I switch to desktop ?

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 5:29 AM

I am getting the "steamos-session-select as root is not allowed"

PacoAOP•4/15/24, 5:31 AM

Maybe I will just reinstall

valvix•4/15/24, 6:22 AM

Bazzite is like Fedora with overlays right? So it updates as fast as silverblue does?

valvix•4/15/24, 6:24 AM

It at least appears to be slower going

Vvalvix Bazzite is like Fedora with overlays right? So it updates as fast as silverblue ...

Valerie•4/15/24, 6:26 AM

Should be pretty much as fast

VValerie Should be pretty much as fast

valvix•4/15/24, 6:27 AM

I used to have to enable distrobox-git to get an update that already was there on silverblue-nvidia
And now people seemingly got a problem fixed with a kernel update a week ago that I'm still experiencing https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/unable-to-shut-down-system-after-latest-kernel-update/111543/39

Unable to shut down system after latest kernel update

Does the system have the Dell firmware updates? Check with sudo fwupdtool get-updates.
