lemme say it like this:

1. Files are on Drive A
2. I copy them to Drive B, now they're on Drives A and B
3. I wipe Drive A completely, it's now empty
4. I check Drive B, turns out the files didn't copy properly and essentially everything is gone aside empty folders

Anyone run into issues using gamescope where you go to alt tab to a browser and only the virtual desktop for the game is visible

HikariKnight•4/27/24, 12:43 PM

how did you do the copy, also did you actually check if the progress was 100% done before even ejecting drive B (so that the remaining transfered files get flushed to the drive before you remove it if they havent been moved yet)
kde and gnomes file managers do not show progress in a clear way, often hiding it into a small icon either in the file manager or tray.

because linux tends to make the empty folders first, then copy files so it sounds like an incomplete transfer.

a notification said the transfer completed successfully

this sucks i dont know why gw2 isnt launching anymore

TThis is a username a notification said the transfer completed successfully

HikariKnight•4/27/24, 12:51 PM

means it can still be cached in ram and wont get force flushed before you eject the drive (unmount)

no lol, it can't

This is a usernameOP•4/27/24, 12:58 PM

this happened like yesterday, it's long gone

TThis is a username no lol, it can't

HikariKnight•4/27/24, 12:59 PM

im talking when it said it was complete, it could still be in flight in ram because of how the disk caching work in linux

TThis is a username a notification said the transfer completed successfully

halva•4/27/24, 1:02 PM

it's a quirk with most modern oses, they don't exactly tell you when the transfer is actually complete because of caching
that's why you need to safe eject pen drives

halva•4/27/24, 1:03 PM

that can happen anywhere from windows to android

halva•4/27/24, 1:04 PM

altho if you did do the whole safe ejection song and dance, then that's really odd

HikariKnight•4/27/24, 1:11 PM

exactly

antheas•4/27/24, 1:19 PM

windows disables RAM caching but as far as I know its the only os to do so

antheas•4/27/24, 1:19 PM

for hotpluggable drives

halva•4/27/24, 1:20 PM

it should but in my experience it's very hit or miss with guessing which drives are actually hotpluggable

antheas•4/27/24, 1:20 PM

thats also true

antheas•4/27/24, 1:21 PM

still is a bad idea to yank drives. But linux is particularly bad in that regard

antheas•4/27/24, 1:21 PM

transfers can finish half an hour before they actually do

halva•4/27/24, 1:21 PM

yea

halva•4/27/24, 1:22 PM

i think it's just a good idea in general to never assume those notifications are true

wangjangler•4/27/24, 1:22 PM

speaking of drivers is there any reason why I cant use my drawing tablet on bazzite lol

antheas•4/27/24, 1:22 PM

it should work

wangjangler•4/27/24, 1:22 PM

I installed the opentabletdrivers and otd-gui detects my tablet but my mouse doesnt like Move

antheas•4/27/24, 1:22 PM

unless the open tablet drivers did not make it to f40

antheas•4/27/24, 1:23 PM

did you try krita?

wangjangler•4/27/24, 1:23 PM

I'm using rnote which worked on endeavouros
cursor is supposed to move when I use the pen on the tablet but it isnt

wangjangler•4/27/24, 1:24 PM

but yea OTD is detecting it

antheas•4/27/24, 1:25 PM

rebooting a couple times always helps, cant say much more

antheas•4/27/24, 1:25 PM

could also be a flatpak quirk

antheas•4/27/24, 1:25 PM

since i assume you installed from the arch repos on endeavouros

ott.tar.gz•4/27/24, 1:27 PM

It seems like my system has a pretty high chance of completely hanging when attempting to load GNOME after logging in , in the asus-nvidia image for Fedora 40

I had to boot into 39 to even get to the desktop properly

how can i bring up the keyboard on the rog ally in bazzite in desktop mode, when in mouse mode (I held down the crate button to activate mouse mode)

ott.tar.gz•4/27/24, 1:31 PM

If there's some kind of "super" button (on the Steam Deck it's the Steam button), press that in combination with X. As long as Steam is running, it should show the same one as on the deck

char•4/27/24, 1:33 PM

oh i needed to press the left most button + x

char•4/27/24, 1:33 PM

its centered and looks weird, how can i make it be stretched?

Cchar its centered and looks weird, how can i make it be stretched?

ott.tar.gz•4/27/24, 1:35 PM

Sadly, I'm unaware of how to do that, the keyboard is by-and-large mostly tailored for the Steam Deck's screen

ott.tar.gz•4/27/24, 1:38 PM

I'm by no means the final word on this, the devs are pretty active here so maybe one of them can chime in..?

Cchar oh i needed to press the left most button + x

antheas•4/27/24, 1:44 PM

The ROG buttons are not holdable

antheas•4/27/24, 1:44 PM

You'll have to swap them with start select to do that

it works fine in the gamescope ui

char•4/27/24, 1:45 PM

but it looks weirdly centered in the desktop mode

Aantheas The ROG buttons are not holdable

char•4/27/24, 1:47 PM

ahh

antheas•4/27/24, 1:47 PM

Can also bind it to just x

So I just updated to Bazzite 3.0, used

rpm-ostree upgrade

rpm-ostree upgrade

, and stuck on a black screen with a non-blinking terminal cursor on the top left. It never reached the login screen ever, even after an hour of waiting. What could be the problem here?

Exceed•4/27/24, 2:28 PM

fedora distros really need to get this crackling sound issue fixed, it literally ONLY happens on fedora and fedora based distros to me

ott.tar.gz•4/27/24, 2:43 PM

Running a system update from Fedora 39 did the trick. We're rolling.
