Can't set up on Legion Go

Hi! Please help!

Just tried flashing this twice following Cyber Dopamine's guide on YouTube, and it fails at the same point twice with two different USB sticks. Everything worked well up until this point, C drive has been resized, secure boot off, image is flashed and verified.

What gives?

HikariKnight•4/28/24, 1:19 PM

check if the checksum of the iso matches with what is expected

1824724f570476046b810b761ec7786c69edded9cd059b2477e67fa8920401c8  bazzite-deck-stable.iso

1824724f570476046b810b761ec7786c69edded9cd059b2477e67fa8920401c8  bazzite-deck-stable.iso

these checksums are

sha256

sha256

if they match just dont test the media at boot and just choose the other option to just boot right into the installer

ShoFukamachiOP•4/28/24, 1:22 PM

I will! How do I check the checksum?

wolfyreload•4/28/24, 1:47 PM

If you have a Windows box then you can use 7-zip, to calculate the sha256 checksum. If you on linux you can just use the sha25sum <path-to-iso-file>

ShoFukamachiOP•4/28/24, 1:56 PM

I'll report back later tonight!

wolfyreload•4/28/24, 1:59 PM

I hope it's an iso checksum issue as that's going to be much easier to fix

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 5:30 PM

This is the checksum of the bazzite I downloaded: 1824724f570476046b810b761ec7786c69edded9cd059b2477e67fa8920401c8

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 5:30 PM

Looks the same to me! So I'll try again and ignore the test at set up

wolfyreload•4/29/24, 6:11 PM

That's good news,

. Hope the install goes well

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 6:49 PM

Hey, it worked! Yay!

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 6:49 PM

Thanks for all the help!

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 6:50 PM

And, I formatted the SD card in NTFS, but Steam OS is asking me to format it again. I guess I can't play games from the SD card in both Windows and Steam?

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 6:54 PM

Hmm, it doesn't recognise the SD card unless I remove it and put it back in, then why I try to format it it says FORMAT ERROR

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 6:57 PM

uh oh, restarting didn't help

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 7:00 PM

Well, Windows can see it fine, and my game is still on there

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 7:00 PM

Any thoughts?

wolfyreload•4/29/24, 7:09 PM

You might be able to format the SD card to BTRFS, and then install the BTRFS driver in Windows, if you want to share the SD card between both operating systems. Think I've seen some solved threads on it

wolfyreload•4/29/24, 7:13 PM

Have a look at this link, might help you 🛟bazzite-helpShared partition/sd card for dual boot windows and bazzite

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 7:27 PM

Brilliant, thanks! Looks complicated but I'll try!

Failed right away haha

(NTFS method) Share SDCard between SteamOS & Windows

So you dual-booted your Steam Deck, but not sure how to access the sdcard on both? Then this is the video for you!

Commands:
passwd
lsblk
lsblk -oNAME,UUID
sudo nano /etc/fstab
UUID=(UUID here) /run/media/deck/(Name of sdcard) lowntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,umask=000,nofail 0 0

Thanks to @ChinballsGaming for the commands, make sure ...

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 9:18 PM

The first few commands work, I'm at 1:34 where I had to copy the name of my SD card. Well, mine doesn't have a name! It's recognised in the previous step

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 9:19 PM

It has no UUID

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 9:19 PM

What should I do?

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 10:36 PM

OK, sorted it: had the actually name the card in Windows

ShoFukamachiOP•4/29/24, 10:38 PM

Completed that tutorial, and it's showing in both

wolfyreload•4/30/24, 3:45 AM

Sweet!. Great news

HikariKnight•4/30/24, 5:41 AM

im just going to say this, we do not support using ntfs for your games, this is covered in our documentation
we only support btrfs and ext4 (both again covered in the documentation)

Kyle Gospo•4/30/24, 6:45 AM

yup, glad it's working for you but I'm afraid if you end up needing support with games we're more than likely going to tell you to reformat that card before even attempting to debug whatever might be wrong

ShoFukamachiOP•4/30/24, 11:53 AM

Is that because NTFS is buggy with Bazzite?

SShoFukamachi Is that because NTFS is buggy with Bazzite?

Kyle Gospo•4/30/24, 2:35 PM

It's because NTFS is unsupported by Valve for Proton and is known to cause issues

ShoFukamachiOP•4/30/24, 5:07 PM

Well bazzite now recognises the games installed on the SD card by Windows, but won't launch them. Must be these bugs you're talking about haha

ShoFukamachiOP•4/30/24, 5:07 PM

I guess this just isn't possible. Ah well

Kyle Gospo•4/30/24, 5:07 PM

Yeah that tracks

HikariKnight•4/30/24, 5:14 PM

im going to say it right out then since you skipped over what i said essentially, and i doubt it gets covered in the video
https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs?tab=readme-ov-file#mappings
you need to do the part mentioned in the Mappings section so that windows uses the correct uid and gid (1000) which must be tied to your windows accounts SID when using the btrfs system
the default is using

which is root and will cause issues when you jump back over to bazzite (or any linux system)

GitHub

ShoFukamachiOP•4/30/24, 5:24 PM

"The user mappings are stored in the registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\btrfs\Mappings. Create a DWORD with the name of your Windows SID (e.g. S-1-5-21-1379886684-2432464051-424789967-1001), and the value of your Linux uid (e.g. 1000). It will take effect next time the driver is loaded."

Absolutely no idea what this means haha

ShoFukamachiOP•4/30/24, 5:29 PM

How and where do I create a DWORD?

HikariKnight•4/30/24, 5:43 PM

regedit

HikariKnight•4/30/24, 5:43 PM

HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

HikariKnight•4/30/24, 5:44 PM

other than that follow the path in regedit they mention and you can make a DWORD (32-bit) inside the "Mappings" folder

ShoFukamachiOP•4/30/24, 6:06 PM

Sorry, I still don't follow. Can you (or someone) write a step by step on exactly what I should do?

HikariKnight•4/30/24, 6:24 PM

open regedit (in windows)
go to the path they specify (after the install and reboot)
right click inside the
```
Mappings folder
```
```
Mappings folder
```
make the DWORD (32bit) entry and name it the same as your windows SID (see the link on how to get that)
set the decimal value for the dword entry to 1000

ShoFukamachiOP•4/30/24, 6:55 PM

Wonderful, thanks!

ShoFukamachiOP•4/30/24, 6:56 PM

I'll report back
