Have any steam deck users noticed a performance benefit from using bazzite vs steamOS? I'm considering putting bazzite on mine due to the year-old kernel and mesa it has on steamOS.

Yeah I do come from linux, and I know how to checksum the iso, I was having trouble with the installing fedora kinoite and then rebasing part. I have read the instructions in the docs and now I know what I have to do, thank you

hey @Kyle Gospo

Just found this tool here for managing appimages from the command line nice and easy and it works stellar in bazzite/silverblue. Might be something worth considering for Bazzite in future because currently there's no like, super duper easy way to manage appimages inherently but this is extremely comfy and functional! https://zap.srev.in/

On Legion GO, just finished the latest update. First time was a successful update. It said there was another update so I just went ahead and started that one also. After restarting. I am now getting a black screen after the bazzite splash screen, anyone got any ideas?

Original_Z•5/3/24, 4:53 AM

Hey all, trying to see if anyone has any ideas about this issue i've been running into on bazzite with the Z1 Extreme chip on legion go. While playing the Witcher 3, the game will consistently crash and do a hard reboot while loading into the game world. i tried this on both 04/06 image and latest image as well. I looked at some logs and the line that stuck out to me during the crash was

May 02 01:10:35 fedora kernel: [drm:amdgpu_job_timedout [amdgpu]] ERROR ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, but soft recovered

May 02 01:10:35 fedora kernel: [drm:amdgpu_job_timedout [amdgpu]] ERROR ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, but soft recovered

Preventing me from playing it reliably as sometimes it loads in but most times crashes on game loading in (into game world not menus). I notice it a lot more often, almost consistently whenever my tdp is below 20 watts.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for me to try please let me know

Kyle Gospo•5/3/24, 5:16 AM

I ship a flatpak that does some of this, but the delta upgrades are cool

Kyle Gospo•5/3/24, 5:16 AM

and this could be integrated into topgrade

Kyle Gospo•5/3/24, 5:16 AM

so appimages auto-update w/ bazzite

Astral•5/3/24, 5:43 AM

mmm!

Astral•5/3/24, 5:43 AM

you can also install and use it at a user level, if you point it to the gearlever folder then gearlever can work with it too and it makes fetching appimages from github pretty easy too

Astral•5/3/24, 6:01 AM

used it on my end to install some bits and pieces and it works really well

FennecTECH•5/3/24, 6:11 AM

Is it possible to disable the flashing lights while sleeping on ally without windows?

Geechan•5/3/24, 6:39 AM

I think integrating Zap in topgrade would be a brilliant idea personally

Geechan•5/3/24, 6:40 AM

Anything to reduce human error caused by forgetting to update Appimages would be welcome

Valerie•5/3/24, 6:41 AM

I mean maybe making it a ujust command could be ok, but like we already have gear lever.

Geechan•5/3/24, 7:11 AM

The difference is it automates everything about Appimages, which in my opinion is in the spirit of ublue to begin with

Geechan•5/3/24, 7:18 AM

There's this point too though

Geechan•5/3/24, 7:20 AM

It doesn't necessarily have to be one or the other

Valerie•5/3/24, 7:22 AM

I'd keep gear lever whatever the case. Replacing GUI tools with CLI ones on an OS recommended heavily to newcomers isn't a great idea. Personally I'd have zap behind ujust, but I don't know if it could still be integrated into topgrade if that was the case.

Geechan•5/3/24, 7:24 AM

I mean yeah, it's good to keep Gear Lever around for GUI management at least. However being able to automatically update your installed AppImages was the main point I was focusing on. The biggest issue with AppImages are how they're treated as individual apps you need to manage manually, so if that can be mitigated or eliminated I think it's a good idea

Geechan•5/3/24, 7:25 AM

If it's possible to integrate Zap in a seamless way to topgrade while keeping Gear Lever for GUI management, I don't see any issue

Geechan•5/3/24, 7:30 AM

The two tools feel like they'd fill a niche the other doesn't if they work in tandem. There's also no CLI way to manage AppImages at the moment, so having both options would be welcome

Exceed•5/3/24, 7:45 AM

Wwolfyreload Pleasure. Hope that you come right 🙂

wolfyreload•5/3/24, 7:50 AM

So you getting the same error in Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite? If you have Bazzite on a different disk you could remove all the partitions of the disk and do a clean install, the installer might be getting confused with one of the partitions that is on the disk and raising the error

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 7:52 AM

I am dual booting it, it worked before a few days ago but now it's not, I always delete all the partitions on the disk except for the windows partitions

wolfyreload•5/3/24, 7:54 AM

Hmmm, try booting a live distro of fedora, ubuntu or mint. Doesn't really matter. Open the efi partition and check if there is a Fedora folder. I have seen re-installs fail with dual boot due to this, the installer fails because it cannot write to the efi fedora folder because it's already there.

wolfyreload•5/3/24, 7:55 AM

Actually this will fix it. 🛟bazzite-helpdual-booting installation troubles see this thread, same issue

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 7:56 AM

Ok wait let me check and come back again with an update on the situation

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 7:57 AM

Just one question, how do I open the efi partition?

wolfyreload•5/3/24, 7:59 AM

If you boot from a live distro it will probably show in the list of partitions that you can mount

antheas•5/3/24, 8:00 AM

This is a catchall error

antheas•5/3/24, 8:00 AM

Essentially the deployment command fails and exits -1

antheas•5/3/24, 8:00 AM

And the trash fedora installer eats the error

antheas•5/3/24, 8:01 AM

You need to go to a separate tty to get the error

antheas•5/3/24, 8:01 AM

I was told

antheas•5/3/24, 8:01 AM

I installed bazzite yesterday with manual partitioning and it worked fine

antheas•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

But the partitioning structure is also complex

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

Umm... Now I'm confused

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

Let me try the method by @wolfyreload

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

Then if that doesn't work, I'll try yours @antheas

antheas•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

I don't think I mentioned a method

antheas•5/3/24, 8:03 AM

If it errors out look at the tty for the error
