matt_schwartz•5/8/24, 4:00 AM

that just looks like a command I should be scared of though

Hi guys, I'm a total noob on linux. But managed my way to this distro, even on a dualboot install on my pc with the deck.iso version.
Now I'm stuck on this waydroid install.

Thanks in advance

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:07 AM

you installed the deck.iso version on your desktop PC?

AAstral you installed the deck.iso version on your desktop PC?

catface•5/8/24, 4:09 AM

yep. Just for a try on this. With a spare ssd and Ryzen5 3400g

Ccatface yep. Just for a try on this. With a spare ssd and Ryzen5 3400g

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:09 AM

you should have installed the desktop ISO

catface•5/8/24, 4:10 AM

but my point was about having this machine as a HTPC for couch gaming

catface•5/8/24, 4:14 AM

So... The system sound smooth with the R5 3400g 12ram + 4gb to the RX Vega 11 APU.

Deck mode boots

desktop mode too

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:16 AM

you can install game mode using a desktop image

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:16 AM

select "home theatre PC" from the drop down

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:17 AM

and it will ask at the bottom if you want steam gaming mode, select yes and that will install gaming mode to autostart

AAstral select "home theatre PC" from the drop down

for waydroid installation use the ujust command

catface•5/8/24, 4:21 AM

done it and during the installation process I got this loop

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:21 AM

md5 mismatch points towards an internet connection related issue potentially

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:32 AM

Welp, back to GNOME I gooooooo

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 4:43 AM

Does anyone know if there's a decky loader plugin that helps you tweak refresh rate

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 4:44 AM

The newest Gamepad UI has removed the ability to tweak refresh rate on a per-game profile basis (at least on Bazzite with a desktop PC) while it's still working fine on a SteamOS+Steam Deck connected to external displays, and I'm hoping maybe there might be a way around this

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:49 AM

Hmm, might be a scriptable way to do it, will have a nosey

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:49 AM

Steam Tinker Launcher might be able to force a particular resolution when you launch a game actually

AstralOP•5/8/24, 4:49 AM

I think that's an option

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 4:55 AM

that wouldn't be bad but that sounds like it's not too different from the current workaround I've got (using mangohud variables) and I'm hoping for something that's a little more on-the-fly tweakable

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 4:57 AM

What I'm hoping for (assuming this settings issue with Gamepad UI never gets fixed) is some sort of quick menu where I could adjust frame rate limits or refresh rate on the fly like we could basically always do before

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:05 AM

Ehhhh that might not be possible in the current state. If they patched it out there's probably a reason for that. You could always TRY and roll back the version?

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 5:06 AM

Mm I tried, haven't had luck

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 5:06 AM

The weird thing is it's not the case on Steam Deck at all, despite both of them being up to date

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 5:08 AM

on Steam Deck I can connect to the same display and get full refresh rate controls and everything, but on Bazzite on my Desktop, it's busted

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:09 AM

What specs are you running?

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:09 AM

Both system and displays

Ellis•5/8/24, 5:10 AM

I can smell hdmi

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 5:11 AM

RX 6800, 32 GB RAM, Ryzen 5 5600X3D. Display is a 170 Hz ASUS gaming monitor connected via DisplayPort

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:11 AM

Hmm, odd

EEllis I can smell hdmi

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 5:11 AM

Ironically, the Deck has the refresh rate slider controls when connected via HDMI (no freesync on my dock tho)

Ellis•5/8/24, 5:11 AM

Okay now that’s bizarre. Also nice CPU

Ellis•5/8/24, 5:12 AM

If only they sold those here

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 5:12 AM

thanks lol, it was a lucky bit of timing with Microcenter

EmKUltra64•5/8/24, 5:12 AM

I felt a lil silly when they announced the 5700X3D for only a little more than I paid tho

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:13 AM

I need to upgrade to one of the 3D chips at some point... When I have money

wonderfulvoltaire•5/8/24, 5:15 AM

I'm on beta channel and in gamescope session usually there's a timeout and it resets the mouse to the bottom right corner which is really fucking annoying. Whatever update they did changed that so I'm not constantly moving my mouse around.

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:45 AM

@Kyle Gospo question, do the ublue staging repos have the xwayland fractional scaling patch applied or was that yoinked? I noticed the older repo I was using isn't properly autobuilding for new mutter changes on the main branch etc then applying the patch so I was wondering if ublue staging has it or if I should maybe just make a fresh copr repo lmao

Kyle Gospo•5/8/24, 5:46 AM

yoinked

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:46 AM

oof

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:46 AM

welp, guess I'm reading up on how to make copr's lmao

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:47 AM

wanna be able to test that patch with newer mutter versions and pull in changes when needs be

AstralOP•5/8/24, 5:48 AM

YouthInAsia•5/8/24, 5:48 AM

I was experiencing this, just rolled bazzite back to the 4/27 release and that fixed for me (I have a similar AMD build).
