Awful boot times on Bazzite Deck
Hi, I’ve just installed Bazzite Deck and for some reason my boot times are abysmal, the only way I’ve been able to properly boot into game mode has been logging in tty and using sudo systemctl restart sddm
JBtw my hardware is an i7 7700, Rx 580 and I’m booting on an ssd, and the btrfs volume is shared between an ssd and hdd
JI was able to reproduce booting into gamemode, I have to login to a tty, then type “sudo systemctl restart sddm”, and type it again on the same tty, idk why this works but it does
JIf not it boots into a black screen, kinda loss for words and have no idea what to do so yeah posting it here
Awhat do you mean shared?
JCreated a btrfs volume that uses both an hdd and an ssd, cause I’m dual booting and it required btrfs so I thought why not
Auh the ostree technology is cursed it needs an ssd
JMaybe that’s messing me up but idk, still should boot properly cause the efi and boot are on the ssd
JGod dammit
Awhen i booted bazzite using usb 2 it never booted gamemode
JAight re installing again
Ai tried a pretty expensive flash drive it took half an hour
Assds work great
JJesus that’s rough
JInstalling bazzite also was a pain in the bum for me but at least I know what to do now
A2-3m with usb3 sata ssd
JWow
JThat is actually insane
Aprobably will be faster with internal
JNow im totally reinstalling
JOk then, still gonna leave this open if it doesn’t work but I guess that that should do it
Hjust to chime in for comparisons sake, literally a few seconds to boot on an NVME capable of 2GBs transfer rate. so yeah, i could see it taking a couple minutes on one of my decade old slower ssds that max out at like 200MBs
JUpdate, tried to reinstall but couldn’t, so I installed fedora kinoite and tried to rebase but couldn’t either, so I guess I’m gonna try Nobara for now, and if that doesn’t work imma try again
