not much of a real change when the biggest issue is that you have to use an out of tree module at all

RRobotta it says /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/just-perfection-desktop@just-perfectio...

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:11 AM

This is because the upstream RPM spec file is faulty.

They didn't update it to copy AND compile resource file to proper location for drawing extension preferences.

They copy resource xml file only to this false location:

/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/just-perfection-desktop@just-perfection/data/resources.gresource.xml/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/just-perfection-desktop@just-perfection/data/resources.gresource.xml

while also not compiling it

instead of copying the resource file here & compiling it

/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/just-perfection-desktop@just-perfection/resources.gresource/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/just-perfection-desktop@just-perfection/resources.gresource

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:13 AM

Ohh it's a upstream issue with the extension?

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:13 AM

That explains it

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:13 AM

packager issue

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:13 AM

not upstream

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:13 AM

Should I wait then

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:13 AM

gnome-extensionsgnome-extensions BlueBuild module doesn't have this issue

RRobotta Should I wait then

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:13 AM

wait

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:13 AM

potentially inform the packager about this issue

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:14 AM

I'm using bazzite-gnome

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:14 AM

Whom should I inform?

Maxi•7/18/24, 11:14 AM

Greetings! Quick question, what is the difference between the two? If nothing, which one is the "default" option?

Maxi•7/18/24, 11:14 AM

MMaxi Click to see attachment

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:14 AM

User installs the app locally, the other installs it system level

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:15 AM

If there's only one user in your pc, you can choose whatever

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:15 AM

I personally prefer the user option

RRobotta User installs the app locally, the other installs it system level

Maxi•7/18/24, 11:15 AM

Thank you!
This means if I install it system level, and make a new user account, that account can use the program too?

MMaxi Thank you! This means if I install it system level, and make a new user account,...

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:15 AM

Yes

Maxi•7/18/24, 11:15 AM

Thanks!

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:16 AM

If you install it system level, any user in that system can use it
If you install user level, only that user has access to it

RRobotta Whom should I inform?

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:16 AM

Either

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/userinfo?userID=3445

or

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/userinfo?userID=3925

Those 2 packagers are maintaining that extension RPM

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:17 AM

Can't find the email of them & can't bother using BugZilla to report the bug

Robotta•7/18/24, 11:19 AM

I'll try reporting it later

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:32 AM

is it a bot for something?

Jan•7/18/24, 11:32 AM

kinda

Jan•7/18/24, 11:32 AM

releng stands for "release engineering"

Jan•7/18/24, 11:33 AM

its a shared account used for common non invasive tasks
like rebuilding a package for a new Fedora version

fiftydinar•7/18/24, 11:33 AM

ohh, makes sense

So if the new model of Steam Deck comes out next year (Yes the thing which people calls Steam Deck 2Steam Deck 2) will I have to wait until Bazzite gets support for the new model of Steam Deck?

Jan•7/18/24, 11:37 AM

maybe

Jan•7/18/24, 11:38 AM

When the Steam Deck released most of the expected functionality wasn't available on normal Linux, though Valve was very much in the process of getting stuff working

Sp4rkR4t V2.6270•7/18/24, 11:40 AM

We are getting a deck for the family, my daughter and me already run bazzite on our gaming desktops, if I stick bazzite on the deck is there anything missing feature wise from the steamOS defaults, any issues with multiple accounts on the deck or anything like that?

better drivers?

asen23•7/18/24, 12:00 PM

afaik bazzite is feature parity with steam os + much more, probably most issue come from third party steamdeck utilities like decky extension expecting steamdeck default like file location or deck as username

JJanniesWorkForFree better drivers?

dreamyuki•7/18/24, 12:20 PM

better opensource driver like NVK

Lauraposs the Fluffy•7/18/24, 12:38 PM

Hey, so last night i installed bazzite and it kept going to black screen, someone here told me that was a kernel issue and it's fixed now... well i redownloaded the image, reinstalled (even checked checksums and everything this time) and the exact same thing happened.
I boot, the boot process seems to work normally, until it goes into a blackscreen instead of booting kde or game mode, i'm on steam deck with the latest kde steam deck image from the website

Ramsay•7/18/24, 12:49 PM

Your selected hardware does not support Steam Gaming Mode at this time. The Desktop version of Bazzite is still available.

Ramsay•7/18/24, 12:49 PM

Lauraposs the Fluffy•7/18/24, 12:57 PM

aww dang.. wiped all my game configurations on steam deck for nothing :/ i guess i'll try and make this inatallation boot into kde somehow and like... just see how well i can use it with just desktop and steam big picture
