no i literally just use gnome boxes and it works

lewOP•7/28/24, 5:12 PM

ah okay

FFelis Bieti Has anyone had success dual-booting Bazzite and Bluefin?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/28/24, 5:13 PM

@ChaiQi you dual booted a couple of fedora atomic OSes on the same drive right?

haxwagon•7/28/24, 5:17 PM

Hey friends! I'm new to Bazzite... is the expected behavior that "switch to desktop" leaves gaming mode and goes right to whatever DE (I used gnome)? Or will it stop at the display manager to choose a session?

Ttryhardsoccermomswag @Crush youve run bazzite with proxmox right?

Valerie•7/28/24, 5:17 PM

Briefly yeah

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:17 PM

Going straight to your desktop is expected, that's exactly how Steam OS functions

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:17 PM

You're never shown the login screen

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:17 PM

If you need a lock screen, Steam can provide one in its own settings in game mode

VValerie Briefly yeah

lewOP•7/28/24, 5:17 PM

could you help me get it running, it doesnt want to run with my GPU when i add the PCI passthrough to the VM.

lewOP•7/28/24, 5:18 PM

before i added it, it just crashed during install. (hope thats the reason)

Valerie•7/28/24, 5:19 PM

Might be a bit beyond me, sorry

lewOP•7/28/24, 5:19 PM

you said you've ran bazzite on proxmox?

lewOP•7/28/24, 5:20 PM

i know how to do PCI passthrough, i just wanna know how to get bazzite working since it just crashes on me.

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:20 PM

what gpu are you passing through?

lewOP•7/28/24, 5:20 PM

AMD Radeon 470

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:20 PM

might be too old

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:21 PM

gamescope is picky

lewOP•7/28/24, 5:21 PM

for it to even boot?

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:21 PM

boot no, reach gamemode yes

lewOP•7/28/24, 5:21 PM

it doesnt even boot, says something about QEMU exiting with code 1

haxwagon•7/28/24, 5:23 PM

Ok, yeah, that's what i'm used to with my SteamDeck... with Bazzite, however, it just returns back to gaming mode after i try to go to desktop.

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:25 PM

that would be your DE crashing

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:25 PM

in that case

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 5:25 PM

would need a log to know why

KKyle Gospo that would be your DE crashing

haxwagon•7/28/24, 5:27 PM

perfect. do you know where the gnome session log is? I can start triaging from that

yes

FFelis Bieti Has anyone had success dual-booting Bazzite and Bluefin?

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 5:28 PM

Ah, this is doable
It requires "advanced-custom" manual partitioning, and a certain cursed trick

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 5:29 PM

Partitioning scheme here https://github.com/aarron-lee/legion-go-tricks/blob/main/bazzite-dualboot-partition-guide.md

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 5:30 PM

The trick is that to install fedora atomic twice, you need to create a separate system-efi partition for the second copy

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 5:31 PM

Windows can be added to each copy of Grub; there may or may not be a way to add other copies/types of Linux, I don't know, but it doesn't happen automatically

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 5:32 PM

The only way (that I know of) to toggle between Bazzite and Bluefin installed in parallel is the BIOS/UEFI boot menu

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 5:32 PM

Which is entirely doable - it's just much less convenient than going directly through Grub

The Red Rebel•7/28/24, 5:41 PM

hello anyone got an idea on how to run Nexus mods on bazzite ?

The Red Rebel•7/28/24, 5:42 PM

should i layer it or flatpack or distrobox it ?

TThe Red Rebel hello anyone got an idea on how to run Nexus mods on bazzite ?

on proton game just install it normally i think

on native game not sure

Felis Bieti•7/28/24, 5:48 PM

This is what I was worried about

Felis Bieti•7/28/24, 5:48 PM

I don't mind going through the bios but it's a little more friction to change the preferred boot order each time

Felis Bieti•7/28/24, 5:48 PM

But thanks for the link. I'll consider it but I might just keep using two separate machines

FFelis Bieti I don't mind going through the bios but it's a little more friction to change th...

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 5:55 PM

Yep

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 5:56 PM

Again, someone who knows more about configuring Grub might have a way to add boot options from elsewhere on the system, since it works for Windows

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 5:56 PM

I just don't know how or where to look for that info

CChaiQi Again, someone who knows more about configuring Grub might have a way to add boo...

asen23•7/28/24, 6:09 PM

Cant you use same efi partition for both system? Or is it a limitation from atomic fedora

Felis Bieti•7/28/24, 6:10 PM

I had nix and silverblue on the same system at one point and nix's grub could recognize silverblue deployments? So probably possible somehow

asen23•7/28/24, 6:11 PM

Grub is grub, pretty sure you can easily use same efi for traditional distro

Aasen23 Cant you use same efi partition for both system? Or is it a limitation from atom...

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 6:12 PM

Usually you can. The tricky part is that I was effectively installing two copies of the same OS in parallel, which an automated installer can't really do in the same place without name/reference conflicts

asen23•7/28/24, 6:13 PM

I mean you are already use custom partitioning anyway right? Cant you reuse the efi? Just need to make sure it is big enough

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 6:14 PM

I don't know if you can do that with any OS at all

asen23•7/28/24, 6:14 PM

Maybe i will try to experiment in vm when i can

ChaiQi•7/28/24, 6:16 PM

The consensus of Ublue / Red Hat / OS installer / general OS development people here regarding a lot of things I have done was "nobody ever does that, I have no idea"

you know anything about it? i forgot to add my PCI device but now when I add it the VM refuses to bo
