Gamescope thinks super key is pressed

I’ve reinstalled bazzite just to see if I did something silly. But the problem still exists.

If I run anything with gamescope, I can’t use any button that is a gamescope shortcut. For example I can’t press S , as it just takes a screenshot. Or F as it toggles full screen.

try just press the super key, sounds like the key is just stuck in software and you can just unstuck it usually by just pressing ctrl+alt+super

Nah it’s not the obvious ones. I wonder if this is gnome related? Reinstalling with KDE this time.

this is fixed in git and will be in gamescope 3.16.2

It’s also consistently reproing but only in gamescope

In the meantime is there a workaround?

matt_schwartz•1/6/25, 1:17 AM

maybe --backend sdl--backend sdl but youll lose hdr

matt_schwartz•1/6/25, 1:18 AM

as a launch option for gamescope i mean, ie gamescope --backend sdl -- vkcubegamescope --backend sdl -- vkcube

AmirOP•1/6/25, 1:21 AM

Ah, that just doesn’t open anything for me

AmirOP•1/6/25, 1:28 AM

Workaround: turn off numlock

AmirOP•1/6/25, 1:28 AM

lol

God I hate Linux sometimes

AmirOP•1/6/25, 1:34 AM

Any idea why no one else has reported this issue before on bazzite?

At least a simple search didn’t find anything
