(Surface Pro 6) After Installing Issue
I just installed bazzite but it just shows a black screen — as if it's failing to show a graphical interface, when I try going to terminal using Ctrl + Alt + F2, the terminal comes up

If you can get in terminal, can you type
ujust logs-this-boot | fpaste and post the URL here?yes
It says no text to send
try
ujust logs-last-boot | fpaste
but still weird, make sure you typed it correctlylibwacom is crashing gnome-shell
@antheas Apr 19 22:15:39 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[3617]: libwacom:ERROR:../libwacom/libwacom-database.c:141:bus_to_str: code should not be reached
Looks like libwacom is broken on current build and crashing gnome
Could also be that its a surface-specific issue
but seems like libwacom is at fault here
yikes
Is there a way I can fix it?
surface pro uses wacom-enabled touch i guess?
blacklisting libwacom but that means no touch
its a kernel driver
oh wait never mind its not its userspace
when you're in terminal, for now you should be able to do
rpm-ostree override remove libwacom
then rebootalright
it probably means no touch controls though
do you have a keyboard attached?
or the keyboard accessoires
and you'll also need a mouse
yes
but that might at least get you to boot into gnome
Another option might be to reinstall to the KDE version instead. Could be that it's not broken in KDE.
typo
its
libwacom
not libawacomcrap
mb
im not even sure if surface pro 6 uses libwacom at all
"could not depsolve transaction: 1 problem detected"
what problem does it detect
it should show underneath
i see you can't uninstall it
it would remove mutter
need to figure out why libwacom crashes then
what is your
rpm-ostree status output?
so nothing layered either
build looks broken, maybe revert to earlier build?
alright
I didn't install not too long ago
I installed it yesterday
bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 41.20250331 try thisalright
Thank you for your time and helping me with this
no problem 🙂
:)
does it just reinstall everything?
no
it just rebases the image itself to an older version
since the problem is with a package inside the image, rebasing might help
your home folder and customizations are left intact
okay!
21/27 rn
if that doesn't help, i would maybe try using KDE instead, unless you really want GNOME
(That would require complete reinstallation using a new ISO)
It didn't, it still shows a black screen, I'll try KDE
thank you for your time
It really means a lot :D
I'll have to wait till tmrw to get my sister's laptop to get the iSO
Okay, I hope it works. Weird that nobody else reported the same issue, but I hope KDE version will work for you. 🙂
yea I don't know man
@Kyle Gospo uses a fork
@! Trx Can you try rebasing to a non-surface bazzite. It might work just fine. This way you don't have to reinstall or switch DE.
Using your existing install
In a terminal enter:
brh bazzite-gnome:stable then reboot and prayRebase
Unsupported Option
I managed to get it working
Something related to this but it was a different cmd
Awesome
