Weird

Hold the power button

all that did was turn it off

For 40s

If that doesn't fix it

antheas•7/13/25, 8:49 AM

Oof

Hi, I had the same issue with the shoulder buttons. For me installing the test / development version of handheld daemon fixed the issue temporarily. I could even control the LED lights and it seems that TDP control is also working. https://github.com/hhd-dev/hhd?tab=readme-ov-file#bazzite
However, I have yet to figure out how to permanently install it so it survives a reboot (never used a fedora based distribution before).
I am also wondering whether I installed the wrong bazzite version, as it seems that handheld daemon should be preinstalled for all Non-SteamDeck handhelds.

You need to update bazzite

antheas•7/25/25, 10:46 AM

There are no claw improvements that are unreased currently

Aantheas You need to update bazzite

Hoellenfuerst•7/25/25, 11:30 AM

Thank you for the reply. I installed bazzite yesterday and it shows no updates if I select "system upgrade" in desktop mode.

Maybe I have the wrong version of bazzite?
I followed the "Download bazzite-deck Live ISO (BETA) " link to "https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-deck-stable-live.iso" because the MSI Claw Support says "(BETA)" on the download page.

So you installed on the a8?

antheas•7/25/25, 11:32 AM

Support for that is coming in the next version that's correct

Aantheas So you installed on the a8?

Hoellenfuerst•7/25/25, 11:37 AM

No, I have the A1M Claw, the variant with the 155H Ultra 7 processor.

antheas•7/25/25, 12:14 PM

That support was added long ago

Hoellenfuerst•7/25/25, 1:02 PM

Ok then I wonder why my shoulder buttons do not work. Did I install the wrong version of bazzite?

I am on the latest BIOS version (E1T41IMS.10E), could this make a difference in controller support?

antheas•7/25/25, 1:14 PM

You installed the correct version

antheas•7/25/25, 1:14 PM

What's your controller firmware version

Hoellenfuerst•7/25/25, 1:14 PM

Ok, I figured it out. I missed the hint on how to enable HDD on https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/Handheld_Wiki/Other_Handhelds/#hhd-setup-if-not-enabled-by-default-on-device

antheas•7/25/25, 1:15 PM

Ok so we're missing a few IDs

antheas•7/25/25, 1:15 PM

I'll add them

Aantheas What's your controller firmware version

Hoellenfuerst•7/25/25, 1:17 PM

Can you give me instructions on how to find the firmware version of the controller?

antheas•7/25/25, 1:17 PM

When you updated it the updater showed it

antheas•7/25/25, 1:17 PM

Anyway not the problem

Hoellenfuerst•7/25/25, 1:18 PM

Also, my claw has one issue: it was repaired at MSI and got a new mainboard. Since then the product name in BIOS says "Please change product name" instead of "MSI Claw A1M". Does bazzite use this information to find out on which system it is installed?

antheas•7/25/25, 1:40 PM

We use board info for this

antheas•7/25/25, 1:40 PM

But yes I guess the activation uses the product name

Aantheas Support for that is coming in the next version that's correct

Hello, I have the A8 and none of my controller inputs are working. I tried updating to the beta and preview channel and trying the HHD setup, but no dice. Is there anything else I can try?
