hmm try forcing a filesystem check on startup

nagito || Knight of Emilia•8/19/25, 9:01 PM

you can do that by adding

fsck=force

fsck=force

to the kernel's command line if you know how to do that

nagito || Knight of Emilia•8/19/25, 9:02 PM

also you can try rolling back the OS

Well I tried checking the journal in a tty and there was only one line from the last boot and it was a coredump

Fsck skips btrfs file systems I believe which is what bazzite uses

zany130OP•8/19/25, 10:28 PM

Hmm a rollback with

rpm-ostree rollback

rpm-ostree rollback

doesn't help either

Looks like steam isn't working actually I thought it was just not showing on my tv because of the usual HDMI to display port issues I get (sometime it doesn't show a signal)

But I unplugged my TV and I still get a back screen on my monitor so it looks like steam isn't loading either

So I'm just stuck on a black screen on boot I can switch to a tty but trying to switch to plasma gives me another kennel panic so not sure what to do now

tried running btrfs check from a live usb to see if it was myabe a filesystem corruption and nope cam back fine also i could read and write to the disk fine so the disk doesn't seem to be the issue

zany130OP•8/20/25, 1:44 AM

Ok got something interesting in the journal

zany130OP•8/20/25, 1:53 AM

Well this gets even stranger I was able to get into plasma with

steamos-session-select plasma

steamos-session-select plasma

But the desktop doesn't fully load and Internet doesn't work but I can open apps

I tried moving my .config and .local folder to simulate a plasma config reset and no luck same thing

What was in this cursed update

Edit:Internet works fine on my windows install and booting a live USB of Ubuntu also successfully connects to the internet

Guess I'm just going to have to reinstall though I don't want to lose my home partition

I'm just going to reinstall bazzite for like the 3rd time

But I need to go through the ordeal that is backing up your home folder with mixed
Permissions (distrobox and waydroid store there files as root)

what if you use a different user?

nagito || Knight of Emilia•8/20/25, 5:53 PM

does plasma work there

zany130OP•8/20/25, 5:53 PM

i don't think you can use another user on the bazzite deck image

nagito || Knight of Emilia•8/20/25, 5:53 PM

though this is the deck image

zany130OP•8/20/25, 5:54 PM

it disables sddm

Zzany130 it disables sddm

nagito || Knight of Emilia•8/20/25, 5:54 PM

it doesn't

nagito || Knight of Emilia•8/20/25, 5:54 PM

what it does is use autologin

zany130OP•8/20/25, 5:56 PM

anyway i moved out the .config and .local folders from my home which created fresh ones that should be pretty close to doing a new user and loging in to that

nagito || Knight of Emilia•8/20/25, 5:56 PM

i'm thinking it might be something like mesa's shader cache

zany130OP•8/20/25, 5:57 PM

i think thats in .cache ? i tried deleting that to with no luck

Zzany130 i think thats in .cache ? i tried deleting that to with no luck

nagito || Knight of Emilia•8/20/25, 5:58 PM

did you take a look at the logs?

Zzany130 Ok got something interesting in the journal

zany130OP•8/20/25, 5:58 PM

yeah found a lot of crash dumps like this but other then that nothing that would tell me why everything is crashing

zany130OP•8/20/25, 6:01 PM

oh i just had an idea on how i could upload the logs I could pipe it to a file and copy that file to a usb and upload the log on a computer that does have internet let me try that

nagito || Knight of Emilia•8/20/25, 6:01 PM

very curious about why this is

zany130OP•8/20/25, 6:08 PM

huh thats strange im not even getting the full journal anymore with

sudo journalctl -ab 0

sudo journalctl -ab 0

... that is the right way to get a full jorunal of the current boot right?

Yeah that's pretty much what I used except the no hostname it didn't make a difference.

I'm just going to give up on this install I think it's broken beyond saving. I'm trying to reinstall while keeping all my data and configs intact and it's not going well either
