Black screen with cursor after typing password

Upgraded from 20250301 to 20250317 and that happened suddenly...I rolled back now but I want to know whether it's an upstream issue or if my installation is just screwy - how would I debug this?

Steam Deck TDP just show 0 levels.

This is the first installation I made of bazzite-deck:testing. Was about to limit the tdp on the steam interface and the TDP controls are just 0, someone knows a workaround or it's just a update bug? I know other handhelds uses other apps, but just made me wonder what steam deck uses....

Virt-manager gpu passthrough, passthrough issues

I am having issues stubbing and using the secondary GPU in my machine. I had done the
ls-iommu -grk
ls-iommu -grk
command to grab the iommu group ID, which ended up being "0000:01:00.0" so I ran
rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing="vfio_pci.ids=0000:01:00.0"
rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing="vfio_pci.ids=0000:01:00.0"
as instructed by the ujust-virtualization command. I don't know if that's the right ID, as it was much different format than the command suggested. I also can't seem to use that GPU for OpenGL, only it seems to cause graphical errors on the VM screen. Does it matter if the secondary GPU is in the top slot? I have my main GPU in the second slot since it is much bigger and doesn't fit with the mobo up top. SPECS: secondary: GTX 1060 6gb mobo: msi x670 e godlike main: RX 7900XTX...
Solution:
I managed to fix OpenGL by disabling the basic microsoft display adapter

Flag Media Player as Media Player?

Hi. While I multitask and play games I like to have plex open on my other tab. Unfortunately, the desktop doesn't recognize Plex as a media app, and it won't show it the widget and won't respond to keyboard shortcuts for pausing and playing, etc. Is there a way to flag it as such and get it to respond? I can get it to work as a Web App through Firefox but that forces transcoding for the server which I'd prefer not to do. I've tried fiddling around with some settings surrounding plex and installi...

Very low FPS in CS2 on Bazzite

Hi! After i helped my friend with installing and configuring Bazzite, we ran into an issue where his performance in CS2 is very poor. It usually runs around 120 FPS on Windows. On Linux though, his performance dips to even as low as 20 FPS very often, and generally the game runs ~50fps slower. We tried a lot of launch arguments. He is running Wayland, we tried to install X11, but it crashes. Is there any way to fix it on Wayland? If not, would X11 help?...

Long boot time when waking from sleep on a um760 slim from minisforum.

I have tried reimagine and all that, but the pc will take about a minute to wake up from sleep for whatever reason. It should be instant on an ssd but it’s taking as long, if not longer, than cold booting.

Hardware: Steam Deck OLED Bazzite Version: stable bazzite-deck-gnome When using the normally available flathub version of Moonlight, I'm unable to get HDR to invoke in the gamescope session when initiating an HDR stream, leading to flat and washed-out colors.

Ally X only 16GB showing up.

So as the title says, I have an Ally X and after doing the fastfetch command, it only shows 16GB showing up and not the 24GB. Can anyone please help?
Solution:
Have a look at how much vram you have assigned for GPU use in the BIOS. You probably have it set to 8GB so it's showing less RAM (16GB) available for the system.

Updating from 41.20250301.1 automatically

Re-installed Bazzite Deck. CSS Loader no longer works.

I was using CSS Loader with no issues but I decided to re-install as I was running a RAID0 and wanted to go back to a single SSD. The install was like 2 years old. Anyway I re-installed twice now and I have no issues other than CSS Loader themes no longer applying. All other Decky-Loader plugins work without issue except for CSS Loader. None of them work. This most recent re-install I did nothing except install Decky-Loader then install CSS Loader and it still does not work....

No System + CPU Fans Detected

Hello, CoolerControl and the "sensors" command only detect one fan, that fan being my GPU's. I need to be able to control my system and my CPU fans from Bazzite. I can do it fine from Windows, so I know it's not an issue with the fans or the motherboard + i recently changed motherboards and it did not change anything. I've tried this: rpm-ostree kargs --append=acpi_enforce_resources=lax...

Video playback problems after update

Hey! After one of the last updates video playback on my system is broken. Haruna, which is my default video player, segfaults after opening, mpv does indeed play the video but its stuttering and lagy, not really usable. I've also tried VLC player, but with addition to stuttering it produces visual artifacts. Videos in question are recording from DJI O4 Air unit, 4k@60fps, 95Mbps. When opened through Gyroflow preview works as it always worked, no issues there....
Solution:
you could try downgrading it

Desktop Bazzite (KDE) unable to wakeup from sleep with Steam

Figured out why my PC was freezing on wakeup. If steam is started, it will freeze on wakeup, and needs to be force rebooted. Not sure if there's an easy fix except closing steam before sleeping?...

Bazzite custom gamescope and Heroic Game Launcher.

Hi all, I've installed Heroic Game Launcher via rpm-ostree because I want the software installed system-wide, allowing it to use all the 'modded' versions of the enhancements pre-installed in the system. Everything works as intended without problems, the only issue is with gamescope or the recent scopebuddy, as when I try to launch a GOG game like Baldur's Gate 3, it won't launch. I've tried launching it through the in-app flag, as a wrapper, or as an environment variable, but it doesn't launch...
