Fedora/bazzite installer is larger than the viewport of the steam deck
Basically title, the bottom part is cut off which means I cannot see or interact with the next/previous buttons with a mouse.
Version: v1.1.0 deck 38 (KDE)
Flashed with balena etcher.

Temporary workaround from user stephenz:
At the grub entries selection screen where it says install Bazzite, press the e key. then go to where just before it says quiet leave a space and type now do ctrl-x to continue boot. This will fix Anaconda scaling for the install.
It's not an issue with the 1.0.1 web installer, but that has it's own issues post-install so I'd still stick with the 1.1.0 installer.
Thanks, I'll give this a go
Also completely unrelated to the topic, but the release says don't dual boot with steamos or linux
Does that mean windows is all good
Or is there any known issues with that
I think they suggest that windows may be okay but windows can tend to break other bootloaders
You'd need to leave grub enabled post install and use the windows entry on grub.
So you'd leave the bazzite install at the top of your boot order
Okay so I've just Installed it
Looked like it went well
Got to the login screen which I used root to enter
And then blank screen
Grub shows 4 different Fedora Linux instances for some reason
Okay so I managed to get in through the x11 Environment but as I go in I see the error
cannot run as root userIn the installer I left the root account disabled and just set a password for the basic user so that you can use that for sudo in terminal
So I didn't have a login screen. Idk about the blank screen after that. I think many people here on us US timezones so they may be able to advise later
did you only create a root account and not a user account?
no root account needed, i followed the videos here. https://universal-blue.org/images/bazzite/installation/
Installation - Universal Blue
Custom Operating System images based on Fedora
... I might've forgot to create a user account
It's okay though I think because I created one after and it seems okay ish now
Is it recommend that I format my sd card and reinstall my games
If it’s formatted as btrfs already, you’re fine. If it’s ext4, I’d reformat it
You can just make a local backup of the entire card and copy it back to the sd card after formatting
This doesn't seem to be working for me.
I may be doing it wrong.
Does anyone have a photo of what this is meant to look like?
it worked for me
but first i had to reflash
i assumed my install was corrupted when i force shut down the fedora installer cuz it refused to boot the second time
the installer boots for me i just can't do anything since the scaling is wrong
It should be on the second line if your screen is vertical, like
inst.resolution=1280x800 quiet then press control kI did this and the installer still has the wrong scaling
I dont know what im doing wrong
