Unable to use game mode & unable to update
Since today I have been unable to use game mode, getting the error in the second attached image when for example clicking a game (only way to continue when it occurs is to reboot). Decky Loader has the error attached in the fourth image.
I am also unable to update. First I tried the updater in the game mode settings after reaching 20% it prompts for a reboot as if it was finished, but going back to said updater just shows another update (it cycles through the same two updates (13th of May -> 15th -> 13th, etc.).
This is a stock hardware 512GB LCD model, system information attached in an image.

Uninstalling Decky Loader fixed the issue with those fullscreen errors in game mode, I'm guessing the theming engine broke something 😅

I ran rpm-ostree rollback and then tried updating again, but it is telling me it can't find latte-dock which as far as I'm aware isn't installed (I tried a while ago but gave up almost immediately)
I'd try the following, I'd pin my current image just incase the upgrade is worse
sudo ostree admin pin 0
Next try a cleanup
rpm-ostree cleanup -p -b -r -m
Now try the update
rpm-ostree update
If it still fails, try and reset any layered packages rpm-ostree reset then try rpm-ostree update againOops, didn't see your message in time. After the rollback I ran rpm-ostree uninstall latte-dock and after that the update completed successfully ðŸ˜
Perfect. Can you game again now?
If you want to pin your 39 image you can probably do a sudo ostree admin pin 1 (it uses zero based indexing)
Sorry I couldn't reply earlier. Unfortunately the error messages for games and Decky Loader persist. I opted for the resetting of layered packages as you suggested and ran the update again (rpm-ostree reset && rpm-ostree update)
Side-note, my Wallpaper Engine wallpaper disappeared but I assume that's just because of the updates and I should be able to reconfigure that after the other issues are fixed.
Hmmm the fedora 40 upgrade changed to plasma 6. Not sure if Wallpaper Engine works in KDE Plasma 6. There is an open ticket for adding support https://github.com/catsout/wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin/issues/367

plasma 6 support ? · Issue #367 · catsout/wallpaper-engine-kde-plug...
hello i just wanted to know if this plugin will be available in plasma 6 ,thank you
Unfortunately the update did not fix the error messages, what's the benefit of pinning?
Pinning makes sure that the deployment that you pinned never gets removed. So you can always go back to a working state.... granted you can rebase to any old image for 90 days
Alright, I still have the same issues after updating… should I rebase to an older image?

Thanks a lot for the help!
Weird that a theme engine would break stuff. But glad that you came right
I suppose it does have to inject something, that's the only thing I can think of. I'm also a bit surprised, since I would've guessed the updating issue was related 😅
decky is broken
Yeah, figured that out after a lot of troubleshooting ðŸ˜
