Stuck on black screen after initial load

After successfully installing bazzite on my pc, it loaded me into desktop mode. I set up my emudeck games, but when I selected "return to gaming mode" it went back to the startup screen but got stuck on a black screen after. Turning the system off and on has the same result. Ctrl + Alt + F2 doesn't bring up the terminal on the black screen

Unfortunately this is a known issue, a recent Valve update broke gamescope on older AMD GPUs and we cannot downgrade because doing so breaks newer ones You can rebase to the desktop image for the meantime and rebase back when Valve patches this

If you're on your desktop Run rpm-ostree status You can get to it from a TTY control alt f4 Login steamos-session-select plasma

Sorry I wont have access for a bit I'll see if I can get back to it tonight I found some time to get back to the computer, but I'm still stuck on the initial loading screen and then it goes to the black screen after I tried pressing ctrl + alt + f4 while loading and the terminal didnt pop up at any point Nevermind it just did ! it won't let me type though

if you mean the password, that's normal linux it's typing, just doesn't show you prevents from leaking your password length

Pressing enter doesn't do anything though

odd, definitely should you can always install the desktop image I suppose.. and then rebase from there

im going to try again real quick I don't think I set a password while doing the setup. What would I type?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospo5mo ago
nothing, just hit enter
Anthony
Anthony5mo ago
ok i figured. I'll try again yeah it's not popping up this time Ok I tried one more time, got it to pop up. I hit enter and it still asked for the login so maybe I did set a password, but as I was typing what the password would be it froze and wouldn't let me hit enter How would I go about this? The same steps for downloading the ISO as before except I select No for Steam Gaming Mode?

And I can swap it back to the gaming mode when i rebase?

Kyle Gospo5mo ago
correct, you just grab the url from rpm-ostree status ie:

and modify it to the image you want IE: ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-deck-gnome:stable then run it as: rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-deck-gnome:stable when it's done you'll be on a deck image easy as that

np same is true in reverse that's what I was trying to do for you here when you reinstall, be sure to enter a password our install guide details why
Anthony

Ok will do! And when I reinstall the desktop version of the os, do I need to do it completely fresh? or am I modifying the install because the initial install took a LONG time, so I might wait until tomorrow to do it if that's the case
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospo5mo ago
fresh in this case, unless you can get to a TTY without the freeze problem
Anthony
Anthony5mo ago
ok makes sense Don't have the time for that tonight but I'll update tomorrow! Thank you again!

I installed the desktop version, now I just need to rebase Is this the image that would support my GPU?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospo5mo ago
That comes later As I said your graphics card is not supported right now You'll be in the same position you were in if you rebase now
Anthony
Anthony5mo ago
ah ok I see what you mean, rebase when it's fixed
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospo5mo ago
Yep
Anthony
Anthony5mo ago
So for now if I want a steam-os feel I would just run big picture mode?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospo5mo ago
Yeah that should be fine
