latest gamescope doesn’t work on Polaris (RX4xx/5xx) GPUs

I’m not sure what’s going on, I don’t think I did anything that should change the default session, but nothing is letting me return to gaming mode. I tried the desktop shortcut “Return to Gaming Mode,” I’ve tried logging off, and I’ve even tried rebooting. It just comes back to the desktop.
Solution:
now on stable

Honestly I’m not even sure how to troubleshoot this 😦 I don’t really want to reinstall but I’m not sure what else I can do at this point. I just realized I’m on testing so I’m rebasing to stable and gonna see if that fixes it Nope

is your user in wheel group what happens when you do systemctl start return-to-gamemode.service from terminal

I'd rollback to a previous commit

Rollback doesn’t work because I rebased from testing to stable, so the only previous deployment I have wasn’t good either I should have pinned it but I’m not certain it’s an ostree thing either

what does systemctl status return-to-gamemode.service show I'm not familiar with systemd but I'm sure some error will show up

I would try removing the local steam installed files? and see what happens
bri

Where are they? ~/.steam? Steam does work in desktop mode oddly enough though I’ll try renaming that and reboot…

.local/share/steam and .steam there are multiple directories .steampath I believe too too many seems rather a bad idea
