Bazzite 41 gamescope crashing
So, I’ve attempted to install bazzite-deck and bazzite-gnome-deck multiple times; every time I do, it fails to run gamescope. Even pressing “Return to Gaming Mode” fails to change sessions. The fact that Steam requires me to login every time I reboot tells me it’s an issue with gamescope crashing, but I don’t know how to fix it. For reference, I have included pictures of my rpm-ostree status and system info; I have also used export-gpu to set the used you to the dGPU

1. try
ujust fix-reset-steam
if that does not work then
2. remove your account from the steam login selector and re-add your account (i had to do this on my htpc just the other day while i was testing the intel arc b580)would be nice to mention your gpu
that too
but its in the picture
@Kyle Gospo little reminder that you need to update the issue tempalte
It won’t even let me select an account
im talking about when steam starts
There’s no Steam login selector
you either have to sign in, or select an existing account
if it does not show existing accounts then ignore the 2nd thing to try
This is what shows up every time. Also, question. Are yall using gamescope or gamescope-session-plus?
gamescope-session-plus which requires gamescope
did you sign in after you ran the command?
It crashed when I ran the command
I’m running fix-reset-steam and signing in again
the command closes steam and resets it so i ask again, did you sign in after you ran the command?
I signed in and it opened to the desktop page
ok
now try to reboot
Rebooting now
Nothing changed
then give us the
.gamescope-stdout.log and .gamescope-cmd.log from your homefolderThose actually didn't show up for some reason
press ctrl+h
in the terminal?
You have a laptop with dual AMD GPUs
there is a bug where gamescope fails to detect a display on specifical dual-AMD laptops
there is no fix, you can rebase to an image without gamescope-session
well that sucks
Would it be possible to disable the iGPU
no
Ok, so funny story: I was able to disable my iGPU in my bios and gamescope worked
curious, we've had 3 other users that didn't work for
glad to hear it
I think it depends on the internal connector set up and if the mux switch properly takes the iGPU completely out of the equation
I had to do the same with my 7845hx/7900m laptop
Sometimes the mux switch just changes the default and leaves the iGPU visible which I don’t think is good enough
I hope they patch that soon, would be nice if this just worked
Well someone should probably report it to drm/amd if they haven’t already. drm_info from TTY looked borked https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/1469#issuecomment-2366938293

Didn’t they send some frameworks to AMD people too
second comment’s drm info looks different than the first though so hard to say what’s really going wrong
