taskbar icons disappear/relocate on hover
As the title says: task bar icons (just the images, not the button elements) are disappearing, unless that a pile of them at top-left. This happens on hover. Certain updates will bring one back, such as a new window popping up. This is not in gamescope, and happens despite reboot.
I've been using
ujust update frequently, so up to date.

Trying to use krunner in place of the application menu button
I've grown used to using Alfred to launch/search on my MacBook to the extent that I only use my dock to switch to running apps if I use it at all. I'm trying to replicate that experience in Bazzite.
Toward that end, I have:
- manually edited the both to invoke some transparency and blur within its bounds, but also [got that working] to dim out the rest of the screen and make it more visible amidst other windows.
Thoughts?
META shortcut to invoke krunner
- resized krunner's fonts to 20pt
A few snags remain which I could use some help on:
- There does not seem to be a way to get to application shortcut definitions except via the application menu. This becomes relevant when there are apps that aren't flatpaks (eg, Mathematica). This might be mitigated if I knew how to construct a flatpack out of, say, a distrobox install + export, or the like. (If there is, maybe that's a good idea for a ujust script?)
- The META shortcut sometimes fails to respond. After a few seconds of repeated taps, it does eventually return but this obviously isn't the intended behavior. I don't recall this problem with this application menu. (This also seems a great idea for a ujust script.)
- I'd like to find a way to scrim the background of krunner -- 2 replies

Mathematica via distrobox?
First time using distrobox. I have a license to Mathematica and am trying to install it on Bazzite. It works fine on my MacBook.
Since there is no flatpak, I created a distrobox:
Entering the distrobox, I installed Mathematica to its default locations in
/usr/local/bin/:
I then exported one of the symlinked entries in /usr/local/bin:
But neither from the host OS nor from within the distrobox am I able to run it:
I've not installed mathematica except on MacOS and Windows, so I don't know if this is expected: Do I need to install other bits (which would seem odd for Wolfram to leave out in their installer)? or am I running into an issue in Fedora (also seems highly unlikely)?
I note that nixpkgs has an entry for Mathematica 14.0. If I can't get it working here, then I'll probably end up switching to NixOS to gain access to that packager tonight when I blow away the system drive while migrating my mobo to full UEFI. Regardless, knowing whether/if I missed something above would be helpful.10 replies

Hardware KVM, force display enabled?
Is it typical for a Linux system to boot up headless when it is not the current input to the KVM, and to not discover/enable displays when (the next morning) we switch to it on the KVM?
If so, is there a way to force it?
I remotely updated and rebooted last night, and had to force reboot the system after switching to it on the KVM, in order to get displays working.

Driver/Config issue or Hardware issue?
Before I go down the path of buying a new video card: I had recently installed Bazzite on a clean partition a few days ago having not touched Linux in a few years, and then not since the early 90s. While I ended up resorting to basic graphics mode, and then let it pick up drivers, that went well and I tested a couple games to suss out performance issues and resolve them.
Yesterday I turned on my machine to discover plasmashell had crashed and my secondary monitor (on an HDMI port with an active HDMI->DP adapter to a DP KVM) was known to the OS, but was nevertheless a black screen. Juggling connections I confirmed that Bazzite was able to render the second display (I selected different plain colors for the wallpaper to tell the difference), but only would output to the display on the straight DP connection. During juggling these connections I managed to repro the plasmashell crash.
This behavior remained even after re-installation on a clean partition (via the use all space option).
The graphics card is a GeForce 1660 Super, 1 HDMI + 1 DP outputs. heavy DP cables to a not-cheap KVM, DP to the monitors. No issues exist for the other computers in the other KVM channels, and this issue didn't occur under Win10, pre-Bazzite. Based on that (the issue persisting), I'm suspecting either the adapter died overnight, or the graphics card is dying. But it could also be something with software updates that might have occured in the past 2-3 days. I've a new adapter arriving this afternoon, but I'm curious if anybody else has run into this?
