I just installed nobara a few hours ago and when I tried to launch steam again nothing shows up. I have had this problem on mint as well and I have no idea what the root cause is. Any suggestions?

Hello all,

recently I installed HoloISO onto an old Dell Optiplex for PC gaming in my living room with a controller. It’s worked very well and has been a joy to run without any problems.

Recently I noticed the project has moved repos and been made Immutable. I know little about immutable systems myself.

Now I have a USB drive filled with emulator roms that I frequently switch between my desktop and my “Steam Machine.” I’ve made an fstab entry for it since SteamOS/HoloISO does not detect the usb stick unless you switch to desktop mode first. The fstab entry fixes that problem.

Im considering updating to the Immutable OS for the latest updates but I want to be able to keep this specific functionality, or find a work around that doesn’t require frequently booting to desktop mode, since my parents also use this for MAME games and don’t have the patience for “Linux shenanigans” like I do.

Will it be possible to edit the fstab or find a different work around for this specific problem in the Immutable version of the OS?

I'm playing WANTED! and encountering an issue where the mod launches successfully, the map loads, but there are no weapon models or NPCs visible. Has anyone else faced this problem and found a solution? I've noticed the following message in the developer console:

I clicked install on the SNAP, but I didn't put my password in fully because I wanted to look at other software first. It seems like it installed a bit of it however, but when I open the application, all the text is replaced by squares. I tried to uninstall on SNAP but it just says Unable to remove "Dolphin Emulator": no packages to remove. Also I'm not too experienced with Linux, but I hope you can help me with this problem. Thank you.

GPU: GFX10.0 / RDNA1 / RX 5700 XT.
OS: Debian Testing - May 2024 (Xorg/XFCE).

I can't set the GPU power limit to 80 Watt anymore. Why is AMD stopping me from doing that after all these years? :(

Since many years I've been using a systemd unit to execute a custom script from the home directory which manually sets the GPU, memory and power configuration on startup (As defined at the bottom in here: amdgpu). I was able to set the power1_cap to 80 Watt or even lower. It was running flawlessly fine since last 3+ years. Never faced any issues before regarding this.

Today I randomly checked the dmesg log and found this error:

[9.126330] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: New power limit (80) is out of range [105,273]

I manually tried changing to 80 Watt (the argument needs to be in microwatt) and it failed:

root@debian:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:00.0/0000:03:00.0/hwmon/hwmon2# echo 80000000 > ./power1_cap

bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Now, the write is only successful when 105000000 >= power1_cap<= 273000000
This never used to happen before. Now any value out of this range defaults to 210 Watt. This generate extreme heat as we all know this is the infamous 5700 XT we're talking about.

I can't pinpoint when exactly it has started to happen but I was 100% sure that it was working somewhere in November 2023; I remember I was playing Death Stranding (Steam).

Weirdly, on my system, the last time the changes made to Navi10 specific (5600 XT - 5700 XT) binary blobs (closed source proprietary firmware) in the /lib/firmware/amdgpu was December 19, 2023. Could this be it? Or there may be something else? I don't have deeper knowledge in all of this for now.

OS: Nobara 39 KDE Plasma

I'm playing apex legends and it's very obvious that somehow mouse accel randomly got turned on when it wasn't on before. In the ingame settings it's disabled and in kde it's disabled and i can see that on my desktop there is no mouse accel, but when I go in game, there is mouse accel... I know i'm not just dumb because I tested moving back and forth between two boxes on my desk and it was extremely inconsisent and had moments where i only turned half the distance I did when I moved the mouse fast

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I'm using the Flatpak build of Vesktop, and only recently did videos and camera's stop displaying properly. I'm not sure whether it came from a Vencord update, or a Vesktop update, but I mainly want to know if anyone else has ran into this problem

Hi!

So I'm having an issue with my Steam Deck, which I use as my daily driver computer (so this is a big issue). I think a setting may have been messed up in the settings somewhere, but any time I plug in my external monitor in desktop mode the screen is just stark white. I think the resolution may be off in the settings or something as the issue started when I tried to launch Portal in desktop mode.

The problem is that in desktop mode I have my steam deck screen disabled in the KDE settings, so I can't troubleshoot this while my monitor is plugged in, nor can I access the saved monitor settings when my monitor is unplugged (it only lets me change settings for my steam deck). Is there a way to edit/reset my steam deck dual monitor settings while it is not plugged in to the monitor? If I could re-enable my Steam Deck monitor I can probably troubleshoot it from here.

FWIW, the monitor works perfectly in Gaming Mode, so I know it's not the deck, dock, cable, or monitor. It only goes stark white in Desktop Mode.

Thanks a bunch!

Hello, I'm having problems getting a wireless Xbox one controller to connect to my laptop running mint. I already tried installing ubuntu-xboxdrv and jstest-gtk and qjoypad

Jstest shows the controller as Xbox 360 wireless receiver, but it won't detect the input It shows 4 of those devices from js0 to js3.

the controller vibrates when connected via USB, but the Xbox light won't turn on.

It connects via Bluetooth, but neither jstest nor qjoypad detect the movements

I have another computer running mint too. The controller works just fine via USB, but I don't remember if I installed any of the above on it.

Any game that runs in exclusive fullscreen causes my right monitor to be disabled and also often crashing the game in the process. I've tried 3 different distros (Fedora, EndevourOS, and now Linux Mint) and they all exhibit this behavior.

I've tried using both the 535 and 545 drivers, and turning on Force Full Composition Pipeline in my NVIDIA settings.

I'm running an NVIDIA RTX 2060 12GB model from MSI and a i7 10700. Left monitor is a LG 24GN50W 1080p 144hz, and right is HP X27q 1440p 165hz

I bought a 5700 and unsurprisingly got the problem everyone has with it on 144hz monitors with the VRAM clock being maxed out leading to an awful idle power draw (almost 50W) and extra heat. On Windows it's usually fixed with CRU, but is there any way to fix it on Linux?

I wiped my pc this week to reinstall Arch. Steam and all my games are working fine no issues in that regard, only the in-game fps counter from Steam doesn't seem to work. The Steam overlay itself works just fine so I have no idea what the issue is.

Anybody else have this issue?

I'm quite new, obviously, I want to know if there is something where the moment I tab out of a game, it becomes unfocused, and the fps drops to like 10-20, similar to Background Application Max Frame Rate in nvidia

I'm using Bottles to play games in Linux. I enabled the Monitor Performance toggle in Bottles settings after installing MangoHud using the command flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud//23.08

By default it is only showing CPU usage, GPU usage, fps and frametimes. I looked up how to configure it on google and everything pints out to some file in /usr/share/doc/mangohud/MangoHud.conf but I dont have any mangohud folder inside /usr/share/doc.

So how do I configure it to show CPU and GPU temperatures and also VRAM usage?

The only thing thats changed about my system is booting from an HDD instead of an SSD SATA drive,

I just launched a game from EpicGames launcher using Lutris and im getting MUCH worse performance even at lower settings. Is there any imporvements I could make for optimization or perhaps im doing something wrong?

For the record, Ive installed nothing else but Lutris so if Im supposed to have some program that is typically common sense, assume I didnt install it because I know basically nothing about linux, Earlier I noticed that One game didnt even use My GPU and was instead running off my CPUs graphics, But Installing Nvidias drivers fixed that
