Pro Soccer Online not working

29. März 2025 - 14:28

When I try to play Pro Soccer Online on Steam in Linux Mint, I get a black screen and then an error appears. After that, the game doesn't launch anymore.

It IS possible to 4K/120/HDR/VRR 444 chroma on Linux/Bazzite with AMD 9070XT with this DP to HDMI cable...but it's tricky

29. März 2025 - 13:06

I have tried getting some help or some suggestions in several forums, but I rarely get a response or anything helpful, since this seems to be the premier Linux forum, I am hoping I can get some tips.

Keep in mind, I am still VERY new to Linux, but am a rather experienced Windows user and I have tried getting help on this in several forums,

Long story short:
I have found a way to get reliably get 4K/120/VRR/ HDR 10-bit 444 in Gamescope using my AMD 9070XT on my LG C1 OLED, but it has a very annoying issue and I am hoping someone here might have a script or something I can try that will remove some of the tediousness of getting it to work.
I am posting this in this thread as I feel this is information that many of you will find VERY valuable and maybe it can promote better development in this area. I am sharing my setup as this could completely depend on my setup and I just got lucky having the right hardware.

My setup:
TV: LG C1 65 inch OLED (only 40 GBps HDMI 2.1)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7800X3D undervolted to -30
Mobo: Gigabyte AORUS X870I mini-ITX
Memory: 32GB 6000
GPU: Asus Prime 9070XT
PSU: Lian Li 850 SFX PSU
Case: Fractal Ridge
Storage: Crucial 4TB NVME
Controller: Xbox Elite 2 w/ dongle (unreliable)
OS: Bazzite/SteamOS Fedora

It is well known that HDMI 2.1 is not supported in Linux when using AMD GPUs.

However, I have discovered a workaround that when it works is AMAZING..when it works.

I had read on reddit/gitlab that one way people have been able to get full bandwidth 4K/120 10-bit HDR 444 AND VRR using a DP-to-HDMI 2.1 cable from CableMatters using custom firmware.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094XR43M5...fed_asin_title _0_0

Custom firmware:
[https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/re1oa...x7u81j&e=1&st= q5nesci4&dl=0 ]

I was able to get it to work on my system as you can see from the readout.

https://preview.redd.it/15kl4093dmre1.jpg?width=580&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60d3efe3b0cad9d550605a0943fa6bf0e477c5d3

Sounds great, but whats the catch?
The catch is that after an extended shutdown the display will go back to 4K/60 w/ only 422 and I cannot change it back to 4K/120 in Gamescope or in desktop mode. It was so frustrating.

Through several cable exchanges, I finally found a solution that seems to have fixed it and its kind of pain, but I am hoping that sharing this solution will encourage others to try out this cable and see if there is much less of a hassle to get the cable to work correctly.

  1. I boot the PC with the HDMI connection. This will load Gamescope with 4K/120 w/ VRR/HDR w/8-bit 420...which honestly doesn't look bad. You would think there is a night and day difference between 8-bit 420 than 10-bit 444, but to my eyes there really isn't.
  2. Go into desktop mode, disable the TV (this will require a secondary monitor) output.
  3. Unhook the HDMI cable.
  4. Hook up the DP2HDMI cable into the SAME HDMI port (yes, the TV is set to PC mode cuz I know that will get asked).

Bam! 4K/120 VRR HDR 10-bit 444 is working again.

As to why? I have no idea why that worked but my only guess is that the TV somehow “remembers” a 4K/120 signal from original HDMI cable and tries to pull that same info from the DP cable and activates all the correct instructions.

I’ll try this again when the TV inevitably goes back to 4K/60.

And yes, the above method seems to work well every time. The only oddity I still notice is rather the Gamebar on my C1 says Freesync Premium or just VRR.

I hope this can lead to a suggestion on some sort of script development so that this can work with a command line as I’d rather not have to do this cycle every time.

My question is:
Is there not some sort of script someone could run? come up with that would potentially eliminate the need to constantly plug and replug.

There is a lot to be gained by sharing this solution and I am hoping the Linux community can figure something out so that we can enjoy HDMI 2.1 features without the bullcrap of the HDMI Forum.

Steam double-click, a minor inconvenience

29. März 2025 - 11:28

Hey!

So, I got a new problem recently, which is that I cannot double-click desktop icons to open games in steam while it is running anymore.

Errout when trying to start a game while steam is running: steam-runtime-supervisor[511176]: E: Unable to acquire exclusive lock on /home/arokan/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_64/steam
-runtime-sniper.lock: file is busy

Still works when it is closed; steam then boots up and starts the game.

History: This started after I accidentally 7z-d (-sdel) my entire home-folder. After some wild things happened, I started noticing it and unpacked it again. Everything went back to normal, except this.

Permissions seem fine and I can't quite figure out what's going on. Maybe you have an idea.

SR, Arokan

Edit: Debian 12/KDE

Problem installing GOG offline installer game (No Man's Sky) with Lutris

29. März 2025 - 10:50

Hello, I'm new to Linux gaming. I was able to download and install some games via Steam and Lutris (GOG) and play them without any problems. 🙂

I have many offline game installers from GOG locally (I use lgogdownloader to archive them) and would like to use them instead of downloading the games again. Unfortunately, I get an error when trying to install No Man's Sky. I proceed as follows:

  1. GOG → No Man's Sky → Right Click → Install
  2. First Entry (wine, GOG) → Install
  3. Installation directory: "/run/user/1000/doc/664853ab/Lutris/gog/no-mans-sky" → Continue
  4. Change source from "Download" to "Select file"
  5. Select file: "/home/wanderduene/Games/GOG/setup_no_mans_sky_5.60_relics_140919_(80921).exe"
  6. Install

After some seconds of loading I get the following error:

Started initial process 213 from /home/wanderduene/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/data/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/bin/wine /run/user/1000/doc/599584bf/Installers/no-mans-sky/gog/setup_no_mans_sky_5.61_relics_141040_(80967).exe Start monitoring process. fsync: up and running. wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely wine: failed to open "/run/user/1000/doc/599584bf/Installers/no-mans-sky/gog/setup_no_mans_sky_5.61_relics_141040_(80967).exe": c0000135 Monitored process exited.

Discord (yes I'm on Canary) screen sharing on Wayland will NOT work no matter what I try

29. März 2025 - 09:48

So, now that overclocking, fan control, and power limit control on Nvidia works in Wayland, as well as VRR with more than one monitor, and otherwise the experience is basically the same as X11 (only maybe a bit better), I finally moved to Wayland like 4 months ago? Well before that, screen sharing on X11 obviously worked perfectly fine.

Well when I saw that it worked on Wayland now (but only with Canary at the moment), I went ahead and tried it (using the AUR package at first). But every single time I join a voice channel and go to share my screen, I get the window that asks if I want to share my entire screen or a single window, I select single window, then it goes to the options page where you select resolution, framerate (but you don't get to pick which window you wanna share or anything), etc. At first I just accepted the defaults but I assumed they might be too high so after that didn't work I tried 720, 30 fps.

Then I hit next, and it ALWAYS does the same thing:

**Screen Share** Whoops, something went wrong. Give it another try? Back Cancel Make Selection

I'm on KDE, and yes I have kde-desktop-portal installed (and running), and it systemctl --user status plasma-xdg-desktop-portal-kde gives no errors. Nor does pipewire, pipewire-pulse, pipewire-media-session, or wireplumber.

It's been like 5 or 6 years since something that's supposed to "just work" absolutely refuse to work for me without me being able to figure it out myself.

If it matters, here's some log output from the terminal when running Discord from the terminal when I try to screen share:

04:38:34.174 › [RTCConnection(1335587140666658960, default)] Received MLS external sender package 04:38:34.174 › [Connection(default)] DAVE protocol state update: {"version":1,"epochAuthenticator":""} 04:38:34.174 › [RTCConnection(1335587140666658960, default)] Got MLS key package, sending to RTC server 04:38:34.174 › [RTCControlSocket(default)] Sending MLS key package 04:38:34.658 › [Routing/Utils] transitionTo - Transitioning to /channels/1335587140666658960/1335587140666658964 04:38:34.674 › [HDStreamingConsumableModal] Setting bitrates 04:38:39.135 › [AVError] AV error reported: no-audio-input-detected {"channelId":"1335587140666658964","mediaSessionId":"9e194a5ae7daf9628457d751a30cbe42","rtcConnectionId":"fd61326f-1b71-42de-a194-c9712794d478","mediaContext":"default","videoDeviceName":"No Video Devices","audioInputDeviceName":"HyperX 7.1 Audio Pro","audioOutputDeviceName":"Default: VIZIO SB362An"} 04:38:39.135 › [AVError] AV error reported: audio-capture-sample-rate-mismatch {"audioCaptureSampleRateMismatchPercent":-99,"channelId":"1335587140666658964","mediaSessionId":"9e194a5ae7daf9628457d751a30cbe42","rtcConnectionId":"fd61326f-1b71-42de-a194-c9712794d478","mediaContext":"default","videoDeviceName":"No Video Devices","audioInputDeviceName":"HyperX 7.1 Audio Pro","audioOutputDeviceName":"Default: VIZIO SB362An"} 04:38:44.806 › [HDStreamingConsumableModal] Setting bitrates 04:38:44.806 › [HDStreamingConsumableModal] Setting bitrates 04:38:47.742 › [RTCControlSocket(default)] Sending heartbeat with last received sequence number: 1 04:38:47.768 › [RTCControlSocket(default)] Heartbeat ACK received 04:38:49.134 › [ConnectionEventFramerateReducer] BaseConnection.userSpeakingChange: Reduced framerate after 15000 ms. 04:38:49.134 › [Connection(default)] updateVideoQuality: {"remoteSinkWantsMaxFramerate":20} 04:38:54.831 › [HDStreamingConsumableModal] Setting bitrates 04:38:54.832 › [HDStreamingConsumableModal] Setting bitrates 04:38:56.027 › [AVErrorManager] Error resolved: audio-capture-sample-rate-mismatch {"audioCaptureSampleRateMismatchPercent":-99,"channelId":"1335587140666658964","mediaSessionId":"9e194a5ae7daf9628457d751a30cbe42","rtcConnectionId":"fd61326f-1b71-42de-a194-c9712794d478","mediaContext":"default","videoDeviceName":"No Video Devices","audioInputDeviceName":"HyperX 7.1 Audio Pro","audioOutputDeviceName":"Default: VIZIO SB362An"}

I do NOT think the audio thing has anything to do with it, as I'm pretty sure that even when my headset has been plugged in I still get the same issue.

AND YES, I'VE TRIED FLATPAK TOO.

I'd really appreciate any help. Like I said, I never really need to ask for help with this stuff and usually I'm the one giving the help, so this is an awkward and frustrating spot to be in.

Bluetooth not working on Kubuntu 24.04.2

29. März 2025 - 08:38

I am trying to use my Xbox controller for some games, but bluetooth will not work. I tried making a post on r/linux4noobs, but sadly the one person that tried helping me had their account deleted.

When I try to turn on bluetooth from my taskbar, it will say that it is searching for devices yet never find one. When I tried turning it on from system settings, I clicked the button and nothing happens. Bluetooth was working just fine on 24.04.1 when I installed it.

So far i've tried:

  • Restarting the bluetooth service with sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service
  • Using the commands lsmod | grep bt and ls /sys/class/bluetooth/

pcbcat@pcbcat-kubuntu:\~$ lsmod | grep bt btusb 69632 0 btrtl 36864 1 btusb btintel 69632 1 btusb btbcm 24576 1 btusb btmtk 36864 1 btusb bluetooth 1028096 15 btrtl,btmtk,btintel,btbcm,bnep,btusb btrfs 2076672 0 xor 20480 1 btrfs raid6\_pq 126976 1 btrfs libcrc32c 12288 2 btrfs,xfs pcbcat@pcbcat-kubuntu:\~$ ls /sys/class/bluetooth/ hci0 pcbcat@pcbcat-kubuntu:\~$
  • Using the command bluetoothctl devices with and without sudo

pcbcat@pcbcat-kubuntu:~$ bluetoothctl devices No default controller available pcbcat@pcbcat-kubuntu:~$ sudo bluetoothctl devices No default controller available
  • Checking if the bluetooth adapter was blocked via rfkill

pcbcat@pcbcat-kubuntu:~$ rfkill ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD 0 bluetooth hci0 unblocked unblocked 1 wlan phy0 unblocked unblocked
  • Adding myself to the bluetooth group

pcbcat@pcbcat-kubuntu:~$ groups pcbcat adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev bluetooth lpadmin sambashare pcbcat@pcbcat-kubuntu:~$ sudo usermod -a -G bluetooth pcbcat [sudo] password for pcbcat: pcbcat@pcbcat-kubuntu:~$
  • Checking the system logs via Ksystemlog (I will attach the output of the logs in a comment below, because I don't want to make this post too long.)

Nothing has worked.

Here are my system details so someone can help me with this problem:

  • Kernel 6.11.0-21-generic (64-bit)
  • Kubuntu 24.04.2 with Windows 11 (same drive dual-boot)
  • Wireless-AC 9260 Bluetooth Adapter

Also, here are the firmware security details (no clue if this is needed but i will include it anyways): ``` Idle…: 0% Host Security ID: HSI:1! (v1.9.28)

RX 9070 throttling on Ubuntu 24.04/Mesa 25.0.2

29. März 2025 - 06:46

Recently switched to an AMD card (Sapphire Pure RX 9070). I believe I've sorted out the drivers (card shows up in the settings, multiple displays working), but the GPU seems to be throttling itself quite hard. As a test after installation, I booted up some games but they chug along at ~10fps while the utilization is below 10% and the power consumption sits at a dozen watts.

Notably, Mission Center also shows a clock speed of 96 MHz. Looking online, this seems to be an old "bug" without any documented solutions. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=287990 I would have thought this issue would be solved with a 6.8 kernel but that seems to not be the case. I'm somewhat stumped, so I'd appreciate any input.

You may have seen a previous post of mine. This is a follow up.

Modern games optimized for Linux

29. März 2025 - 04:38

Are there any modern games that are actually optimized for Linux and doesn’t need proton/wine to run? Do developers even make such games?

Just thought of this. All the games I’ve played on Linux have been with proton but haven’t seen titles that are actually Linux first. Maybe indie games?
