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.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

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:

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.

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)

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.

I have been using linux for like 1 and a half , I tried to find some tools that could read and help me to measure a lot of things and get the best performance for gaming , the thing is , I've been searching for a long time to find a program that could measure the input lag in every game just like how nvidia's overlay on windows dose , and I just wanna know why mangohud doesn't have this USEFUL option alongside the other things I see ?

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?

I'm asking this on both the windows and linux subreddits and was wondering in your opinion if I should switch to linux.

It's a Sapphire Pure RX 9070.

So I've been playing TF2 since 2012 and I think it's about time I contribute to the community, especially with the new community update being in the works. I tried following this post but substituted for Proton9...

I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten this to work on their end, and if they'd be willing to share, for free, out of the kindness of their heart and the spirit of cristmas <3

TL;DR - How get Hammer TF2 on Linux pls????
