iamak , in [SOLVED] Steam Not starting on EndeavourOS/Arch

Nvidia GPU I’m assuming? Make sure nvidia (or nvidia-dkms), nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils have the same version and are up to date. This issue is listed in the Arch Wiki see if it’s helpful for you.

Zangoose OP ,

Unfortunately I’m on an AMD GPU :(

Try running these commands

mv ~/.local/share/Steam ~/SteamBackup

mv ~/.steam ~/SteamBackup steam

Then launch steam by disabling direct write

steam -no-dwrite

Zangoose OP ,

Ended up getting the same crash

Digester , (edited )
@Digester@lemmy.world avatar

Did you check if you have any conflicting libraries?

You can also try replacing the steam folder with the one on your laptop. If that doesn’t work it’s a problem with the OS on your PC. If you can’t trace it back you might want to reinstall the distro. Just back up your files

Zangoose OP ,

Apparently it was a problem with their network manager library, installing lib32-libnm ended up fixing it for me. (I’m assuming my laptop already had that installed as a dependency for something else or as part of the default KDE install)

I’m glad everything works now

iamak ,

Oh. Can you launch games using the commandline? I don’t know how this works but I was having same issue with Nvidia and I launched a game with command line and it started working. It probably was a coincidence but it’s worth trying I guess.

Zangoose OP ,

Looks like no because it’s still trying to open steam when I try to run the games.

iamak ,

Oh nvm then. Was worth a try. Anyways I see you solved it. Happy gaming! :)

yamapikariya , in What is a good way to benchmark test a GPU in Linux?
@yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com avatar

First check if the games are using the GPU. I had an issue where everything would launch with integrated graphics only.

vortexal OP ,
@vortexal@sopuli.xyz avatar

Actually, the computer only has integrated graphics because it’s a laptop.

Zhao ,

My laptop has two graphics cards lol but I totally get what you meant

JakeHimself ,

What? How large is you laptop?? When you say “two graphics cards”, do you mean two GPUs or two full boards?

Gellis12 ,

It’s pretty common for a laptop to have a dedicated gpu, plus the integrated gpu that’s actually part of the cpu.

InverseParallax ,
vortexal OP ,
@vortexal@sopuli.xyz avatar

Do they make laptops that have two GPUs or are you using an external GPU?

nukul4r ,

superuser.com/…/why-does-my-laptop-have-two-graph…

It’s not uncommon. The main use is running the powerful GPU only in games and such, while using the other one the rest of the time, to reduce power consumption, heat and noise.

Zhao ,

Bought a laptop with two pre built. Dedicated and a 1080ti it’s not amazing but it does what I need it to do lol

amenotef , in AMD CPU Use Among Linux Gamers Approaching 70% Marketshare
@amenotef@lemmy.world avatar

I play on Linux from time to time. (With my desktop which has AMD hardware and with the steam deck)

Desktop performance in Linux is like 80-90% of windows performance on AAA games that are DX12 based. So if the hardware is overkill for the game I play it on Linux. If the hardware is not enough (for 1440p 144 FPS my limit) I play it on windows.

dissonant OP ,

Not 100%, but I’m not a BIOS/GRUB expert. When I restart my computer my options are currently either do nothing and let it automatically boot to Win10, or go to BIOS and manually select Linux. Manually selecting Linux takes me to the GRUB screen, which doesn’t appear at all when the computer boots to Win10. Does that information help?

toasteranimation ,
@toasteranimation@lemmy.world avatar

You need to edit your grub configuration to just put Linux first on the list

Nuuskis , in Dualboot with Linux Mint and Win 10 Pro. How to stop Windows 10 from overriding my boot order in BIOS on every restart?

I give you 3 options and you google them and choose the one which suits you the best. 1. Change the boot order in your bios (Mint drive first) 2. Install package ‘os-prober’ and then update-grub (Win10 will appear in Grub) 3. Install rEFInd to replace Grub and choose everytime which OS you want to boot (set timeout by yourself). Warning: theming the rEFInd is known to be addictive.

Dotdev ,
@Dotdev@programming.dev avatar

I agree with this . High chance the boot order might be messed up by windows.

dissonant OP ,

I’ll look into these, thanks!

AutumnSpark1226 , in Dualboot with Linux Mint and Win 10 Pro. How to stop Windows 10 from overriding my boot order in BIOS on every restart?
@AutumnSpark1226@lemmy.world avatar

Setting a BIOS/UEFI password might help (But doesn’t always). If that does not work on your computer, you could try replacing the windows bootloader with grub as the default bootloader in a weird windows menu. (I don’t remember exactly how I did it. You should search for something like that on the internet.)

azimir , in My clipboard manager for Linux is now at version 0.8.1!

This looks like a very neat tool. I’ll give it a try.

Thank you for building something useful for us all.

@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Windows doesn’t change your boot order AFAIK, are you sure you’re not just selecting the temporary boot order in the BIOS? Make sure you’re changing the boot order and then saving the changes.

AutumnSpark1226 ,
@AutumnSpark1226@lemmy.world avatar

On some devices windows puts itself first in the boot order. I’ve seen this on some HP devices.

dissonant OP ,

I don’t think I am, there shouldn’t be any temp ones. There are two options in bios, Windows bootloader and Linux Mint (listed as ubuntu). Win10 is on the top of the stack. I rearrange them to put linux on top, but when I hit save and exit it tells me no changes have been made. The Asus manual was not helpful, so it’s possible I’m missing something, just can’t figure out what.

Raphael , in Poll about Fedora OPT-OUT telemetry metrics proposal
@Raphael@lemmy.world avatar

Anything related to Fedora or Red Hat never cared about user’s opinions.

NOTABUG. WONTFIX.

Raphael , in Give it to me straight. How worried are you for Fedora's future after Red Hats recent anti user decisions?
@Raphael@lemmy.world avatar

Red Hat controls Fedora, anyone saying Fedora is independent is just spouting nonsense.

I’ve been on Fedora all this time because I loved Red Hat. Oh, how wrong I was.

joyofpeanuts , in New to linux... I have no idea how to fix this error...

The sources.list contains a list of the sources that can be used for the installation and update of software packages. If you installed your Debian Linux distribution from a CD/DVD at some point, or maybe just by default if there is a CD/DVD player in your PC, an entry will have been added to the sources.list file corresponding to the mount point of the installation CD/DVD. Usually you can deactivate this entry after the initial installation, as I suppose that you further installs and updates will be from network sources. The full path to the location of the file is /etc/apt/sources.list. You can edit the file in a text editor, but as a newbie it is probably easier and safer to do that via your graphical update/package manager. Have fun discovering Linux.

For more information, have a look at: wiki.debian.org/SourcesList

Korkki , in ΠΑΜΕ ΕΛΛΑΔΑΡΑ ΜΟΥ!!! (LET'S GO GREECE!!!)

Is it the greek government using linux in gov computers or just hobbyists?

wallmenis OP ,

A lot of people have pretty old desktop computers and can’t upgrade. They start using linux instead of windows to get better performance

Nuuskis , (edited )

Hopefully they at least have ssd and 8gb ram.

wallmenis OP ,

From my experience it is mostly windows vista/7 era hardware that gets the linux treatment usually.

xavier666 ,

Because they don’t like paying the Microsoft “tax” 😏

Korkki ,

Tax really is a good word for it. When you basically have a monopoly on or just act as gatekeeper to something and there is no market and no real competition the fee and profits you are making is basically taxation.

OSs kinda also act like natural monopolies because of software compatibility. People tend to gravitate towards the option that has most software support for ease of use. Windows should either be taken over by taken over by international bodies to be handled as global commons (of which I seen never happening) or it should be replaced with a open OS like Linux. Same could be said with social media, because it’s equally retarded to have the agoras used by the public as a profiteering tool for capitalists who abuse their power and leech from their monopoly, when the user base is the only thing that gives a platform any value.

fhein ,

Add digital identification and payment to that list. As society is going cash-less we’ve got to depend on privately owned proprietary software to do shopping, banking, taxes, to use public transport, and to access healthcare. There are a few different companies providing digital IDs here, but none of them have a client that runs on Linux. Their mobile apps require either an iPhone or Android with Google Play Services.

nani8ot , in What screen locker do you use and why?

Waylock, because it keeps sway locked even if the screen locker crashes.

guriinii , in ΠΑΜΕ ΕΛΛΑΔΑΡΑ ΜΟΥ!!! (LET'S GO GREECE!!!)

Bravo! Out of curiosity, why does the Greek have “my” at the end?

wallmenis OP ,

It seems you translated it. 😅 Well it is a saying… When someone is excited or proud of someone/something. I don’t know the specifics (even though I am a native). So please, if anyone else wants to explain, feel free to do so…

MetaPhrastes , (edited )
@MetaPhrastes@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not a native but I can try to explain. Greek has two forms of expressing possession: the first is simply the genitive of the personal pronoun (in this case μου is the genitive of the first person singular pronoun εγώ). When expressing possession in this way it always follows the noun it refers to whereas the article comes before e.g. “my house” > “το σπίτι μου” and it’s invariable. (Note that in English possessives are determiners and can not co-exist with articles it’s either one or the other, in Greek this is not the case). The second form is in combination with “δικός” and these behave more like adjectives and must agree in gender and number with the noun they refer to “my house” > “το δικό μου σπίτι” vs “my houses” > “τα δικά μου σπίτια”.

wallmenis OP ,

That is true… And that explains it in a literal sense
