Nvidia issues? - Lemmy.World
Hi all, I’ve been having more and more trouble. I came here for some help with
Bazzite, which ended up being solved or so I thought. I got to play Elden Ring
for a few hours after which I turned off my PC. Everything ran perfectly
smoothly with absolutely no issues. The next time I turned it on, the hard
freezes started back up. I thought it might have been an Nvidia driver issue or
an issue with Plasma, so I tried just about everything I could find to no avail.
The next step was to see if reinstalling from the installation media would work,
no boot. Tried again, no boot. Tried switching to bazzite gnome, no boot. Tried
switching to Pop OS and the installation media won’t boot. Every time, the one
of the two same things happen with all of these attempts: a flash of
artifacting, then a hard freeze, sometimes with the artifacting stuck, or
everything but the cursor freezes for ~30sec then it freezes too. Both scenarios
require a hard restart, but then the same thing happens. One useful price of
information is that Tails works flawlessly, I run it on occasion from a USB
(lately moreso to look things up because it’s my only way to use my PC since
this has been happening). I’ve checked that my GPU and drives etc are seated
properly, all seems fine on the hw end. I’m at my wits end and I don’t want to
go back to windows. I clearly have a lot to learn still, but I never expected
this to end up as difficult as it’s been. Does anyone have any suggestions for
me? I would love to be able to play Elden Ring, but at this point I just need a
working system other than Tails.
Bazzite Help - Lemmy.World
After my previous post (here: https://lemmy.world/post/16593726
[https://lemmy.world/post/16593726] ), I took some of the advice I got and
switched over to Bazzite for the time being. After some very minor tinkering,
Elden Ring launches and runs great other that a very tiny amount of stuttering.
Played for a few hours today, then went to get RuneScape set up with one of the
community launchers. I had good luck with nmlynch94’s launcher on previous
distro’s, but this time no textures would load unless the camera was moving. I
uninstalled and switched to the other one (red-dragon I think?) and the game
wouldn’t launch at all. After a little bit of back and forth uninstalling and
reinstalling it, rebooting, etc. with no changes, I gave up and uninstalled
everything related to the jagex launcher. Everything was working fine at that
point still, shut everything down after browsing the web and listening to music
like normal with no issues and now Bazzite won’t launch at all. Almost every try
ends up in it freezing at “Booting ‘Fedora Linux 40.20240619.0 (Bazzite)
(ostree:0)’ _” Once, it booted to the lock screen then froze. I have things set
up and would prefer not to have to do a fresh install, but I’m not quite sure
what to do. I have been unable to find much help searching the web. Does anyone
have any insight for me?
Elden Ring on Debian 12 - Lemmy.World
I’ve been hoping to get Elden Ring up and running before the DLC comes out, but
I haven’t had much luck so far. I am a newbie to Linux, currently running Debian
12 w/ GNOME, Ryzen 9 3900X, GTX 1080 Ti. I have tried every proton version and
plenty of suggested launch options with slightly varying levels of “success”,
but the best I manage to get is Proton GE with no launch options and the game
launches, flashes black, then white and then crashes, the whole time with the
game’s custom cursor. Most other combinations get me a black screen before
launch, no launch, or nothing (but steam says its running for a minute). I
believe my video drivers are all up to date, but I am a newbie, like I said, so
I’m not confident I didn’t miss something. Has anyone else been running into
this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
