My system just updated and now the (NVIDIA) graphics are all gone, the resolution is set to 1024x768 like it’s the '90s… what happened and how do I fix it? ---

Just select previous update during launch the system. Then pin previous. I would also recommend disable autoupdate and then decide to update by yourself if no major problems from users here exist 🥲 ---

What hardware are you using? Are you on the nvidia-open image? I tested the unstable (dev) image for weeks on my system with a 3090 and it worked great with the 595 nvidia-open driver. ---

Apologies I’m kind of a noob does this mean the update is out for the gamescope version of Bazzite too? Is kde plasma the desktop version? I have the “steam deck” version the gamescope first version. I assume that means the deck version referenced but I just wanted to confirm. ---

Whait, what? How can development oriented image be based on the deck image not desktop? 🤔 ---

bazzite-nvidia, stable, KDE, desktop mode… do you suggest to rebase to nvidia-open or would it be a problem with my old(er) GPU? ---

Me and my five friends rolled back to Bazzite 43. With this update Bluetooth is completely useless for us. Our speakers are not even recognised as speakers. Even my Bluetooth headset behaves the same. The only option I get in my Bluetooth audio settings is something like Audio gateway A2DP source and HSP HFP AG. In version 43 our speakers show up as high fidelity playback A2DP sink and that works perfectly. After the rollback everything works again. People on Reddit have the same Bluetooth issues or other problems and they are also going back to version 43. ---

System just updated to Bazzite version 44.20260429. KeePassXC-Browser (for Browser Integration with Brave) no longer works. All I get is “Key exchange was not successful.” If I boot back into Bazzite version 43.20260420, it works again. Brave and KeePassXC are both the same flatpak version in each setup. ---

I’ve had to revert back to the previous version. How do I stop auto updates? Internet searches give me various ujust commands, none of which exist any more. ---

`sudo systemctl disable --now uupd.timer` This should work, I think. ---

Had a problem just now with Fedora 44 and Bluetooth not showing up at all. My customized version of Aurora is based on the “latest” tag, so it updated to Fedora 44 last night, and after updating locally and rebooting there was no `/sys/class/bluetooth`, so the Bluetooth service wasn’t starting. I did a fair amount of web searching and found [this query](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1522574/bluetooth-stopped-working-out-of-the-blue-on-ubuntu-24-04) related to Ubuntu that had a surprisingly stupid and simple solution: power down the machine completely and try again. I never expect powering down to fix something not fixed by a reboot, but in this case it worked. Bluetooth showed up in KDE and it’s working as normal now with an external speaker.
