Bazzite, is there anyway to start it normally

By normally I mean start with Bazzite not Steam.

One other thing, C,D,G SSD’s not mounting yet the other three, E,F,I are OK. On Linux Mint they are all OK.

If you select traditional desktop option while choosing your ISO, it should start normally. I assume you selected the game mode version while downloading the ISO. As far as I know you can rebase, but I would recommend downloading the correct ISO and reinstalling Bazzite to be safe.

About SSDs not automounting, I am not sure but they should automount by default. In desktop version there is a ujust command to enable automounting, but not sure about the game mode version.

Thank you, I was wondering about reinstalling.

There is no reason to reinstall!

You should just go to the Bazzite download page. Make the same selections as before and on gamemode select no. on the right of the page it will give you the rebase command to copy paste on the terminal. Do that and after the restart you will be ready to work.

Fir your SSDs You can use the disks app and edit mounting options, untick top option then tick mount at startup

xarishark, error: Authentication is required to switch to a different base OS

             authentication failure, please try again

Please provide a screenshot of the terminal also put sudo in front of the command if you didnt do that already.

Also regarding automount here is the guide that tells you the steps you need to do to automount disks.

What is Sudo? I am really new to Linux.

Then you should take a moment and get familiar with the docs of Bazzite as they are really really good.

If you were on windows before sudo like running something as administrator.
if the command lets say was rebase bazzite the sudo command would be sudo rebase bazzite
this is only an example ofc and you should not try to use what I am showing you here. Try to use the command that gave you the access denied but right sudo before. Its going to ask you the login password then (you wont be able to see what you write on the password field)

Where in the wiki does sudo get explained? I used the search function but could not find it.

xarjshark, what do I do to provide a screenshot. I downloaded one app but it would only show a blank space.

if you press the print screen button the screenshot app that is already in your system should take a screenshot. you dont need to download an app

@xarishark, I have seen where this happened, I don’t where I got it. I believe the owner didn’t have the password, same as myself. Is there anything to be done?

If you didn’t setup a user yourself, both username and password should be “bazzite” by default. Try doing that. Honestly though, I could never trust the stability of a rebase so my suggestion remains. If there isn’t a lot of files you will lose, just reinstall from scratch and do not forget to create a user while installing.

It tried for “bazzite” but it didn’t work and so deleted it and reinstalled and now everything works as it should. :slight_smile: Thanks to xarishark and monomaniac.

Could I ask one more question, where do I ask the mouse to allow straight across in windows ( 2 screens) ? I can’t find it.

Can you please use a translator app to write your messages in your native tongue as I cant really understand your question at all.

Do you mean how you set the layout of your 2 monitors so you can move your mouse between them?

Sorry, I have aphasia, look it on Google. Yes, the mouse moves between them.

I have two monitors, the mouse moves outside, that is right from the right monitor and the left to the left monitor, and back. It usually moves directly across the two monitors.

So for the mouse to go to the next monitor it has to go to the opposite side of the screens?

If yes you need to go into display settings and swap places of the two squares that are the monitors. if they are not on equal height you can even fix that and the mouse cursor will then move correctly from one display to the other.
