Today to fix the xdg-portal crasher affecting us we rebuilt and pushed Bluefin and Bazzite images.
During this time Bluefin and Bazzite’s nvidia drivers were out of sync with our akmods repository. This will only affect you if you’ve updated in the past few hours, however there have been at least 2 reports so better to be safe. The window of updates was about 2.5 hours ago, so if you’ve updated in that window this could affect you.
If you have a hybrid laptop or a CPU with an igpu you’ll just use that, if you’re on a dedicated GPU it’ll probably act like your old distro when this happens. If this happens to you hold left shift on boot and boot off of your previous image. Then run an update about an hour after this post.
We are rolling out fresh builds now!
We’ve never run into this issue before, which is strange considering how long we’ve been doing this. We’re still investigating. Nevertheless P5 has added a check to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
Yeah I’ve updated about an hour ago on my ROG hybrid laptop and my external monitor doesn’t work anymore, the new nvidia driver was supposed to fix memory leak issue but looks like something else not working now. I’ve reinstalled Bazzite completely just now as well and did latest update same thing is happening, also “supergfx” was turned off after doing system update, had to enable it manually with “systemctl start supergfxd” then “supergfxctl -m Hybrid” otherwise was set to integrated GPU.
First I tried a live run of the Centos DX beta, but the live had issues with two monitors (one on my nvidia GPU, the other on my Intel integrated GPU … only 1 monitor would display, although it looked like it detected both.
So instead of messing around, I installed with the stable (fedora 42) version which worked fine.
Could the issue I was having with the Centos beta been caused by this issue?
