Hi all!
I recently installed Tuxedo OS with KDE and Wayland. I’m fairly new to Linux and, so far, the distro is great. With one caveat.
As far as power options go, everything works fine EXCEPT for Sleep. I can put the PC to sleep, but when I wake it up, I land on the login screen wallpaper with the login/password fields barely visible, as if frozen around the second frame of a fade-in animation.
Nothing works. The mouse cursor doesn’t move, the keyboard doesn’t do anything. The only way out of this state is to hold the power button until the PC shuts down and then turn it back on again.
I did some digging, but couldn’t find a solution. Some threads mentioned modifying something in systemd, but those were from years ago, so I didn’t want to risk that.
One fairly recent thread had a proposed solution of adding "mem_sleep_default=deep" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.
That didn’t work for me, though.
I’d love to fix this, but I’m out of ideas. Any help welcome!
EDIT
Forgot it might be a driver issue, people were complaining about Nvidia gear!
I currently don’t have a dedicated GPU. I only have Ryzen 7 7800X3D running on MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI ATX AM5 MoBo.
Flatpak applications run in a sandboxed environment with limited permissions. Steam, being a proprietary app, was never made with flatpak sandboxing in mind, so you need to poke holes in it’s sandbox for it if you want it to see your files. Most people do not store their games in a separate location, so the default is pretty constrained.
Applications can have sandbox holes by default. Just checked Heroic’s permissions and it can see flatpak Steam’s directories. I don’t know what might have went wrong for you.
Well, to be fair, there was A LOT of weird stuff happening. Steam wouldn’t open at all (unless called from the terminal), or would open with just a black screen (GPU acceleration issue). At some point, I’m pretty sure, I had three instances of Steam installed. It was chaos.
