Steam Deck crashed

Apparently openSUSE works great on the Deck. Switched back to X11, cause Kwin was crashing too much. Looks like it crashed with X11 too. Couldn’t even SSH into it.

Couldn’t connect to Orange Pi 5 over there either. Rebooted the network switches over there, and could connect to Orange Pi 5 again. But couldn’t connect to Raspberry Pi 5 anymore. Was probably fine, before I rebooted the switches. Guess the Pi can’t recover it’s network.

And there’s no log, said no persistent log.

Only solution for the Pi, was to unplug the power and plug it back in. No monitor is hooked up to it.

AMDGPU on laptop finally crashed again, a nice fence timeout.

Update openSUSE on Deck again. No idea if any of the updates will fix anything. Didn’t look like any KDE updates. What’s the point in using slowroll if you have to use an old snapshot?

zypper in -t pattern gnome_basic gnome

Maybe that’ll fix it. Also, don’t think Gnome supports X11 anymore, or does it? The AI on a search engine, claims I should install gnome_x11.

This visual editor sucks, easiest way to type under a code block, is to switch to the text editor. Too lazy to manually type the crap for the fancy code blocks. Wouldn’t have any luck remembering all those classes anyways.

Might want to run update-alternatives –config default-displaymanager before rebooting as well. Unless you want to use gdm. Or uninstall gdm, and all the other things that rely on it.

Well, no idea why auto login doesn’t work. Can LightDM not auto login to Gnome?

It’s just going to keep on trying to use some KDE PAM crap. Might be best to switch to a different distro, that doesn’t have a broken Kwin.

Easy to break lightdm. Now to uninstall Gnome, and use something other then LightDM.

Also, why do I need a login manager? Or “display” manager? The reason is, cause search engines are useless. Make a service file then. What the AI said to do, requires SDDM.

The internet has no info on any new KDE.

Looks like using getty works. Also, what does -z in a if statement in bash mean? Well, don’t bother searching, the search engine is useless. I may have known in the past, but I forgot.

Use Getty, and edit .profile. Here is what -z in a if statement in bash does. Don’t search for -z in a if statement in bash or any other wording with -z in it. I had to search for “linux bash if statement options” to find that.

I was guessing it did, something like it said. Guess that means, if there’s a WAYLAND_DISPLAY set, it won’t run it again.

Probably won’t fix Kwin though. But I don’t want or need SDDM or LightDM, or any others.

Only one problem, now SSH doesn’t work. Guess I should have checked to make sure it isn’t SSH. Arch Wiki did say to put it in .bash_profile.

SSH must be dead now, sweet. using ssh user@host bash –norc –noprofile might work. Should have left && [ “$XDG_VTNR” = 1 ] in the if statement.

If KDE crashes, it might also auto restart it.

KDE is still crashing, as expected. Now to turn receiver back on. Guess something is crashing, but it’s still open. Too bad antimicrox isn’t running now.

while true; do antimicrox && break; done

Lots of Kwin crash dialogs. But at least antimicrox still works.

Might be able to watch TV, without using SSH, or trying to see what I’m typing in a tty. The text is too small in a tty. Too lazy to do anything about that.
