Switching to KDE sometimes gets stuck #14

Closed Pogogo007 closed 5 months ago

Sometimes switching to desktop session (kde) will get stuck on a blackscreen with a cursor. Touching the screen or clicking a button causes the switch to complete normally

If your Steam Deck shows a blank screen when going to Desktop Mode then this is the easy fix for you. You will need a USB keyboard or Bluetooth keyboard for this.

  1. When in Game Mode press CTL-ALT-F5 to open a terminal session.
  2. Enter the username - deck Enter your sudo password when prompted. a. rm -rf ~/.local/share/kscreen (be careful with this command make sure no typos

b. nano .bash_profile Use the down arrow key to go to the end of the line and add this - rm -rf ~/.local/share/kscreen

  1. Press CTL-X to quit nano. Press Y to save the file, and press enter to save it.
  2. Type exit to logout the shell.
