blame linux, not valve lol
? it's a gaming mode vs desktop mode conflict issue
a normal linux desktop wouldn't have the problem of trying to boot up steam BEFORE the OS
>blame linux
You are tech illiterate. This is not a Linux issue, it wouldn't force updates on you by itself (unlike Windows).
It's a SteamOS issue, which is an Arch fork developed by Valve. They're at fault here, they can't make a proper Linux distro.
>it's not a linux issue, it's a linux issue
lmao
Gaben is dying please understand
god you’re an idiot
Skill issue
/v/irgins told me Linux is the anti DRM OS though
so turn back on the wifi? its linux. open terminal and inject command.
you can't even do anything, it gets stuck on the boot screen and no input does anything
even booting into safe mode is worthless, it just goes back into the loop and gets stuck
have a nice day
literally just add a fricking toggle for internet access in the boot menu or maybe don't fricking program a HANDHELD DEVICE to require fricking internet to even turn on and be operable
Open the terminal moron.
>open the terminal

Back when I used Linux, you could use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a terminal, no matter what desktop environment you were using. I'm not 100% sure on the key combination, but it was definitely something +F1.
I can't even get to the desktop, what part of stuck at the boot screen isn't clear to you
you don't need desktop mode for the terminal
yes you do, do you even have a steam deck?
No u don't unfortunately this is where your rp ends
He's not lying. The Steam Deck starts in Game mode, everything's locked down until you get to the main menu past the boot screen, and you can't access the Terminal from there, even with a keyboard attached. And no, you can't get into Desktop mode from there either, you need to be able to navigate to the menu option past the boot screen to do this. I got this bug 4 months back and had to wipe the whole goddamned thing, really thought they would have fixed it by now.
You can however fix this, but you need to buy a ethernet adapter and plug the Steam Deck directly into your broadband adapter for it to work.

well designed hard+software
as expected from Valve
It's because Valve wants to do a verification check on start up, and when it can't connect to Valve's servers it gets stuck in a re connection loop, Valve did add the option to start the Steam Deck in offline mode, but you need to toggle the setting in the system menu before you turn the Deck off with no wi-fi. Lost my Red Dead save because of it, and completely lost my motivation to restart it.
>literal Microsoft tier Xbox one always online Black persony
>on a fricking handheld
how are they getting away with something that literally killed the entire Xbox brand
fricking hell valve.
Can you even install a proper distro on this thing? By that I mean get a proper functional device after install.
Yeah you can still install whatever you want on it. Windows drivers are still a bit buggy, but any other Linux distro is fine, it's just Steam OS that's buggy as frick.
>critical bug that bricks your device if you happen to turn it off without wifi on and you don't have a way to connect it to ethernet
>posted over a year ago
>not fixed
LOL
>You can however fix this, but you need to buy a ethernet adapter and plug the Steam Deck directly into your broadband adapter for it to work.
that wasn't working, and I figured out it's related to my wireguard VPN which ran out recently and it keeps trying to auto connect to even though I specifically set it to not fricking do that because I don't need a VPN 24/7 and I'm waiting to renew my account for it
you just have to fricking wait forever until it stops trying to pointlessly connect and then you can use the fricking buttons on the device to actually go into desktop mode and turn the fricking internet on, and also just delete the VPN connection entirely since it ignored me toggling the setting to not fricking auto connect
https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/xeopm8/comment/khei803/
I hate this piece of shit, I want a real computer
Oh so it actually does let you past after a certain point? How long does it take?
it took several minutes, and then it finally got to the steamOS login screen where it was on a stuck loading circle but could actually use the steam button to open the menu and go in desktop mode
like I said, what a joke of a device
if you're at the boot screen it means you're already loaded in the kernel which means the terminal can be activated.
Here's a random video that has it https://youtu.be/yqgY0hkOL8Q?t=25
Again, I don't know if this works on Steam Deck, but it's worth a shot. It's a separate tty, so it's completely disconnected from the desktop.
I just did this in desktop mode and my whole screen went black
I hard reset the deck and now it's stuck on the boot screen again
thanks a lot moron
>Ctrl+Alt+F1
>and then turn 360° and jump in the air to SIMPLY open up a garbage thing to fix the shit
why?
>the cli is a garbage thing
kek
Linux is garbage
Stream Sheck is garbage
cope
Open
The
Terminal
homie, you can enter the terminal
Ganker really is full of moronic children, Jesus Christ
>i was only pretending to be moronic
last (you) for the night
Just cause you don't know shit homosexual.
Being moronic doesn't excuse you of not knowing how to open the terminal.
>just wait for another paetch
pajeet
open the terminal Shinji
Open it. Come on. Baby steps now. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. One step at a time.

You can do it, big boy.
Every autistic wizard on this board and on this site is your objective better. You’re more like a parasite or a thing than anything else.
Virtual terminals initialize before the windowing system. They're running and you don't need the DE to boot up to switch to them, dipshit.
t. Windows user
>on a piece of shit that's completely inoperable and stuck on the boot screen
Just chroot it from an external SteamOS usb stick.
If he opens himself he will die
Underrated
i really wanted one of these cuz im tired of post windows 8 microsoft bullshit
and sonys bs
but an always online handheld is dumb as frick lol
tbh man i wanna just go back to like
ps2 era im so sick of this fomo you own nothing bs
do i have to get cracked 4gb install windows 10 on a pc with no wifi card and all pirated games just to own my stuff.....
my modded wii and psp are looking better than PS5 and steam tbh
Go to bios, wipe valve troonix OS and install Win 11
FRICKING EWWW!!!!
Connect it to a USB hub with Ethernet. If you don't have one, visit your local tech repair shop and ask them if they can help.
even doing that didn't work, it's still stuck
inb4 moronic zoomer post:
hurrrr why would you turn wifi off???
you need internet 24/7
>device people only buy to pirate switch games
Karma.
why would people pirate downgraded ports of PC games?
a deck is quite literally the worst way to experience switch games, it isn't a PC and switch emulation isn't nes. it needs more
>deck is quite literally the worst
Yes
>buying a handheld console to play pc games
ngmi
hold steam, quick access, menu and view button at the same time.
I tried that, it didn't work
it turns out the solution is literally to just fricking wait a long ass time until the deck stops trying to connect to the internet pointlessly instead of just turning the frick on, and then I can actually operate the ducking device by pressing the button to go into desktop mode and turning the fricking internet on after half a fricking hour of it being stuck in a boot loop
frick valve, what a joke of a device
>zoomer was too impatient to wait two minutes to let the wan connection timeout
kek
Lol, you never tried just waiting?
Frick you're stupid
you sound like an alcoholic
dont let the trolls get you down OP, you tried what they said and it didnt work and eventually you solved it on your own. They're just trying to get on your nerves as they weren't able to give you any valuable help
>brick tranforms into a brick
>post nonsense shit as if its factual and happens to everyone
Frick off, imbecile. You deserve your defective pos.
lol
I just tried to change the date for the stupid flowers in Nier, it didn't let me change the date and now I can't go into desktop mode anymore, it simply remains on a black screen. I can only use console mode after I force the shutdown.
Fricking hell, it's a nightmare. How do I even solve this?
somewhere in the system files on your pc, is a a folder called system32, you need to delete it to get it to work properly again, as some of the files in there have gotten corrupted by your ineptitude, but once deleted, the files will just reinstall automatically on your next boot
>delete system32
actually impossible, moron
>that that's like disabling wifi
no, it isn't.
>impossible
Not if you take ownership away from the system user, moron.
no, zoomer moron
Windows actually LOCKS files that are in use duh
This is why consoles exist
Because you people are moronic to operate anything that isn't completely dumbed down
I can disable Wifi without problems on my WINDOWS PC and it works just fine.
The problem is Valve + Shit*nix
>and if that doesn't work, JUST connect a serial cable and use a terminal connection that way to reenable wifi to make it werks
>and if that doesn't work, JUST rape Gay Ben
PCNigs will never not be hilarious
PCMasterRace with steampoop gays
>steam
>always online DRM
SAY IT
YOU WILL OWN NOTHING
SUBSCRIBE TO EVERYTHING
AND BE moron-HAPPY ABOUT IT
(also defend the garbage made by a fat greedy frick who single handingly destroyed PC gayming)
And this is exactly why consoles exist
and this is actually exactly why WINDOWS is still the STANDARD, because it actually works.
itt OP resists solutions to his problem for half an hour because he wants to b***h, not solve his problem
no one gave him a working solution so far as i can see lol. They just said open the terminal and if he didnt know how to do it well too bad
OP you should unironically go to reddit and post this, say what u want about it but people there are generally pretty helpful plus the threads dont get deleted which means helpful comments stay up for everyone to see. Ganker has it's draws but getting valuable help is not one of them
You can only spoonfeed to an extent.
It’s actually underaged morons who have the gall to think everyone owes it to them to hold their hand when confronted with anything even close resembling an annoyance or frustration. It’s frankly amazing, if not outright pathetic
the working solution is
that's literally the solution to this problem, but op is being a moron and pretending no solutions offered actually work
ah, well I figured OP would respond to a solution that worked. Maybe he really is just a moron :'(
>They just said open the terminal and if he didnt know how to do it well too bad
That’s already 100 times more than what some homosexual like OP deserves. Not even your parents owe you that much.
grow up bro. It's anonymous wtf is the point of being some "zomg im way smarter than u lmao" clown. If someone asks for help and you know how to help them the least you can do is explain it. If you're an "I'd rather watch the world burn" type of person then I guess thats cool u do u. I dont really see any value in that mindset though
The only child in this thread is OP. Spoonfeeding past a certain is objectively bad. Glad you understand champ.
clearly not lmao as none of the "solutions" worked so your spoonfeeding isn't very relevant.
Exactly, this isnt Reddit. A 30 second google search would solve his problem but OP wants to whine and piss his pants about valve instead so he's being treated accordingly. Now could the both of you kindly go back? Black person.
sorry animetard not gonna go back :^)
Lmao, just boot in to safe mode, or in to the BIOS, or do a system restore.
All 3 can be done with button combinations at power on moron
>disable wifi-mode
>system is now safe
>boot into safe mode
??? he already made his system safe moroning snooping by the fat GayBen
Should have bought a Vita
How did volvo forgot to program in an offline mode?
YOU CAN JUST OPEN THE DAMN TERMINAL, YOU KNOW? If you're into videogames you should already know basic computer stuff
yeah bro just open the fricking terminal
>didn't open powershell as admin
NGMI
What Is it about this device that filters morons so hard? They get so angry about it too, if you wanted a foolproof toy you should've just gotten a switch
the deck is as moron proof as it gets for a pc. yet even that is too much for them. console gamers need to stay on their consoles.
I think it's just zoomers first linux device and what they say about them being tech illiterate is sadly true. I don't mind that but they won't swallow their pride and do more than two minutes of research, and then also get angry when you dare to suggest they should actually make an effort.
windows would filter them the same way, all they have to do is google but they can't do that.
A young person doing due diligence? You’re asking too much of it
>have deck for a year
>left button board goes bad
>valve wont fix, doesnt offer a replacement board, only $175 fun fee for a "maybe we can fix it" even tho I know the problem
>second hand price is $250, may as well get a new one
>d-pad will literally never work properly again through no fault of my own
Cool. I'm so mad about this bros.
Just open it up and fix it yourself
i have. i replaced the dpad, the rubber condom, the should button, and everything that isn't the button board. after the device is on for 5 minutes, the d-pad will engage permanently. its fricked. valvo will not replace JUST THE BOARD nor offer me one. i literally HAVE to buy a new deck.
Wait, it just activates after a few minutes? This sounds like a software issue
>Wait, it just activates after a few minutes?
correct. ive reflashed os, reinstalled, etc. 100 times. no dice.
decent idea, but ALLEGEDLY, the new boards shipped and the first model boards are diff
Does it still happen if you install Windows on the device (Or boot in to Windows-To-Go from a thumb drive)
The only thing I can think of beyond software would be whatever IC that is the encoder for the joystick having shit the bed
>install windows
I hadn't considered that. imma go try that.
Buy deck. Swap boards. Return deck.
although this is a design flaw, you shouldn't misuse words like a moron. it's not "bricked," you can boot it to the bios and recover from there
I booted into safe mode and it just gives me the single drive partition, and booting into that just goes back into the boot loop
nobody in this thread actually owns a fricking steam deck, you are all worthless morons
have you tried this
moron
Bro, you're moronic.
bros I opened the terminal and this happened
Dunno what to tell you. Works on my machine, bro.
Unironically works fine on my machine
>reddit post yesterday said two steam decks connected via ethernet doesn't work
>turns out he didn't assign IP addresses
>base it off Arch "pacman broke my Xorg again" Linux
>ends up being a buggy piece of shit
kek always
>Deliberately do something to "brick" your deck
>Blame Valve
Also I've used my Steam Deck during like 4 power outages with no wifi, the frick you mean "it gets stuck on the boot screen if there's no internet"
>disable wifi
>that that don't do that it will brick Linux
Let me guess, your pronouns are they + them
>It will brick linux
Except it doesn't.
>people exist without permanent wifi
3rdies go. nothing is made or market to you. accept your destitute life.
I turn wi-fi off on the deck because there was an issue with the audio constantly cutting out that was apparently related to having wifi on while you're docked
and also because I don't want the wifi on if I'm playing a game that needs wired Internet like fighting games
frick me for using the fricking functionality of the Device and being raped for it
Preach, the more people that know about these bugs, the sooner Valve gets off their ass and fixes it, unfortunately The Decks biggest group of fans with any sway towards Valve are in a giant (lets post my 1000th picture of me sitting in insert setting here) echo chamber with mods that don't even enforce their own rules.
the reddit thread for the no wifi boot loop shit is literally over 2 years old, they're not fixing shit
According to OP it isn't even a hard loop, it just times out and goes back to the deck UI
it's two separate issues, one is not having wifi enabled and turning the device off without enabling offline mode, the other is having a VPN config that tries to auto connect even after setting it to not do that and the VPN subscription expired
the first one can be solved by plugging the device into Ethernet somehow, the other one you can't do anything but just wait until it arbitrarily decides to let you actually use the buttons on the device
The second one lets you get back into the quick menu after 30 min, but the first one idk but I let my deck sit for hours and it never got out of the loop, maybe Valves fix was putting a timer for how long it should try connecting, but goddamn 30 min is alot, bring that thing dowe to 5 min max.
>still no official dual boot
>still no OLED drivers
what has he been doing?
I had this happen but I didn't know the reason why. This was about a month ago, and I had to reinstall SteamOS via Safe Mode.
not my problem
Chinese Win 10 decks, I kneel. I was wrong to trust Valve with making an OS, when Steam itself is just google chrome now.
works on my machine 🙂
its literally just a mini linux pc
op is a moron
God, playing on my eck makes me feel so bless. Postal 2 in bed is great.
So you can't turn steam's offline mode on on the steamdeck?
You can, OP is moronic and fricked something up mid-update.
I told you to get a rog anon why didn’t you listen
I'm gonna be real with all of you: It's your fault for buying it.
You're a gadget-addicted bugman.
You don't this thing.
It has no practical use over an actual handheld or a real PC, or even a reasonably powered laptop.
As a hybrid PC-Handheld it embodies the worst of both worlds and none of the positives.
You bought it because wanted the latest shiny gadget no matter how useless it is.
I do not feel sorry for you, and I don't think you should have a right to refund either.
Man, I'm so glad I'm not a massive moron like OP and most everyone else in this thread.
Love my decker. Even got it a dock last week.
turn off wifi without enabling offline mode and report back
>frick around with your deck because other people are moronic
NO Black person.
>he thinks turning off the wifi will brick his deck
lmao
>Turn off wifi
>system bricked
>My fault
CLEARLY I shouldn't have expected my device to not turn into a brick without the wi-fi on at shutdown. My bad.
I specifically tested my deck in such circumstances several times just to make sure this wasn’t a thing, and it worked every time. I think you are moronic.
Mine boots just fine without internet, hell I keep mine offline unless I want to install a game. Either you bought a unit with a defect and can easily solve it with an RMA to Valve or your boot partition is corrupted in which case that's an easily solved issue with hundreds of websites detailing the steps necessary to fix it.
>bricked
It's a Linux distro. Just use a keyboard to close out steam.
I have my Deck with wi-fi off all the time and I turn it off and on all the time. Never bricked. Do I have a magical unit?
