I added a custom session to my display manager which starts Gamescope with the Steam Deck UI. This works great mostly, but exiting it is a challenge.

  • Trying to bring up the menu just blurs the screen. The menu can be navigated with the gamepad, but it does not show up. Submenus do show up (e.g. power settings).
  • With this menu’s power settings, I can restart the computer, but the “switch to desktop mode” menu point just brings up an OSD saying “switching to desktops” which just stays there and does nothing. There is no (apparent) way to log out and end up back at the display manager.

So my questions are:

  • Is it possible to get the menu to show up at least? Is this a known issue?
  • Is there a way to “log out” to get to the display manager? Maybe it is possible to bind a custom command to the “switch to desktop mode” toggle?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      I definitely did not run into this many issues when I installed it… Just kinda worked for me, so I’m not sure where you should investigate
