Problems with AMD GPU

Hi! I have Problems with launching games from steam. I have a new install of tumbleweed and updated it with zypper dup, also installed new recommended.

My graphics card is a new 9070 XT, i think AMD drivers are installed, but dont know how to check.

I tried to launch Deep Rock Galactic, but it does not give a splashscreen or anything, as if I have not started the game, no error message either.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the help! I got my games running. For people that have similar issues, thats what i did:

ausearch -ts recent -m avc

that showed denied access.

next recommended thing did not help:
touch /.autorelabel
reboot

sudo setsebool -P selinuxuser_execmod 1

solved my troubles.

@hui thanks for the help, can you explain what i did there, as i dont understand the risk ?! From my understanding, i gave me as a user, the rights to execute files ? Im a little bit lost, i thought SELinux is a firewall that manages connections. This seems to regulate the execution of files as well?

Not long ago i did another install of tumbleweed and i did not need this step. Did something change ?

Thanks for your reply.

TW got SELinux recently.

Is this something which would be fixed with an update? I assume steam works out of the box with Fedora, and it uses SELinux, so not sure if this is just some policy error or a configuration issue. I don’t want to fully disable execmod just for Steam.

From Bug 1206292

Fedora enables this selinuxuser_execmod boolean by default, that is why this works out of the box there.

The “right” way to do this is why “Steam” needs selinuxuser_execmod, report that upstream so that can be fixed.
