Releases: jlobue10/SteamDeck_rEFInd
v1.0.6
Major updates and improvements are included with this release. There is now a systemctl daemon that makes rEFInd the next boot top priority every time that SteamOS boots. There is also a provided .ps1 Powershell script meant to do the same thing from the Windows side, when it's set as a scheduled task. The installation script now also detects if the SteamOS EFI entry has been deleted by a BIOS (UEFI firmware) update, and readds the SteamOS EFI entry if necessary. Further README updates are a work in progress. Thank you to Reddit user lucidludic for the EFI next boot workarounds. Here's hoping that Valve (or Insyde) don't block that as well with a future change.
v1.0.5
v1.0.4
There's nothing too major in this updated release, but I did add the option for Batocera (from the Micro SD card slot) as a 3rd option for booting. By default this is disabled. If you want to enable Batocera from the Micro SD card slot, edit the refind.conf
file and delete the disabled
line from the "Batocera" stanza.
v1.0.3
v1.0.2
Fixed the password checking functionality for a new Steam Deck user. The script will check to see if a deck user password has already been set, and if it has not will run the passwd
command to set the deck user password (used for sudo password). The script will also now check for duplicate rEFInd EFI entries from previous script runs and delete them (assuming only one leftover from previous script run). Multiple new backgrounds and icons have also been added. Edit the refind.conf
lines accordingly to switch backgrounds and/ or icons using the sudo nano /esp/efi/refind/refind.conf
command. Enjoy.
v1.0.1
Removed the password checking portion at the beginning since it did not function as intended for a new user with a brand new installation. The README file has been updated to reflect the need to manually create the deck user password before continuing with the script.
