Definitely, I have also had this error on other electron apps (Discord and 1Password), but it doesn’t seem like I can specify —ozone-platform-hint=auto for steam, and itd be really weird that I need to start specifying everything all of a sudden for no reason
Okay y'all I just solved it, it's because GDK_IM_MODULE is set to wayland instead of being unset, which fucked up all electron apps, among which some part of steam is I suppose. It's dumb but it's solved.
my fucking god thank you
this stupid fucking thing just stole an hour of my life, I had just set GDK_IM_MODULE to wayland because fcitx told me to do so and I didnt realize that that was at fault.
It fixed both steam and prusa for me.
thank you
i wish u could give u a kiss on the nose right now this fixed my problem too, changing the IM_MODULE from wayland to nothing fixed it in case someone just as dumb as me has to do this in hyprland, i just added this and the crashes stopped
env = GTK_IM_MODULE,
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
When I try to start up steam, I get shown the user select screen for a brief second before it closes, and it reopens after a few seconds, indefinitely. If I launched steam from the terminal, ctrl-c does not kill the application.
I saw issues talking about a similar looking problem if .config is a symlink, but it's not. I've also nuked both my
.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steamand.local/share/Steamand reinstalled steam and tried both flatpak and pacman versions, but they all do the same thing. It downloads some stuff and crashed when it shows the login screenI suspect that it is something to do with my computer recently(maybe after an update), some electron apps started needing me to manually specify
--ozone-platform-hint=autoto not crash. In addition, I had also recently got my entire drive filled up by firefox spamming.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log(though I have no idea what it could've corrupted to cause this since I already nuked the steam install to my knowledge), so it could be a combination of any of theseSteps for reproducing this issue:
