TF2 and Steam STILL crashing
Can you post your system information, or the failure reports section of it?
Oh, yeah sorry I forgot to do that.
Here it is: https://gist.github.com/ggabriel96/5684570
(Sorry, didn't know how to put it into a code block!)
Your reported crash is deep in CEF, which Steam uses for web page display. Do you have any selinux events with a corresponding time?
(Am... what is CEF?)
Checked the SELinux Troubleshooter and the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool and didn't find anything. Can't it be because it also crashed when I ran the Steam Community In-game? (Or it has nothing to do with this? That came up in my mind because of the "which Steam uses for web page display")
Sorry I'm totally newbie with Linux systems, and even more with these kind of bugs/errors/terms.
CEF is the Chromium Embedding Framework, which is basically the guts of Google Chrome that you can embed in a program for web page display. What were you doing at the time of the crash? You mentioned crashes when joining a game, when Alt-Tab'ing and when trying to use Big Picture. There's a known crash when looking at store pages that have videos, if that's what you were doing.
Oh, thanks for the quick reply!
When joining a TF2 game, it simply crashes on this screen right after the loading thing ends:
http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/902113880286773735/ECA63F0C75D1E2A9F6CAA6FC4D9249957494D189/.
Joining the Training doesn't crash.
Opening Big Picture crashes Steam instantly. When alt-tabbing, TF2 crashes when trying to return to the game and when I used the Steam Community In-game, TF2 crashes when returning to game if I'm not wrong.
Do you have any more failure reports in your system information?
Didn't have any other failure report, so I went to do an intended crash. But, surprise, I finally managed to join a game (although I don't know why I couldn't choose Sniper...). After that I tried to change the Video Settings and then it crashed:
Recent Failure Reports:
Fri May 31 19:59:13 2013 GMT: file ''/tmp/dumps/crash_20130531165910_1.dmp'', upload no: ''Failed to open/read local data from file/application''
Unfortunately that report didn't upload so we don't have it here. However, your issue sounds like it might be a video driver problem.
Is there anything I can do to upload it or something? About video driver, I have the latest one from nVidia.
And this one? Just crashed when trying to join a game:
Fri May 31 20:21:28 2013 GMT: file ''/tmp/dumps/crash_20130531172117_1.dmp'', upload yes: ''CrashID=bp-5d92f215-713f-46a2-af59-379112130531''
By the way, this is exactly where it crashes:
That latest failure that got reported was entirely inside of the NVIDIA OpenGL driver. You'd need to report it to them to see if they can help you.
And this one?
Sat Jun 1 04:30:08 2013 GMT: file ''/tmp/dumps/crash_20130601013005_1.dmp'', upload no: ''HTTP response code said error''
Just happened when attempting to join a game.
The last one will be reported to NVIDIA, as you recommended.
That one didn't get sent.
Why some of them don't get sent?
Here are two others, the first is after crashing TF2 and the second after crashing Steam (Big Picture):
Sat Jun 1 17:05:48 2013 GMT: file ''/tmp/dumps/crash_20130601140525_1.dmp'', upload yes: ''CrashID=bp-ed19832f-7cc0-47f9-a8b6-46c072130601''
Sat Jun 1 17:08:35 2013 GMT: file ''/tmp/dumps/crash_20130601140821_1.dmp'', upload yes: ''CrashID=bp-db8a7ae5-9c85-4d4f-8635-5ce2d2130601''
By the way I've already reported that issue to NVIDIA, waiting for an answer: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/545802/team-fortress-2-crashing-after-joining-a-game-on-fedora-18-with-latest-drivers-for-8600m-gt/#3822841
The recent upload failed due to an HTTP error, which could be a lot of things.
In the two you posted one is a crash in the X server and one is a crash in the NVIDIA driver.
Well, I got no answer from NVIDIA so far... I think I'll have to re-install the driver.
By the way, what is this X server?
The X server is the piece of code that runs the X11 Window System.
In this particular case it's actually client code making an X11 call that's crashing, so it's not actually in the X server itself.
Hmm understood. I must say that the support I've been given here is great huh! Very clarifying answers, always ready to help me with my newbie doubts hehe.
Sadly, still no answers from NVIDIA. I guess that it will take some time to resolve this (they might be checking and testing stuff; or simply ignoring me, which I hope they aren't...). Plus I gotta find time to re-install my driver to see if something went wrong... ;x
Hello @ggabriel96, if you are still experiencing this issue with an up to date system, please open a new issue report on the Source-1-Games issue tracker. Sounds like the last assessment was that this was most likely due to vram pressure on the nVidia driver. and lowering the graphics settings may have helped.
Closing as general video driver quality from 2013 is no longer relevant.
Nothing extracted yet.
Hello guys. I installed Fedora 18 on my ASUS G1S a few days ago and then installed the proper nVidia driver, updated everything, installed Steam and downloaded Team Fortress 2. But, I got that error about SELinux asking me to do this:
grep hl2_linux /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
semodule -i mypol.pp
Okay, with that done, I tried again. It started normally, but when attempting to connect to a game, Steam crashed and gave me the execheap error. Searching for it, I've done what people told to:
setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
(and, detail, I did this too:) setsebool -P allow_execheap 1
Finally, happy that I would be able to play, I tried again. But... nothing! It still crashes when joining a game, or even when trying to use Big Picture.
And two curious things: I'm able to play offline (the Training thing), and just found out that switching between apps (Alt+Tab) also crashes TF2... ;x
I don't know what else I can do... and yes, I read all the other topics about this problem and as I told you above, couldn't fix it ;/
