Not a proper fix but you can add a symbolic link to the Steam executable into the ~/.config/autostart folder (if you're running a recent KDE you can do that also by typing Autostart in the KDE menu/application launcher). This should make Steam launch automatically again whenever you log-in to your computer.
Thanks. I'm just going to keep launching it manually so I can see when/if it gets fixed. I don't mind too much launching it from krunner
Hello @arcooke, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system? If you are, please uncheck the autostart option on the settings, close the settings window, then re-open the settings and re-enable it before retesting.
@kisak-valve Hi. No, I haven't had trouble with this in a couple years, though I've switched distributions a few times since then. Thanks for following up.
Thanks for the feedback, closing.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Steam stopped loading at system startup. I've gone into the settings and cycled the auto-start option, and it's still not launching at start, I have to manually do it. This only started happening about 3ish weeks ago.
