Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Sep 6 2017
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Getnoo
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Steps for reproducing this issue:

After some of system and/or Steam updates tray icon was gone.
This seems to be relevant error:

(steam:13663): libappindicator-WARNING **: Unable to get the session bus: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=1d35b7691f42f02d424b6b6056830dba --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 127: dbus-launch: /home/kapsh/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3: no version information available (required by dbus-launch)\ndbus-launch: /home/kapsh/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3: no version information available (required by dbus-launch)\ndbus-launch: relocation error: dbus-launch: symbol _dbus_ensure_standard_fds, version LIBDBUS_PRIVATE_1.10.22 not defined in file libdbus-1.so.3 with link time reference\n

It looks like incompatibility between my dbus version (1.10.22) and included in steam runtime.

I fixed this on gentoo by adding LD_PRELOAD, like this LD_PRELOAD='/usr/lib64/libdbus-1.so.3' steam

~Another possible alternative would be to pin the system variant with ln -s /usr/lib64/libdbus-1.so.3 ${HOME}/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_64/libdbus-1.so.3, although,~ it's not clear why steam is trying to use the steam runtime variant of this library over the system variant. Are you using STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0?

@kapsh, I was unable to reproduce this issue on my gentoo / steam-runtime test box with dbus 1.10.22. What useflags are you using with the steam package and dbus? Can you list the contents of ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_*?

This probably should be brought to @anyc's attention over at https://github.com/anyc/steam-overlay as this is a distro-specific issue.

@kisak-valve Yes, you are right - STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 is set in environment. I completely forgot about this (this was a fix for something that I cannot remember).
After unsetting this variable tray icon reappeared.

@kisak-valve and no tray icon with pinned system version and prefer_host_libraries=0 (should it works in this combination?)

This is pinned_libs_64 content:

The pinned library folders are expected to only be used with the steam runtime enabled and STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=1 (the defaults). You should not need to pin the 64 bit libdbus-1.so.3 since having STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 explains why steam was using the steam runtime variant in the first place.

If you happen to remember the library conflict which you used STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 to workaround, you should be able to pin the runtime variant of the specific library to get the same effect without needing to use that env variable and also bring it to the attention of your package maintainer for steam.
