computer "1": Steam

Computer "2": steam-link

hi, when i connect to computer "1" from the steam link on computer "2" i get a black screen on computer "2" with only my mouse visible.

I have a laptop with an intel i7-6700HQ and an nvidia GTX 950M 2GO card with the proprietary driver 440.64.

I'm using Xorg "X11" display

In the steam logs "cef_log.txt" I get errors "https://gist.github.com/vlad34/7e773cdaa45a8ebec4af35859451a8f0"

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install Fedora 31 kde to laptop intel/nvidia
  2. Install driver nvidia (sudo dnf install nvidia-akmod) from the rpm-fusion depots
  3. Install Steam and execute steam-link

Thanks.

Hi,

I tested launching steam on the intel card and then launching the steam link and it works.

Except that on the intel card I turn around 25-30fps in game ...

When I launch steam on the nvidia card

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER = NVIDIA-G0 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME = nvidia steam

Steam games run very well at 60fps but the steam link shows me a black screen with my mouse.

How do I run steam on the nvidia card and use the remote play / steam link?

Thanks.

Same problem here, but on Debian

System information

- Steam client version (build number or date): Build 1683666132 , date: May 09 2023
- Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Debian 11 Gnome
- Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes
- Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Aditional info

  • Using X11
  • Linux host
  • Android client / Linux client (flatpak)
  • Optimus laptop (Nvidia propietary driver)

But as a workaround you cab disable HW acceleration on the Host Steam Interface, also on the client. Which hurts the stream performance

So it must be Nvidia related.
