Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date):
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Opted into Steam client beta?: Occurs in Release and Beta
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Trying to install a new game, I am getting a tiny 80x140 window that contains little more than the cancel button, and fails to actually install anything.
Screenshot from 2021-10-30 20-35-33

I have no problem updating exsting games in my library, or Proton, and have nearly 100gb free on /mnt/steam, which is the only drive specified as my library location (and is symlinked to ~/.steam)

~$ /bin/df -h /mnt/steam
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc6       559G  438G   93G  83% /mnt/steam
~$ /bin/df -hi /mnt/steam
Filesystem     Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sdc6         36M  338K   36M    1% /mnt/steam

So far I've tried:

installing completely new games (We Happy Few) and ones that I'd had on this machine before but removed for disk space (7Days to Die, Fez)
ensuring all files are owned by me with write permissions
clearing download cache
changing download server
unmounting /mnt/steam and running fsck
rebooting with forcefsck
moving steam/config/DialogConfig* to a side directory
removing htmlcache/cache/*
reinstalling the steam-installer apt package
trying three different version of Proton including experimental
adding a second disk to the Steam library
switching to the beta client
moving .steam/steam/config to config_sus and creating a new empty config directory

That last attempt actually put the entire Steam window into an unresizable 80x140 box and forced me to quit it via the gnome menu and restore config.

Similar to https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/3033726413411757742/ I'm getting spam in the error log about being unable to write .steam_exec_test.sh to directories that shouldn't be written to anyway; I have no idea why it's trying to write to all these places. Unlike Dragon, I do not have a wrong directory in my installation path.

Couldn't write /.steam_exec_test.sh: Permission denied
Couldn't write /snap/canonical-livepatch/105/.steam_exec_test.sh: Read-only file system
Couldn't write /snap/canonical-livepatch/114/.steam_exec_test.sh: Read-only file system

The latest client updates from October 7 and 14 have "Fix checking for execute privileges when picking a Steam Library folder location" in the release notes, but all I see in the logs is fruitless spam.

After providing all this to Steam Support, they suggested I open an issue on github.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Open Library with no filters
Select a game that is not currently installed on the machine
Shrunken installation window appears in the top left of the monitor
No data is downloaded.
Failed attempts to write .steam_exec_test.sh to multiple directories appears in /mnt/steam/error.log
UpdatesJob: finished OK, apps updated 0 (0 KB), packages updated 0 (0 KB) appears in /mnt/steam/steam/logs/appinfo_log.txt
Cancel download within client

Well, I found a way around the weirdness. I tried installing after a reboot and got the same tiny window, but a SECOND click of install on the steam screen brought up the normal installation window.

So I got 7DTD back, but Rust continued to fail as did the next three games I tried.

Well, I finally bought a new 2tb SSD and created a new symlink to it from ~/.steam. Once I signed in I quit steam and rsynced all of steam/steamapps to copy my old game files over, then restarted.

With a new disk and a clean history, I have had no trouble installing new games again for the past week. Nothing in the SMART data or fsck indicated anything wrong with the old drive (1tb spinning metal drive), but I'll consider this solved.

Nothing extracted yet.
