Hello @gasinvein - there is no upload ID in the logs so the minidump likely didn't make it to Valve's crash collection servers. can you upload crash_20211206151920_25.dmp somewhere?
@TTimo Oh sorry, I've accidentally omitted the tail of the output. Here it is:
assert_20211206151920_24.dmp[321]: Finished uploading minidump (out-of-process): success = yes

Is the CrashID what you need?
I don't have the /tmp/dumps/crash_20211206151920_25.dmp' file anymore, but can get the dump from a new crash if needed.
Thanks - the crash looks job related (coroutines). Trying to resume a job that has been removed or corrupted possibly. I know we have fixes pending for a known issue in that area, so let's wait and see if this still reproduces on the next beta iteration (strictly newer than the current Dec 2nd build).
Ok, thanks for the information.
see if this still reproduces on the next beta iteration
But how do I test it with steam client beta? I need to log-in first to opt into beta, but the crash happens on the log-in step (and doesn't happen after). Or am I missing something?
Hopefully this crash doesn't prevent the Steam client self update - it doesn't look like it would.
The current beta does not have the changes I am referencing, but you're on stable atm and that will be slower to update. You can force a switch to beta from the CLI like this I believe: echo publicbeta > ~/.steam/steam/package/beta
It should be noted that ~/.steam/steam/package/beta needs to be changed to whatever the equivalent location is for it to be inside the flatpak environment.
Right. Initially I though that the crash happens only on the very first launch, but it seems like it also happens if I log out and try to log in again. So, I guess it won't be a problem triggering the crash after switching to beta. Sorry for the confusion.
I believe this is my same crashes.
New flatpak installs of steam stable on debian bookworm. 10-15 crashes getting through authentication flow and getting a local profile built.
Quite painful to get logged in 12/13/2021 on two different hosts (steam stable) on a first install but then its stable once the local profile/saved login was in place.

I had the same problem and switching to beta branch helped me to log-in. The build of Dec 14 2021 seems to work fine in that regard.
The flatpak path is ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/steam/package/beta by the way, for those not so familiar with flatpak paths.
This seems to be fixed with recent Steam Client update, I don't get crashes on sign-in window anymore.
Thanks for whatever you did that fixed it!
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
This was initially reported to Flathub issue tracker:
I've used Steam flatpak without such issues for a long time, but then accidentally wiped the
~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steamdirectory, and noticed that it sporadically crashes on sign-in window.I can't yet figure out the exact pattern to reproduce it, so here are some observations I've made so far:
~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steamdirectory, it always crashes right after the sign-in Steam Client window is shownFWIW I've managed to sign-in after Nth attempt and Steam doesn't crash for me anymore.
Backtrace from
flatpak-coredumpctl:Console output before crash:
Steps for reproducing this issue:
