Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Jan 16 2022, at 17:34:49
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu MATE 21.10 (Impish Indri)
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Empty menu of Steam indicator on MATE panel.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Launch Steam.
Left click on Steam icon in an indicator applet. It is in top right of the screen in default setup. Some call this area a system tray.

When I click the icon, I see a D-Bus warning in terminal where I launched Steam.

(steam:148121): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: 10:53:15.135: About to Show called on an item wihtout submenus.  We're ignoring it.

Taskbar Preferences
No menu visible

System information, terminal output, and D-Bus logs are here -> https://gist.github.com/mymedia2/98ec0ea13f35b137c35f8327a82b49e2

From the logs, we can see that Steam responses with nonsense to calls the GetLayout and the GetGroupProperties methods.

Hello @mymedia2, can you check if going to ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime and deleting the pinned_libs* folders so that those folders regenerated the next time Steam is started has an effect after Steam is restarted?

@kisak-valve Thank you so much for the suggested fix. I have deleted ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_{32,64} folders and after restarting Steam the menu appears again.

Nothing extracted yet.
