Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Build: Dec 15 2022, at 21:27:25 / package version: 1671236931
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): ArchLinux
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After upgrading lib32-libx11 to 1.8.3-1 from 1.8.2-2, there's a whole lot of messages in /var/log/messages from the steam client which makes it really slow.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. upgrade library lib32-libx11 to 1.8.3-1
  2. start steam
  3. monitor /var/log/messages (or /var/log/messages.log) for new messages, possibly via tail -f. There will be a flood of messages like:

Note 1: not sure if this is a bug in the library itself, in plasmashell (most likely) or Steam.

Note 2: this bug is also described in this reddit post -- https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/10459tz/steam_on_terminal_is_spamming_this_type_of_message/

Note 3: confirmed with 2 other friends which also use Arch Linux with KDE.

Note 4: downgrading back to 1.8.2-2 solves the issue.

Bug report #9087 occurs in Gnome, so it seems it is not in plasmashell

Hello @Patola, this is an upstream regression in libX11 and needs to be resolved upstream.

Closing as a duplicate of #9083.
