I'm seeing this also, when launching Steam via the steam.desktop file. Interestingly, launching Steam from a terminal works OK.
Hello @bessman, can you check if #8179 is relevant to your system?
Doesn't seem so; I'm on AMD graphics, open source driver.
Vendor: AMD (0x1002)
Device: AMD Radeon RX 6600 (navi23, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 3.49, 6.2.0-20-generic) (0x73ff)
Version: 23.0.2
Accelerated: yes
Video memory: 8192MB
Unified memory: no
Preferred profile: core (0x1)
Max core profile version: 4.6
Max compat profile version: 4.6
Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.2
#9383 is relevant though, launching from terminal also fails if DRI_PRIME is non-zero.
More specifically, the PrefersNonDefaultGPU workaround mentioned in #8179 has no effect.
I launched from Terminal just now. Works, though I can't click through my offers that pop up in the window.
Nothing extracted yet.
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I expected Steam to install, restart, and open.
Every time Steam opens, it now shows the "Loading User Data" splash screen for about 1/2 second before disappearing. The Steam window stays closed for about 10 seconds before flashing on the screen for 1/10 of a second before disappearing. I need to sigterm the Steam process before it stops taking focus away from whatever I am typing on every 10 seconds or so.
