Hello @AlonzoTG, these look like some lines of interest from your cef_log.txt:
[0518/203848.629421:ERROR:gl_surface_egl.cc(741)] EGL Driver message (Critical) eglMakeCurrent: Failed to make the GLX context current
[0518/203848.630577:ERROR:gpu_service_impl.cc(1124)] Exiting GPU process because some drivers can't recover from errors. GPU process will restart shortly.
As a quick test, can you try running Steam with steam -disable-desktop-gl-fallback from a terminal and see if it has an effect?
No change in symptoms, not sure if the parameter is making it through any launcher-stack present on the system.
The failure behavior began suddenly after many years of reliable operation on same system, NOTHING changed on the underlying system between last successful launch and first failed launch. (quiet hardware failure is always suspect...) Was playing Black Mesa, then the game crashed and messed up something in x11, I eventually cold-booted the machine and steam simply never recovered. =\
Full disclosure: Chromium on this system went through a period when the internal network component would segfault out and go into a high frequency crash loop. This was only resolved after several updates and a move to LLVM v16 iirc. Underlying cause was never determined.
New symptom: window now stays open but only shows frozen wait logo-spinner.
If I nuke the above window from the window manager, next window that shows is an incomplete UI screen, center pain is black, text from all icons missing, no responsiveness.
Steam is basically working at the moment, pretty happy. I can share logs if you need to see what it's current state is.
Nothing extracted yet.
