Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Jun 16, 2023
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Kubuntu 23.04
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: [generate by running this command in a terminal steam-logs.tar.gz
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070/PCIe/SSE2

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam client with a new UI loops with repeated lines:
"""
(steam:28377): GLib-CRITICAL **: 13:34:13.502: g_main_context_push_thread_default: assertion 'acquired_context' failed

(steam:28377): GLib-CRITICAL **: 13:34:13.502: g_main_context_pop_thread_default: assertion 'g_queue_peek_head (stack) == context' failed
BuildCompleteAppOverviewChange: 434 apps
RegisterForAppOverview 1: 8ms
RegisterForAppOverview 2: 8ms
"""
The tray icon loads, possible to shutdown via the tray.

Interestingly, after a PC restart it starts the new UI once, and then the next time fails again, i.e., goes into the loop if started the second++ time.

Seems to load with an old interface just fine "-vgui".

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Run the new steam
  2. Exit Steam
  3. Run the new steam

In my testing, if you just start steam and let it be it will, eventually, open.
Sometimes it takes more than one minute to show the interface, but it show up.

Hello @odysei, what video driver version are you using? This reads like a duplicate of #9634.

I have same issue with amd card with mesa drivers. Disabling gpu acelerated rendering didn't help. I managed to start new UI by using "Launch using Integrated Graphics Card"(I have laptop Radeon 6800m and AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX)

Hello @odysei, what video driver version are you using? This reads like a duplicate of #9634.

Indeed, I am on the latest 535.54.03, so it might be related, but I don't see anything related to opcode as in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9634.

Thanks, let's continue tracking this on #9634. Feel free to add your findings to that issue report.

Closing in favor of the older issue report.
