 @slabity:matrix.org | I completely removed .steam* and .local/share/Steam | 04:05:48 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10569 | 04:06:18 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | And https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10549 | 04:07:03 |
 @atemu12:matrix.org | Did you set programs.steam.enable? | 04:09:15 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | Yes | 04:09:28 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Any weird multiple nixpkgs versions and/or home manager setups? | 04:09:40 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | I did have some changes, but removing those did not affect anything | 04:10:10 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | Specifically setting STEAM_EXTRA_COMPAT_TOOLS_PATHS = "\${HOME}/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d"; for custom Proton versions | 04:10:20 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | And adding gamemode to extraPkgs (but I also learned that's not necessary anymore) | 04:10:40 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | Otherwise it's just programs.steam.enable and hardware.steam-hardware.enable | 04:11:06 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | One thing I will note is that Steam's stdout/stderr in a terminal shows this:
| 04:12:16 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | * One thing I will note is that Steam's stdout/stderr in a terminal shows this:
Vulkan missing requested extension 'VK_KHR_surface'.
Vulkan missing requested extension 'VK_KHR_xlib_surface'.
BInit - Unable to initialize Vulkan!
| 04:12:28 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | Though vulkan-info reports those extensions as existing, and no other application is having issues creating a Vulkan instance (including my own custom one) | 04:13:02 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | I don't understand... But apparently setting STEAM_LINUX_RUNTIME_VERBOSE=1 fixed it for some reason that's completely beyond my understanding | 04:48:54 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | Actually I'm not 100% sure... It's working sometimes and other times it's not | 05:00:08 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | Probably a race condition somewhere | 05:00:14 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | But oh well, I just won't restart Steam for a few days | 05:00:26 |

I asked this in the main room as well, but is anyone here having issues with Steam not running? I'm getting the following popup whenever I try to run it (both Nixpkgs and flatpak versions): It happens to me sometimes. | 10:22:54 |
| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | The first time made my go crazy. | 10:23:46 |
| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | It may work if you restart it enough times. | 10:24:11 |
| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | In reply to @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org
It may work if you restart it enough times. In my experience it's literally that random. | 10:24:21 |
|  Neon joined the room. | 11:50:33 |
|  @rikudou:lemmings.world left the room. | 11:58:05 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | whoa, amdgpu just crashed a game for the first time in quite a while for me | 17:23:22 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | big scary page fault message in the log | 17:23:35 |

(I'm not suggesting using this as a permanent fix, I'm just suggesting testing with it to diagnose the real problem) | 18:29:45 |
| @slabity:matrix.org | Nah, I think that's a red herring now. Honestly it kind of seems random. Most of the time it fails and then it randomly succeeds. I get that message even on success | 18:31:13 |
|  @nuko:shimeji.cafe changed their profile picture. | 19:49:41 |
