[gentoo-user] Steam.

[gentoo-user] Steam.

[Alan Grimes]

I haven't been able to run steam on my machine for about 2 weeks now. No 
idea what the cause is, reported to Valve's Github page. Current symptom 
is that window opens but driving thread stalls out or ??? and UI 
freezes, needs to be closed from console. First symptoms appeared after 
a game crash and were not cured by a cold boot.

I'm assuming you're using the package from the steam-meta repository. 
Do you get the same result using the flatpak?  In other words, is the
problem account-specific or package specific?

Alternatively, try moving (renaming) ~/.local/share/Steam and then
starting the client.  That should let it start "fresh".

I had to load an overlay to get seamonkey working again. I'm not
completely confident in what the overlay is doing to other packages but
it's working quite well atm.

The problem is now getting steam working again. The issue appears to be
an IPC issue between the steam shell and the steam.dll in each game. I
may have switched off a kernel setting marked as "old" or "legacy" that
could have nuked Steam, I really don't know what...

Speaking about that, does anyone else here have the cursor flip problem?
I've seen some topics on several forums, but it seems that nobody figured
out a way to fix it...

TF2 works perfectly fine here. The only problem I'm facing (apart from
drop in productivity) is the cursor flip issue that Alexandre mentioned.

I have not really put a great effort into setting it up yet, but I will
do so later!

I think setting the launch options "-nojoy -w", no joystick and windowed
mode, got me past the black screen.
