[SOLVED] Steam installed, but the UI don't work properly

Basically, DWM showed that it ran, but the UI doesn't work. It would "look" invisible if it's by itself, and just copies a section of the other windows.

I did install the stuff that the arch wiki said I should install, and the program ran fine when it's from the license agreement part to the extracting package part, but at the login screen (I think), it does not work.

I think the UI had problems.

EDIT1: I tried to run it through the terminal, I saw this output which could say the reason.

process 1335: The last reference on a connection was dropped without closing the connection. This is a bug in an application. See dbus_connection_unref() documentation for details.
Most likely, the application was supposed to call dbus_connection_close(), since this is a private connection.

I also found this:  http://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comme … readnext_7

I guess I could figure it out myself.

EDIT2: I solved it!
All I did is reinstalled xorg and nvidia.

Re: [SOLVED] Steam installed, but the UI don't work properly

EDIT1: I guess the UI freezed.

Does this mean it is working now?

If so, please say so explicitly and add "[SOLVED]" to the thread title.

In my experience, dwm doesn't play nicely with Steam -- it seems to work better with version 6.1 (the latest master branch) but I still have mouse problems.

I use Openbox as a fallback desktop when I want to play Steam games as they work perfectly with that WM.

It's still not working.
When I was in Debian, using it with DWM it worked fine, although I could try openbox.
