Can't make steam to launch...

I'm running Hyprland on my dual gpu laptop, it's an intel/nvidia laptop and trying to set up the official nvidia drivers drove me crazy.
The only thing I can't get to run is steam, which every time I launch it it exit with:

steam.sh[800673]: Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[800673]: STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user
steam.sh[800673]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway
tid(800900) burning pthread_key_t == 0 so we never use it

This is the same when I run Hyprland using the igpu or using prime-run, running steam with or without prime-run also gives the same error.

I don't know where are steam logs, if it's even generating them.
Please tell me what command outputs would be helpfull and I'll be sending them right away.

Re: Can't make steam to launch...

Is this steam-native instead of steam? The RUNTIME disabled message suggests steam-native, can you reproduce with steam-runtime? Did you follow all of the logical stipulations needed and mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam#Installation ?

Running steam-runtime gets stuck at:

Starting steam on hyprland after opening steam on a kde session crashes hyprland with the error:

And right after that the following shows in tty:

Running steam-runtime gets stuck at:

[2024-02-27 11:55:26] Startup - Steam Client launched with: '/home/soft/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam'

Why the steam path is stored in ubuntu12_32 ?
BTW i found a open issue on github and some users says that the issue was related to nvida drvier.

Try to launch steam with -vgui

Re: Can't make steam to launch...

@kher the ubuntu path is where steam downloads it's stuff, that is nothing out of the ordinary.

Mixing sessions is not going to be a good idea because multiple things need to be shared, that you get those error messages in that case don't surprise me. But if you mention that like that. Does it work on KDE?

Re: Can't make steam to launch...

Steam on kde works fine, both steam and steam-native, with or without prime-run, but in wayland and Hyprland is imposible to make them run.

Try to launch steam with -vgui

Steam starts, updates, and then crashes hyprland with the following error:

2046 IOT instruction (core dumped) Hyprlandm dysplay: Broken pipeconnection reset by peer(EE)ort2046.txt

If I run:

prime-run steam -vgui

It opens without problem, so, when running without prime-run, is steam trying to use the dgpu thus a different monitor that doesn't exists making Hyprland to crash?

Re: Can't make steam to launch...

Update:
Now I tried removing all kde and trying to start steam from hyprland.
Using "prime-run steam -vgui" or just "steam -vgui" both hangs on the same:

steam.sh[2012927]: Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[2012927]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

Re: Can't make steam to launch...

Make a window rule to float the steam window? FWIW on a googler https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issu … 1821639125 mentions some window rules that might be necessary.
