Steam fails to display and/or start on unstable.hyprland or possibly through xwayland specifically

[TheK0tYaRa]

Describe the bug

Possible outcomes of running it are:

1. Black login window
2. See-through main window
3. Infinite loading user data

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install programs.steam from nixos (23.11) and programs.hyprland from nixos-unstable
2. Log in
3. Close steam
4. Launch steam

Expected behavior

Steam main ui, functioning.

Additional context

> hyprctl version
Hyprland, built from branch  at commit v0.35.0  ().
Date: 2024-02-05

266260 is probably related.

Attempting to use unstable.steam instead is worse, steamwebhelper crashes and failing allowUnfreePredicate.

Can you try making it paned and then unpaned again? That works for me as a workaround.

[TheK0tYaRa]

If you meant making it a floating tile - didn't change nothing.

[TheK0tYaRa]

It may be a cef dependency of steam acting up

[imadnyc]

Could you try running the flatpak version to see if it's a steam issue? Also, some users in the issue you linked mentioned something to do with nvidia drivers. Can you post some more details about your hardware?

[TheK0tYaRa]

Settings are openable when the steam is see-through so disabling the web-based acceleration helps.

Speaking of past knowledge. vkcube doesn't start up in hyprland but does in xfce. Need i post the output here or is it worth a separate issue? vkcube-wayland runs fine however.

Oh nevermind i've noticed the llvmpipe part. glxgears also runs via it. Here is the hardware part of nix config:

hardware.opengl = {
    enable = true;
    driSupport = true;
    driSupport32Bit = true;
  };

@samueldr @K900 Do you folk have any insight considering your work on Jovian?

[TheK0tYaRa]

Not a steamdeck either. Just an all-amd PC. Self-...assembled is the word, i suppose.

Speaking of the unstable branch steam:

[TheK0tYaRa]

try running the flatpak version

By the way, i still don't understand why would i try flatpak version if the nix one works in xfce. Do reply with "do it anyways" if it's mandatory.

[justinrubek]

There's also #238101 that seems related.

I seem to be able to run steam fine using plasma, but hyprland isn't working properly. For a while I was able to run it in hyprland by launching it from a terminal but this appears to no longer be the case.

[JohnRTitor]

Is this still an issue? If not, consider closing this.
