Segfault in gamescope causing UI crash

randombk commented 2 years ago

Forwarded from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/853.

I'm encountering a rare and intermittent crash on Steam Deck related to gamescope. It's also possible this is related to bluetooth somehow - the crash has only occurred when I had a bluetooth keyboard connected. Hopefully the stack trace can be more informative.

Your system information

Steam client version: 1660688177
SteamOS version: 20220817.1, 3.3.1
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Opted into SteamOS beta?: No
Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The Steam interface sometimes crashes, causing the screen to blank for a second before displaying a "verifying installation" screen. The device then returns to the normal Steam UI. The experience looks like a reboot, but isn't actually - the OS itself continues to run, and produces the following error in journalctl:

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Unknown repro steps. The issue appears random and has happened twice:

Once when I was configuring a new wifi network
Once when the device was just sitting idle with the display on

I feel I need to ask this because it's come up before, but have you installed any third-party plugin injectors to Steam?

My immediate hunch is that it's potentially a duplicate of https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/issues/613

Are you able to install the gamescope-debug package and get a full backtrace? Thanks

I have a similar issue with my Steam Deck.

The main difference is that, so far, it only happened while I was playing a game, Elden Ring to be more specific. (EDIT : that's actually not completely accurate, it happened months and months ago on Hades but hasn't happened again since then, so I kind of forgot about this incident.)

Basically, the game would suddenly either straight-up crash my Steam Deck, causing it to display the "Verifying installation" screen (which very much looks like a reboot), or abruptly closes and send me back to my Steam library, only for it to crash when I press the Steam button.

I'm not using any Bluetooth devices, nor am I using any plugins. My Steam Deck is as "vanilla" as it can be.

I was initially suspecting a RAM defect, or maybe a battery one even (considering I sometimes have to press the Power button multiple times to power it on), but this issue makes me think that it might be something else.

This also happens on non-deck hardware as well. Gamescope/Steam will seemingly crash at random which the DM will restart the session.

I don't have any logs currently because its rather rare for this to happen, but IIRC I got a log once and it didn't show anything particularly interesting other than wayland/x11 closed following some bad file descriptor errors.

If it happens again, please get a backtrace from coredumpctl with symbols from the gamescope-debug package.

I am able to consistently reproduce this by running Flatpak mGBA as a non-steam shortcut and cycling between menu bar categories. My deck has no third-party modifications installed.
