Gentoo Wayland KDE NVIDIA failure to launch, steamwebhelper is not responding #10942

Open Arkkro opened 1 month ago

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I'm using Wayland and KDE with NVIDIA proprietary driver. I also have an AMD iGPU. Whenever launching steam it fails to run due to steamwebhelper failing to start.

[0531/234904.568511:ERROR:gpu_process_host.cc(985)] GPU process launch failed: error_code=1002 [0531/234904.568515:WARNING:gpu_process_host.cc(1338)] The GPU process has crashed 9 time(s) [0531/234904.568517:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(440)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

The only way I can get steam to run is by launching it from terminal and specifying to use amdgpu. __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=0__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=amdgpu steam

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. launching steam with dedicated gpu "__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam"

I'm interested in this bug because I might be having the same issue or something related. However, I am using the Intel Arc A380 graphics card, and the issue only occurs with Linux kernel 6.9.x. 6.8.x kernels have no problem. I am also running Gentoo with KDE Plasma 5 on Wayland.

If I try to start Steam right after booting up and logging into KDE, I see a window complaining about steamwebhelper. If I shut down Steam and restart it, it starts up fine. Or if I wait a few minutes after logging into KDE before trying to start Steam, it starts fine. However, in either case, if I try to start Mythforce from Steam, the game locks up at the Beamdog splash screen and my computer becomes completely unresponsive, though the hard drive access light shows continuous hard drive activity. So I can only power down my computer at that point. Hades 2 seems to start without a problem. I haven't tried any other games yet.

Arkkro, I'd be interested in knowing if you've tried booting up with both 6.9.x and 6.8.x kernels to see if it is the same issue I'm having.

I've used the 6.9.2 and 6.9.3 gentoo-kernal-bin when running into this issue.
