Open amiller7023 opened 2 months ago
I am having the same problems and I had to deal with it by restarting the steam client multiple times in order to make it work.
Same here on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Restart the client one time, solve, but every first time I launch the client on my machine, I get this message.
I also can reproduce this issue on Linux Mint 21.3 but issue disappears after a restart.
I think I'm having this issue as well but it looks like this is a common symptom for many issues. I've actually been having this issue for quite a while. I think it started around April? I used to start the client multiple times to get around it but that's not working anymore so I started looking for a fix. The only change I made between being able to use the multiple restart work around and now is adding a monitor.
I've taken similar steps to @amiller7023 as well as many more that I've found scattered around the internet for the last couple days. I kind of lost track...
I'll keep poking around. I'd be glad to share more logs if it helps.
I reverted to the Feb 10th version of the stem client and it started right up.
steam -forcesteamupdate -forcepackagedownload -overridepackageurl https://web.archive.org/web/20240210115543if_/http://media.steampowered.com/client -exitsteam
Also according to literal-0x4e I guess you need to "create a file named steam.cfg in the steam directory with these lines inside the file (this will prevent steam from updating itself)"
BootStrapperInhibitAll=Enable BootStrapperForceSelfUpdate=False
I don't really know. I just ran the command with the version I wanted and then ran steam. I got it from here. #9851
reset and clearbeta is works in my manjaro thx
I'm having the same issue as @blaze157, same webhelper-linux.txt logs and everything. Based on my shell history I started getting this steamwebhelper error around April 17, 2024. Sometimes Steam will still open eventually if I keep restarting the client but it seems completely random if it works or not. I'm using the old version for now and it works nicely
totally getting this on 3 machines here running Gentoo
I am having the exact same error as @blaze157 reported:

Thanks, this has worked for me with Steam Flatpak, while the other options --reset
and -clearbeta
did not work.
This problem occured after removing old NVIDIA flatpak driver packages. It could also be a coincidence. I used 550.90.07 kernel modules for some time now.
Edit: The problem seems to be related to a recent Steam update. There is also an issue in the flathub repo now.
I just started to have the same issue, steam --reset -clearbeta
worked for me.
steam -forcesteamupdate -forcepackagedownload -overridepackageurl https://web.archive.org/web/20240210115543if_/http://media.steampowered.com/client -exitsteam
This worked for me. The Steam client has been bugged.
After running steam --reset
and steam -clearbeta
the client starts up, but the problem returns after a reboot.

Both my /

are using Btrfs. Could that be related?
Edit: I tried it on a different machine (also Arch Linux, KDE Plasma and NVIDIA GTX 970) and it's not affected. Maybe it's related to a package.

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
After updating my Steam client to the latest I can no longer launch steam. I get an error message popup with the following text
steamwebhelper, a critical Steam component, is not responding. The Steam UI will not be usable. Click here for more information.
I also get the following terminal output including the creation of a dump file
Looking through the logs in webhelper-linux.txt I find a lot of error messages having to do with Internal Vulkan errors that seem to be the culprit for the crash. I was originally getting a window that would pop up in the background with an error message:
But this went away when attempting to follow a thread that suggested running the following commands to fix the webhelper issue.
Since resetting steam I have attempted an uninstall and reinstall of steam, Attempted using the flatpak version which produced the same errors and verified that there aren't any symlinks on ~/.config that I saw mentioned in #10560
