This has been happening since a few updates ago. It sounds similar to Issue #1430, but I don't know for sure.

Update

Seems to be an issue related to gnome. Cannot reproduce this in KDE and DWM or when i change TTY and start it in a seperate x server: "xinit /usr/bin/steam -bigpicture -- :1".

Original post

I'm also seeing this regression. I tested this both with and without STEAM_RUNTIME=0, no change. Is there any flag that forces steam to use the shared sdl2 library? (it would probably break as it's the latest mercurial checkout, but i'd like to test it).

I've gone through all the other big picture issues and there seem to be two other issues causing the same result. One related to fglrx (resolved in the latest beta version) and another with starting steam in big picture. There are a few other reports that aren't documented well enough to tell. But from what i can tell this is a separate issue. I'll install ubuntu and see if it's reproducible there.

Update:

I was unable to reproduce this on ubuntu. Not sure what it's related to as the only thing i was able to confirm was that it wasn't a libx11 regression. Could still be related to xserver, gnome, nvidia. (Could be anything but i'd look at things related to the graphics stack as the error seems to be with creating the window)

I get this issue on my Nvidia system. Running Gnome 3.6 right now, going to try it in KDE but I wanted to post this log first. It says the minidump was uploaded so I guess you guys already have it, but I can upload it if you want also.

Vash63 could you do a gdb backtrace? You need the gdb package from the repo. Launch steam using "DEBUGGER=gdb steam" when you get the gdb prompt type "run steam://open/bigpicture". It should crash and you can run "bt" to get a backtrace.

Still happens when i start steam, using xinit, in a seperate x server so it's unlikeley to be related to gnome. mherwig is seeing it on intel hardware so also not likeley to be related to the nvidia driver.

Update

I spoke to soon. Seems to be a problem with gnome. If you change tty (ie. ctrl + alt + F2) and start steam with xorg-xinit: "xinit /usr/bin/steam -bigpicture -- :1" it works.

If it helps, this issue does not exist for me under KDE/kwin.

What locale are you running in? X doesn't support all locales that your system supports.

Could you compile and run this program and tell me what the output is?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <locale.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    if ( argc != 2 ) {
        printf( "usage: %s <locale>\n", argv[ 0 ] );
        return 1;
    }

    setlocale(LC_CTYPE, argv[1]);
    if ( !XSupportsLocale() ) {
        printf("X doesn't support locale %s.\n", argv[1]);
    } else {
        printf("X supports locale %s.\n", argv[1]);
    }
    return 0;
}

save to foo.cpp g++ -g foo.cpp -lX11 ./a.out

(The first argument to the program is your locale.)

Thanks.

[Vash63]

It says it supports locale en_US.utf8 when I enter that as the parameter. In fact, no matter what I type as the parameter it says that it supports it.

[scottlu]

It only fails if it is a locale, and it doesn't support it. en_US.utf8 should work. The next question is why XCreateIC crashes on your machine with that locale. Can you try running steam this way:

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam

And see if you can still repro it.

[Vash63]

Had to grab sdl2 from the user repositories to get Steam to even start, but after that it still crashes when I click the bigpicture button.

@Lykve "xinit /usr/bin/steam -bigpicture -- :1" doesn't work for me

[ghost]

@mherwig Did you remember to change tty first (ie. ctrl+alt+F2)? I forgot the first time i did it. :) Also the -bigpicture flag doesn't seem to do anything anymore. Try starting it using "xinit /usr/bin/steam -- :1" and click on big picture mode

[ghost]

Reported to the gnome bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696005

Steam started using the shared libsdl2 when using STEAM_RUNTIME=0 no change but here's the trace:

Rui Matos figured that it was down to gnome setting XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus. Using either "XMODIFIERS= steam" or "unset XMODIFIERS && steam" is a workaround for this problem.

EDIT: This isn't a solution! My guess is that somehow an interaction between some or all of xim, ibus, sdl and steam is causing this but i have very little knowledge of these code bases.

[aus4000]

Having the same problem on ArchLinux x64 with GNOME, and "xinit /usr/bin/steam -bigpicture -- :1" on another TTY does work.

[mherwig]

@Lykve just want to comfirm that "unset XMODIFIERS && steam" works for me, too

[instabilis]

Same issue on Fedora 18 64-bit w/ Gnome 3.6, "unset XMODIFIERS && steam" workaround works for me also.

[conleymoorhous]

Big Picture mode is working for me now in Gnome 3.8

ATAPI DVD A  DH16AASH
ATA ST2000DM001-1CH1
Marvell 91xx Config

To be specific it's card is Radeons 6990. It used to work before perfectly but this was caused after an upgrade to either steam or ati catalyst. Also tried all the above workarounds and solution none of them worked.

Looks like a different, ATI-specific issue.

Magcius, yes seems like it's ATI-specific. I'll try to debug it more and open another bug

[lrusak]

I seem to have an issue with big picture mode as well but I am using nvidia graphics. When I select it just a black screen shows up and then steam crashes.

I'm experiencing the same issue with Steam on Arch 64 (well Manjaro) under Gnome Shell but I have a Nvidia card not AMD. "unset XMODIFIERS && steam" Works as a workaround, but it would be nice to get a real fix.

[q6r]

@abc-mikey run DEBUGGER="gdb -q" steam gdb>bt

so we know what's the problem. I had a problem before and opened an issue and finally fixed it by not using Xinerama which is depricated and was causing the problem if you're using Xinerama it might be related to it. Use XRandR instead

Hello, is anyone still seeing this issue with an up to date system?
