Libnss does not get pinned if too old for libcef.

kisak-valve commented 6 years ago

Hello @ArthurGibbs, there's a decent chance steam is not pinning a steam runtime library because your system does not have realpath installed. Please sudo apt install realpath and retest.

ArthurGibbs commented 6 years ago

realpath is already the newest version.

kisak-valve commented 6 years ago

I read NSS_VersionCheck("3.26") failed. NSS >= 3.26 is required. Please upgrade to the latest NSS, and if you still get this error, contact your distribution maintainer. in the log as the key detail in this issue report. Steam should be pinning the steam runtime variant if it's newer than the system variant and we need to figure out why something older than libnss3-3.26.2 from the steam runtime is being used.

Please list the contents of ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_64. After that, then close steam, and move or remove the ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_* folders and restart steam to regenerate these folders.

Seeing this issue locally on 15.10, have removed and recreated pinnedlibs*/ and made sure realpath is installed. The libs pinned are: https://gist.github.com/johndrinkwater/bfbdea56e5b3730cd00809c9503c3cfc

Confirmed that symlinking libnss3+util from the runtime into the pinned location resolves it.

It seems the pin_newer_runtime_libs function in steam.sh launch script seems to ignore libnss because of the file naming pattern they use.

h1z1 commented 6 years ago

Curious, did you pin both libdbus and libnss or just libnss? You have two errors from above.

ArthurGibbs commented 6 years ago

Workaround for anyone reading this looking for a solution:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libnss3

johndrinkwater commented 6 years ago

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5311#issuecomment-355162907 is still true as of the latest beta.

process 7393: arguments to dbus_type_is_basic() were incorrect, assertion "dbus_type_is_valid (typecode) || typecode == DBUS_TYPE_INVALID" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-signature.c line 322.

This was a bug in a version of libSDL2 that used to be bundled with the Steam client (and various games), and is not directly relevant to NSS.

In newer Steam Runtime versions this moved to steam-runtime/run.sh, but essentially the same issue still exists. It works well with libraries that follow the usual pattern where the SONAME (libfoo.so.0 here) is a symlink to a regular file with a versioned filename:

lrwxrwxrwx libfoo.so.0 -> libfoo.so.0.1.2
-r--r--r-- libfoo.so.0.1.2

but if libfoo.so.0 is a regular file (either inside the Steam Runtime or on the host system), then run.sh cannot know which one is newer. It falls back to assuming the version on the host system is probably newer.

For CEF/steamwebhelper, there is the additional headache that those components are compiled against a mini-Steam-Runtime codenamed heavy, which is based on Debian 8 (somewhat newer than the main Steam Runtime scout, which is based on Ubuntu 12.04). This does not have the full run.sh machinery and the full recursive dependencies of CEF/steamwebhelper; instead, a minimal selection of libraries that has been determined to be sufficient by experiment are bundled alongside steamwebhelper in ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-heavy/.

We could improve on this situation by taking libnss3.so and related packages (and, in general, more of the dependencies of CEF) from the heavy mini-Steam-Runtime, and bundling them in ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-heavy/, where they would be used in preference to either the version from the host system or the version from the main scout Steam Runtime.

Why are the Steam runtimes based on EOL'd distros?

smcv commented 4 years ago

Why are the Steam runtimes based on EOL'd distros?

tl;dr: because the alternative would be that Steam only works on the latest distros, and games randomly stop working.

Every library in the Steam Runtime needs to have been compiled against a version of glibc that is at least as old as the oldest glibc that will be installed on Steam users' systems. It can't bundle its own copy of glibc, because /lib/ld-linux.so.2 and /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 need to be provided by the host system (their paths are hard-coded in every Linux x86 executable), and they need to be the same version as libdl.so.2, which in turn needs to be the same version as libc.so.6. You'll see from the original issue report that people were using Steam on Ubuntu 14.04 as recently as 2 years ago, more than a year after it had been replaced as the current LTS release by Ubuntu 16.04.

Historically, the Steam client was meant to support Ubuntu 12.04, so the runtime had to be based on Ubuntu 12.04 or older. Recent versions of CEF are no longer compatible with a library stack that old, so the current baseline is Debian 8 or Ubuntu 16.04 (hence 'heavy', which is Debian-8-based).

Upgrading libraries in the Steam Runtime requires backporting them onto a toolchain and library stack from the distant past, and tends to break games' assumptions. Shifting games onto a newer runtime like 'heavy' is also not a reliable thing to do, because they are entitled to depend on any library from the Steam Runtime they were compiled against, and some of those libraries have had incompatible ABI changes since then (either a graceful SONAME break with the old version no longer available, or a problematic ABI break with no SONAME change), or have been discontinued since then.

As a result, Steam Runtime 1 'scout' will probably never be upgraded (other than maybe a few targeted backports), but the intention is that it will eventually be replaced for new games by a newer runtime environment (with old games continuing to run under scout unless/until they can be demonstrated to work reliably under the newer environment).

Ericson2314 commented 3 years ago

Steam should try being Nixpkgs/NixOS based, where we set the ELF interpreter so we aren't bound by what /lib/ld-linux.so.2 etc. provided by the system are.
