Can't type in steam client or overlay #6890

Open harleypig opened 4 years ago

harleypig commented 4 years ago

Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

In Steam client, overlay and CS:GO, I am unable to type in any input field. In CS:GO I can use the keyboard for in game commands (AWSDQF123, F12 all work) and pressing Y brings up chat, but I can't type in the chat window.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

I have no idea.

harleypig commented 4 years ago

I forgot to mention that I can type in Creeper World with no problems, as well as there are no problems in any other app or console on my system.

I have deleted ~/.local and ~/.config and reinstalled. Same thing.

I modified csgo.sh to dump out the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the args that called csgo and redirected the output to a logfile. I got some wrong ELFCLASS32 errors, but I have multilib installed, so I don't know if this is a bogus report:

The ELFCLASS32 warnings are not a problem.

In Steam client, overlay and CS:GO

For text input not to work across all these, I suspect this is a configuration problem specific to your system and not an issue with Steam client, overlay code and CS:GO.

Does text input work in other games? Does it work in other 64 bit native games, does it work in games that are not using SDL, does it work in Proton games? That might help narrow it down.

harleypig commented 4 years ago

I can manually start any of the games I have and I have the same problem with CSGO, but none of the others that require or allow input. How do I tell whether a game uses SDL or Proton or not? In all cases, alt-tab brings up overly but I can't type in a field. alt-tab again closes the overlay.

Edit: I reinstalled Left 4 Dead 2. I can type in chat window in that game.

TTimo commented 4 years ago

Ok so looping around on this - it's only in CS:GO, you can't type in CS:GO in game chat, or in the overlay (e.g. if you bring up the overlay while playing CS:GO and try to send a chat message).

But you can type just fine in the Steam client (when not running any games) or in other games (the ones you tried at least).

Correct? (so that narrows it down a bit).

harleypig commented 4 years ago

I cannot type in the steam app or the overlay.

To be clear, I cannot input search terms for games in the store in the app, I cannot change my credit card information in order to purchase a game.

In CS:GO I can play the game, but I cannot type in the chat. Press Y, chat window pops up and I cannot type in the input field. I can NOT press enter and the chat window does not close. I can only press escape.

Edit: mis-remembered closing the chat window with enter

TTimo commented 4 years ago

I doubt that's going to fix your problem, but have you tested the Steam beta client?

Since typing in the steam client isn't working, I'm leaning towards some problem with SDL2 and input configuration. We can probably ignore the overlay, it's going to be the same cause and it's more difficult to diagnose.

harleypig commented 4 years ago

I think I was already using the beta client. Steam -> Settings -> Account -> Beta participation == Steam Beta Update I changed it to 'No participation' and restarted the client. I was still unable to enter text into any input field in the client and in CS:GO.

TTimo commented 4 years ago

See if this workaround fixes it:

harleypig commented 4 years ago

That didn't work. There is also a ubuntu12_64 directory with a file of the same name. I renamed it to 'libSDL2-2.0.so.0.off' also. Still not able to type in input fields in either steam or CS:GO.

However, I accidentally pressed 'ctl-v' in an input field in steam and what I currently had in my clipboard was pasted. I was not able to paste in CS:GO.

This is a bizarre issue. When I initially ran into this problem I uninstalled steam and deleted my entire .local and .cache directories and reinstalled, which did not fix the issue. I am not willing to do that again--it was a pain getting everything else back in place (even with most of it in git).

If you can give me a list of directories I should make sure are empty/gone for both steam and cs:go I will uninstall and reinstall and try again. Also, if there are any dependencies external to the steam directories, I will uninstall and reinstall them too. The pkgbuild for archlinux has the following dependencies listed.

depends=('bash' 'desktop-file-utils' 'hicolor-icon-theme' 'curl' 'dbus'
         'freetype2' 'gdk-pixbuf2' 'ttf-font' 'zenity' 'lsb-release' 'nss' 'usbutils')
depends_x86_64=('lib32-libgl' 'lib32-gcc-libs' 'lib32-libx11' 'lib32-libxss'
                'lib32-alsa-plugins' 'lib32-libgpg-error' 'lib32-libappindicator-gtk2'
                'lib32-libindicator-gtk2' 'lib32-libdbusmenu-glib' 'lib32-libdbusmenu-gtk2'
                'lib32-nss')
optdepends=('steam-native-runtime: steam native runtime support')

After a bit more experimentation, if I paste a value into a field in steam I can use backspace, arrow, and shift and ctrl keys. I can 'ctl-a' to select all the text in a field. I can 'shift-arrow' to select a sub-set of text, but I cannot type [[:alnum:]] and punctuation characters into the field.

The SDL in ubuntu12_32 is the one that would matter, since the Steam client is 32 bit. Assuming you ran with -noverifyfiles (otherwise Steam will just fix and replace the modified SDL2 with it's own), it sounds like it's not an SDL problem, running with your host's SDL has the same issues.

I will noodle on this some more..

harleypig commented 4 years ago

I can give you a log of the output, but I don't see anything in the output that makes sense, relating to this issue.

I ran it as steam -noverifyfiles |& tee $HOME/.steam.log. If I need to mask out any info, let me know. Grepping for my passwords and IP doesn't show anything.

I did notice in the log that I'm in the 'publicbeta' client beta, if that helps any.

I am having this issue on my win64 laptop and school PC. For example, cannot type in login page.

This hit me as well when I installed steam to a new computer.

Mouse works, keyboard works, just the text input doesn't. I can even copy-paste the textboxes, just can't write into them? Maybe something to do with SDL_TEXTINPUT? Backspace also works, as does copy-paste and undo with keyboard (as well as selecting the text with shift + arrows)

My setup is kinda weird though, since I run steam in a docker container, but maybe it makes debugging this easier since it should be reproducible pretty easily and seems to affect people other than me.

Dockerfile:

# change to steamos container if possible at some point
from archlinux:latest

# install base steam
RUN echo "[multilib]" >> /etc/pacman.conf && \
    echo "Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist" >> /etc/pacman.conf && \
    pacman -Syu --noconfirm \
    ca-certificates \
    zenity \
    wget \
    vulkan-radeon \
    lib32-vulkan-radeon \
    steam

# "Fix" locale warning
RUN localedef -i en_US -c -f UTF-8 -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias en_US.UTF8

# Configure rest
RUN useradd -m steam \
    && usermod -a -G video,input,audio steam

user steam
cmd ["steam"]

And the script to run this:

#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:=:0}
docker run --rm \
    -v /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
    -v /tmp:/tmp \
    -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm \
    -v /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id \
    -v /container-data/steam/steam:/home/steam/.steam \
    -v /container-data/steam/share:/home/steam/.local/share/Steam \
    --privileged=true \
    --network=host \
    -e DISPLAY=${DISPLAY} \
    crx-steam

Where crx-steam is the tag of the built docker image

Aight, so i see that this issue is still open and I present you with this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/2/558746089789084726/

I haven't seen anything else about this but one possible problem is that you haven't set an "input method framework" for this (I don't know how why that is even possible or an option).

Now I'm using Mint (Cinnamon) so I can't tell for sure whether this will apply for Arch but once I switched from "None" to literally any other option, it started working (for me, only steam overlay wasn't working, not the steam client itself). Now that I think about it, the problems did arise when I switched from Mate to Cinnamon and for some reason, Cinnamon didn't already have those preinstalled...

However, on closer inspection, it seems that you only need them installed. Before, I hadn't had any other input methods installed but once they were, input still worked regardless of whether it was set to "None" or not (even on restarting the game although I haven't tested this with a full restart of the computer).

TL;DR You might not have an (active) input method. Try installing one and choosing that as the active input method.

@Noxellar This works perfectly! Thanks! :)

Just needed to install ibus and start the ibus-daemon

I solved this problem with installing font packages winetricks corefonts

wold9168 commented 5 months ago

The same problem. Steam doesn't respond anyway. And some games in steam have the same problem also. The information of my computer:

OS: Arch Linux x86_64 
DE: Plasma 6.0.3 
IM: fcitx5-rime(wayland)

There is no such problem before.

Mrr7782 commented 5 months ago

Same as the previous comment. Can't type anywhere in Steam. Steam stable OS: Arch Linux (kernel 6.8.2) DE: KDE Plasma 6.0.2 on X11 (xorg-server 21.1.11) IM: fcitx (4.2.9.9)

kisak-valve commented 5 months ago

Hello @Mrr7782 update your system to libx11-1.8.8-3. There is an upstream regression at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/issues/205 that is triaged with that specific package build while we wait for 1.8.9.

Mrr7782 commented 5 months ago

Updated libx11 to 1.8.8-3, fixed. Thank you and sorry.
