Is the timeout on the client or the server? What is exactly the error? How long is the pause while nothing happens?

Do you happen to have a - in your server hostname?

[colinmarc]

The warning is coming from here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/main/gdk/wayland/gdkdisplay-wayland.c#L668

Not clear if it's what's causing the issue, but it's a reasonably easy fix.

[colinmarc]

I've pushed a new server (0.5.1) and client (0.4.0), each of which may have the fix for this. Please let me know if that helps.

[purekillma]

I have updated to newest server and client.

I am not getting client exited without doing anything

If you look at child.log, your steam install seems unhappy:

This is probably somehow related to the new container stuff, though. Are you using isolate_home = false?

[colinmarc]

Are you using isolate_home = false?

Sorry, this is actually in the trace log. It looks like it's running out of /home/ben/.local/share/mmserver/homes/steam-bigpicture, but looking for stuff in your real $HOME for some reason.

Does using isolate_home = false fix it? Even if so, this still seems to be a bug somewhere.

EDIT: you could also try deleting /home/ben/.local/share/mmserver/homes/steam-bigpicture and see if that fixes anything.

[colinmarc]

I'm able to reproduce this with the combination of isolate_home = true and the -steamos flag to steam. As a workaround, you should be able to change either and it'll work.

[purekillma]

Unfortunately still not working, the first launch I saw the updating steam on the client, but then I think it timed out (said waiting for server in the bottom right)

Then on launches afterwards I get

server: failed to launch session: client exited without doing anything client: failed to attach to session: ERROR_SESSION_LAUNCH_FAILED

[colinmarc]

You might have to blow away the install directory if it failed to bootstrap (rm -r /home/ben/.local/share/mmserver/homes/steam-bigpicture). If that doesn't work, please upload another bug report zip.
