Crashes when opening certain dialogs #265

Open da2x opened 5 years ago

  1. Go to Settings: Web browser
  2. Change the URL of the home page and save

I briefly see a prompt to restart and then Steam crashes. This happens for every dialog that triggers this prompt.

  1. Start any game running on Proton

There is a Steam-dialog opening saying something about FAQs and then Steam crashes the same way as it does for other Steam-dialogs.

Install dialogs work fine. Other dialogs work fine. These two types of dialogs seemto trigger a crash.

Stable.

Hnm, need to take the time soon to investigate and document process in how to get traces from crashes in least painful way. Does this still repro

nanonyme commented 5 years ago

Can you take a screenshot about this FAQ bit?

da2x commented 5 years ago

Dialog that appears for a second after trying to launch any Steam Play games. steam-play-dialog

Dialog that appears after opening Settings and then just clicking OK: steam-settings-restart

There is a crash immediately following either of these dialogs. I can play Linux native titles just fine, however.

Yes. Ever time in Wayland sessions, and almost every time in X11.

nanonyme commented 5 years ago

Thanks. Was just checking since there's been a lot of Proton changes since.

I'm having the same issue (on Gentoo). When I try to enable Proton for all games in Settings > Steam Play, it crashes after briefly displaying the 'Restart Steam' dialog.

After thinking about this for a bit (and reading the error a little more closely), I realized that Steam is using OSS (for some reason) to play a sound when any of these dialogs appear. modprobe snd-pcm-oss loads the needed module and fixes the crash.

I did not have this issue previously when Steam was installed on my system from the Gentoo Steam overlay. Steam played the sounds just fine despite /dev/dsp not existing. Furthermore, on my Arch machine running Steam from its repos, Steam doesn't play the sound at all. It appears that just this Flatpak version needs OSS.
