Easily solved using xhost. xhost local:root

Root? Again?

[SRvtsu]

Root? Again?

Yes, it's weird. It didn't fix my steam at all, now i'm getting Failed to create /tmp/dumps. Atleast i was able to update it.

[shkhln]

Make sure you aren't running anything from root. That just complicates things for no reason.

I'm not running it from root, i'm running it with my steam user. Should it be an permission issue?

[shkhln]

Should it be an permission issue?

How would I know? Check /tmp permissions.

I'm back, i was busy. It seems this was the problem, I changed the permissions of /compat/linux/tmp and it seems fixed! Thanks a lot!

[ra1nst0rm3d]

@SRvtsu Which permissions you set?

[shkhln]

Normally, there is no /compat/linux/tmp. Just get rid of it.

[ra1nst0rm3d]

But I get same error with(out) /compat/linux/tmp. Steam hangs on "connecting Steam account"/

[shkhln]

I don't see how this is the same error. Also, make sure you are using up-to-date stuff from this repo — quarterly packages are broken right now.

Thx! I forgot about this)
