Steam tray icon missing #2

Closed rhssk closed 8 years ago

rhssk commented 8 years ago

After installing LSI, Steam launches, native runtime is successfully disabled, but the Steam tray icon is missing.

Running on: Arch 4.5.5-1-ck x86_64 GNU/Linux steam 1.0.0.52-2

Launching Steam from terminal doesn't produce much, besides [0528/211044:ERROR:main_delegate.cc(779)] Could not load cef_extensions.pak which I suppose is irrelevant.

Do you have libappindicator installed? 32-bit version of it

rhssk commented 8 years ago

I did not have that. After installing the package everything works fine and dandy. Thanks!

ikeydoherty commented 8 years ago

Awesome! Please let me know how things go, I believe you're the first Arch adopter!

Also, I'm thinking aloud here, but...

What do you think about having some kind of startup check to determine missing libraries when using the native runtime? In future we can expand this to enable distro-hooks, and when we replace the run script it'll be super important

rhssk commented 8 years ago

So far things look great. First time I have ever seen my Steam tray menu use system's theme. What a time to be alive.

I mean, it would be great but unfortunately that's all I can say, not that familiar with the more technical aspects. But if you need an Arch user to test things out, I will be more than happy to help, really appreciate the direction you guys are going with Solus and tools like LSI.

ikeydoherty commented 8 years ago

Well I appreciate the feedback, and I'm super glad someone has found it useful outside of Solus already :D

I'll be sure to put "help-wanted" labels on issues in future and shoutouts on the internet when we need something tested =)

from the arch wiki:

However, if you are missing any libraries Steam makes use of, this will fail to launch properly. An easy way to find the missing libraries is to run the following commands:

$ cd ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ldd $(file *|sed '/ELF/!d;s/:.*//g')|grep 'not found'|sort|uniq

so we just have to replicate this behavior in LSI

@benwaffle yeah when I replace the existing steam shell script, i.e. the old /usr/bin/steam - I'll need to add startup link checks I think.
