[XBMCbuntu] Steam minimizes after login #7

Closed zeroedout closed 11 years ago

zeroedout commented 11 years ago

Using XBMCbuntu 12.0 Frodo:

My specs: NVIDIA Corporation G70 [GeForce 7800 GT](rev a1) driver version: 304.xx Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)

XBMCbuntu's default DM is LXDM (iirc). When launching Steam, it shows the spalsh, "connecting to xxxxxx's account" screen, and then you only see the wallpaper. Alt+tab brings steam into focus. Next bug I post (regarding black box on the top left corner may be related to this).

I'm also having this issue with lightdm. Since this is a steam behavior (don't know why) I will try to workaround this.

thor27 commented 11 years ago

I think this bug is really related with that misterious black box on top left corner.

I can't reproduce this on any other desktop environment, other than steam-de. If you can confirm this a steam bug elsewhere than just this project, we should report it on Valve's tracker https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux

This should be fixed in the latest Steam client rolling out today.

Tested here, and seems to be working. Zeroedout, Can you donwload steam-login lastest version and test it?

Thanks!

zeroedout commented 11 years ago

Done and done! The new version of Steam/steam-login fixed this up perfectly. Steam-login is now 90% usable (I’ll confirm the remaining thing that 'bugs' me and open a new issue with my thoughts).
