GPU accelerated web views in Steam causes black screen.

ChildishhAlbino commented 5 months ago

Problem

After enabling GPU accelerated web views, I cannot get the steam UI to load - all I see is a black screen but I can hear sounds so I know the app is running. I set steam to open in big picture mode by default so I can't tell if this only occurs because of that.

Let me know what information I can provide to help debug this.

Resolution attempts;

Restarting the machine
Uninstalling the entire Arch container and reinstalling it, still persisted my login and my settings so please let me know how I can completely purge all that to start fresh. I tried removing the folders under /userdata/system/.local/share and get told I can't delete folders because they're not empty. (this happened both manually running the rm -rf command and asking the batocerapro app to uninstall the container)

its a steam/linux/nvidia issue, were it not an issue for them you wouldn't have to be turning it on (it'd just be alwayson by default); might maybe work next steam update (since it did work fine before), or it won't and they'll just break something else for a 'change'

you should be able to purge steam / restore default settings by rm -rv ~/.local/share/Steam && rm -rv ~/.steam in ssh or batocera xterm [preferably after restart so that conty/steam is not running (otherwise might be blocking the removal)]

Thanks for the help! Will try that and see how that works :D
