Unable to launch Steam for Linux. steamwebhelper? #11637
Comments
Hello @clickwir, lines like
in your webhelper-linux.txt hint towards libcef having a hard time with the AMD driver install in As a quick workaround, I'd try completely closing Steam, then trying something like A longer term solution might be to look into temporarily backing out the /opt/amdgpu driver install, checking how Steam behaves, then and if that's favorable, then report your findings to that video driver vendor. Updated mesa is also available from a handful of PPAs like oibaf and kisak-mesa, but it should be noted that your current updated video driver, and these PPAs shouldn't be mixed because the combination of libraries between them is untested. |
Thank you for taking a look. Tried with '-cef-disable-gpu' and didn't open. I am using the amdgpu Pro drivers from AMD so I can get OpenCL working. Also, Steam was open and seemed fine before it updated itself. So whatever the previous version of Steam was, it worked. Here's some fresh logs from the '-cef-disable-gpu'. Right now, I need OpenCL and have to use these drivers. The opensource/mesa drivers don't work with OpenCL that I could figure out. amdgpu_info.txt |
Did a system update and noticed Steam got an update too. Didn't help though. Still won't open.

I had Steam open, was looking around, didn't load any games. Just looking through the Library and seeing who was online, stuff like that. Closed Steam, waited a few minutes and wanted to go back in. This time, Steam did an update to itself and then never opened. Rebooted, and I could see the icon in the system tray area but nothing would come up.
So I uninstalled Steam, deleted .steam* and .local/share/Steam, rebooted and installed the latest from the Steam website. Now I get no icon in the system tray area.
When trying to run from CLI I basically see this over and over:

I've let it sit there for 10 mins and nothing ever shows up. I tried running 'steam -no-cef-sandbox' but that didn't seem to change anything.
Summary: A couple hours ago, Steam was open and working fine. It did an update and now it won't open at all. I don't run it all that often, so I don't know how old it was.
