And I should know, I’ve followed a few.

He hurt my foot!

just to make sure that you haven’t installed the steam-flatpak.

flatpak list --all and look for steam. You might be able to grep for steam like so flatpak list --all | grep steam. If steam is not there you don’t have flatpak version of steam.

If steam is not in the output there I would consult the Fedora documentation for how to downgrade a package and follow those steps to downgrade steam to an earlier version. If that doesn’t work.

As I reread this thread, I must apologize, I could have done a better triage diagnosing this issue. I have been raw-dogging adhd lately and find myself a bit scattered. I really am sorry for being a bit everywhere! I do sincerely hope that downgrading steam will solve this issue. If it doesn’t I’m out of ideas.

That steamwebhelper error I haven’t seen before but I took a look and found this github report

maybe try if you installed steam as a flatpak:

/usr/bin/flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

You might be suffering from this bug and might have to downgrade steam till the fix reaches you. I have no Idea how to do that on fedora. I’m sure their documentation is tip top.

What does ls -la .steam output say for your users?

First do the games launch normally without error? If you have errors you might need to do the chown thing if you users are mixed up.

if everything is working fine you can use locate to find where you OS keeps steams .desktop files:

locate 'steam.desktop'

on my machine they are :

/usr/lib/steam/steam.desktop
/usr/share/applications/steam.desktop

so since both the desktop files are in a root directory we have to change it with root privilege.

sudo nano /usr/lib/steam/steam.desktop

will open the file in nano. Look for an entry that looks like Exec=/usr/bin/steam-runtime %U and change that to Exec=/usr/bin/steam. To save it [Crtl] + o and then [Ctrl] + m to save, then [Ctrl] + x should exit nano. You might want to back up those files before you edit them so you have something to go back to if something goes wrong.

sudo cp /usr/lib/steam/steam.desktop /usr/lib/steam/steam.desktop.bak

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop.bak

here is a cheat sheet for nano

Lets first make sure that your USERS aren’t messing with steam.

What happens when you start steam from a terminal, --> /usr/bin/steam

What are the errors that your getting?

Did you change ownership of the files you moved from your old storage device to a new user you setup on second install.

ls -la from your home directory and make sure that the third and fourth entries from the output match the user you have set up. They should be the same output as what echo $USER gives.

The output should look something like this

drwxr-xr-x 1 **user** **user** 13 Apr 13 2024 .

The bold bits should match your echo $USER output.

If they don’t match your user you can use chown To take ownership of those files you moved.

chown $USER:$USER **file**

There might be many files to take ownership of and it might be worth chowning your home directory recursively.

cd ~ && chown -R $USER:$USER .

Just be thankful that your right wing is the equivalent of our left wing here in the states. We don’t even have a left wing, just right and batshit crazy. I do follow as much European news as I can and I do see we are exporting our specific brand of batshit. I hope it never gets its footing.

Yeah there is way more digital human recognition going on than we all like to acknowledge here in the states.

I must admit I’m super jealous of you Europeans. I’m very happy that you ladies and gents over there have a more formed and functional governance and your not yet in our predicament.

Watching a documentary of the first peoples of Ireland and wish I could be there instead of here right now.

The reason they want you to not wear masks is, facial recognition that is literally everywhere doesn’t work if your masked. You can help protect the vulnerable and yourself from invasive tracking with this one simple trick.

The EOS team is really nice and helpful!

Sorry that’s all I got. Hope someone that is better at networking comes along, also maybe ask in a sysadmin or networking page just to give your issue a bit more exposure to the knowledgeable peoples of Lemmy.

I lost internet after update. I had to

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

It then worked for me. Hope this fixes your issue too.

Sorry, that’s all I got. Best of luck!

Di you have an Optimus computer with 2 GPUs? Is your computer using a nvidia card? If so you might look into prime -> arch wiki.

You may or may not have to start D-resolve in a terminal prime-run %command% to force prime render offload.
