Steam client crashes with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome installed #9588

I use nixos, not ubuntu, but according to nixpkgs issue tracker (NixOS/nixpkgs#236561), It's a bit more complicated thanks to the way nix works, but on ubuntu, you should just be able to install it using apt. Although I don't see attr mentioned in your error log, but it doesn't hurt to try |

I am having a similar issue here on Linux Mint 21. For me steam will not launch at all. When I attempt to open, I get a clear see-through window that exits after about 2 seconds. This behavior loops over and over again until I force exit from the applet tray on the Linux Mint panel (taskbar).

My issue with it in EndeavourOS with Cinnamon was I had |

My apologies I rewrote that reply several times... |

Same for me, but I've got EDIT - thank you @mashumelo - this also fixed my issues! |

I'm having the same problem after today's update under Ubuntu 22.04.
One of the tries starting steam succeeded, but in most cases it crashes: |
|
I believe this tends to happen if the large view is trying to be spawned. I personally had to opt out of the beta before it was released because of these crash loops. If you can get the client to launch in minigameslist view, you should have minimum basic functionality. Try the steps here to save the state of the minigameslist using the legacy GUI and then relaunching with the new GUI: Bear in mind that anything in the large view (store, large library) will probably crash. Note that simply spawning the new UI in minigameslist view via the browser protocol command |

Uninstalling This is a bit strange, since others only had issues with the Gnome backend (which I had not installed). EDIT: And it gets even stranger: It continues to work after I installed |
Thank you good sir, that fixed all my issues. No idea why gnome was installed as I use XFCE, but I imagine its an unused dependency of something i used to have installed. |

Very glad to be able to help! |

Unfortunately for me none of the above solutions worked. I have attr installed, Never had xdg-desktop-portal-gnome installed. After uninstalling xdg-desktop-portal-gtk launching steam immediately pops up a terminal that prompts to install that package as a dependency for steam. After it's reinstalled the same problem occurs, looping crashes. For some additional info: running a AMD 6900XT with proprietary drivers. Kernel 5.15; Linux Mint 21.1. Appending -vgui does allow launching of steam. So it's not a corrupted install. |

Hi all, unfortunately I have the same problem in combination with 9605 since last steam update. Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (Budgie desctop), xdg-desktop-portal-gnome deinstalled with no change `steam.sh[5149]: Running Steam on ubuntu 22.04 64-bit (process:5373): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 18:03:04.843: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (process:5373): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 18:03:04.844: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Thanks :-) |

I was able to work around this issue by installing the Flatpak version, which seems to work just fine. |
|
Ok I also installed flatpak version now and it starts with a lot of error messages. But steam via flatpak does not recognize any installed game. Games tries to open "regular" steam when starting and "flatpak" steam ask to install games. Click to expand |
|
I had this issue as well (on Arch) but for some reason I had |
|
Thanks for your comment. I also deinstalled all your mentioned packages. But fun fact: Steams installed package "xdg-desktop-portal" again when starting first time after deinstalling ;-) And then same error messages will be shown ... |
|
Same issue on Arch for me. Not really interested in finding out what happens when uninstalling xdg-desktop-portal* |
|
So I was able to fix the non launch issue with removing xdg-desktop-portal but steam now is all sorts of borked, I cannot open game properties, it does nothing, no windows open, no error, no nothing, so lots of games I need to set custom settings for I cannot access them now. This has to do with their recent sweeping UI update and not just this issue, but still... I go library, click on the game, then the cog icon and hit settings and....NOTHING Valve, you were better than this.... |
|
For my other problem 9605 there is a fix now. With this fix also the other problems linke "GLib-GObject-CRITICAL" are solved after a second restart. I do not understand why but possibly worth a try. |
|
Same problem on xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland. Edit: in my case, steam itself launches but with in the background. Games run in Proton just fine. |
|
For what it's worth, I've seen Steam running fine with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome in the list of running processes on Ubuntu 22.04, which is xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 42.0.1-1ubuntu2. xdg-desktop-portal-gtk was also seen running beside it. |
|
Not sure if it's related. I had steam freezing. I switched back to vgui, disabled GPU acceleration, then relaunched regularly. It stopped freezing. |
|
Uninstalling xdg-desktop-portal-gnome allowed steam to launch and was able to launch games but could not access the main Steam interface, now it just fails to launch even with it uninstalled. |
|
I managed to run normal Steam by deleting the NVidia OpenGL cache on |
|
I can also confirm that after uninstalling mentioned packages on ArchLinux: sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gnome xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
|
|
I experience this problem as well. Removing xdg-desktop-portal-gnome fixes it for me. Distribution: Gentoo |
|
The fix for me on ArchLinux (btw) was to install |
Can confirm this works on manjaro |
|
Some (like drnfc, ImUrX, HarlemSquirrel) appear to be talking about different issues, this bug will only fail with "Failed creating offscreen shared JS content". |
Same here, on nixos unstable. Running sway (Wayland). Friends list/servics not able to connect. Any game just shows with black screen. |

Hey everyone, Just a reminder that uninstalling If you've removed If re-installing |

We're not uninstalling |
thats a |

For GNOME. AFAIK this only happens to arch people who aren't running Steam in GNOME. |
|
I have the same problem, the xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is required for dialogs and such for me, so uninstalling it is not an option. Steam should still work when it is installed. |
|
@lostgoat btw OP has a crash ID of |
|
Yep I've checked that one. Thanks for making the effort to transcribe it though. What is happening here is that steamwebhelper is failing to start for some reason. I assume that is generating a crash and should generate a coredump and its own CrashID. After that fails three times steam will give up on trying to start steamwebhelper and will print the fatal messages in the op, which generates another coredump + CrashID. In this case we want to find the coredump/CrashID for webhelper and I've been unable to repro the crash locally or get info on tracking this down from logs the available crash dumps in this thread. |
thanks, finally running again |

Summary: |

I was directed to this issue since I had a similar problem (all of a sudden, Steam doesn't seem to want to start/show a window in new GUI, doesn't show webpages in -vgui), and the logs do show The problem is, I don't have 2SECEDIT: Fixed. I had the environment variables exported: ...which was an attempt (in vain) to attempt to diagnose ValveSoftware/gamescope#526 two days prior. These seemed to have been the source of the problem, since commenting these values out fixed it and now webviews work again. Guess that'll be useful to anyone who tried the above and thought it would be harmless, even on X11 (read: it isn't, don't keep them set) |

Hi guys hopefully this is the right spot. Just had to re-install Ubuntu 23.04 all was working well until I did somethig silly non steam related. On getting back up and running steam installed fine and ran. I had an OS lock up and did a hard reset from then on steam crashes. I followed the instuctions in getting started here just in case. I have tried with Thanks Tim |

Hi ok I did uninstall xdg-desktop-portal-gnome to no avail I'll open a new issue due to the different Error code. Thanks. |

Hello, Thank you System: OS: Manjaro 23.0.0 Uranos Console log: |

Hello @StarRibbon, |
I installed Arch through |
|
Yeah, I also feel that. Also I recommend MATE which has MATE tweak which should do that thing about the top bar |
|
I have the same issue on kde + Archlinux and removing xdg-desktop-portal is not an option there because it is a dependency of various plasma components. |
@meytin1337, If you're using a Plasma system, then you shouldn't even be using If it continues to persist, mayhaps check if you don't have any lingering environment variables causing trouble? See my earlier report @ #9588 (comment) Otherwise, might constitute a different issue entirely if an entirely different portals implem is doing this. |
