appdatacache.cpp (2078) : Assertion Failed: !bSharedKVSymbols

At this point I'm gonna start focusing on moving us to the snap instead of trying to package LSI up - it's incredibly hard for the distros (as you're seeing!)

@lee8oi i reckon adding those missing deps would be a very good move :)

[norg]

Ah thanks @lee8oi that helped :) I installed the native runtime as well and now steam is starting with LSI. Although Project Highrise still doesn't work. Will open another issue for that.

[ikeydoherty]

This is more likely due to the binary compatibility of the host distro, and it's broken somewhere. Just to clarify are you using glibc or musl built packages? Also what drivers, etc.

Lastly, your os-release file is apparently missing VERSION_ID field.

[ibrokemypie]

glibc, just plain intel right now so xf86-video-intel. I think the field is non existent since Void is a rolling release like Arch.

[ikeydoherty]

Do you have access to the backtrace?

DEBUGGER=gdb steam

[ibrokemypie]

is this what you meant?

[ikeydoherty]

Alright so you need to tell it to run, and when it crashes, use bt to get the backtrace

[ibrokemypie]

Did do, updated the comment as such

[ikeydoherty]

Looking at ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#5014 this very much looks like an issue with your host libraries

[ikeydoherty]

Sidenote also make sure you're using the latest Steam package too so that Steam itself isn't using problematic stuff

[ibrokemypie]

I have completely removed steam, updated the package cache, deleted ~/.steam and then reinstalled steam, error persists. How would I diagnose which library is to blame?

[Vaelatern]

Would libappindicator being built against gtk+3 be a possible problem?

[ikeydoherty]

Ideally you want both gtk2 and gtk2 builds of that available. See how we tricksed it in Solus for an example: https://dev.solus-project.com/source/libappindicator/browse/master/package.yml

Plus the emul32 patch to save needing emul32 python: https://dev.solus-project.com/source/libappindicator/browse/master/files/0001-Disable-Python-build-required-for-multilib-build.patch

Same thing for libdbusmenu https://dev.solus-project.com/source/libdbusmenu/browse/master/package.yml

[ikeydoherty]

Also given you're using the open source drivers and this looks suspiciously like some kind of race condition, it might be worth trying to disable DRI3 in mesa too to see if it helps:

export LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1

[ibrokemypie]

export LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 has made no difference from what I can tell, exactly the same.
something that is possibly of note, running STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam results in Failed to load steamui.so - dlerror(): /usr/lib32/libXxf86vm.so.1: undefined symbol: _XEatDataWords which seems possibly related to https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXfixes/patch/?id=1702cdfe45c9bdd7dacfc8f27a49f89fcd1d02c3

[ikeydoherty]

Please re-try with 0.4

Same problem on Ubuntu 17.04 after enabling native system libs in lsi-settings tool.

[ikeydoherty]

Truncating it won't help me :) I need the full log data.

This will result in a very large log, but you could also do LD_DEBUG=all lsi-steam and upload the (very large) log somewhere so I can run through it.

[QkiZMR]

I truncated repeating error appdatacache.cpp. Today I will run with ld_debug var and will send results.

I have the same issue with 0.6 on 64 Bit Archlinux. The logfile would be 287MB are you sure you want the whole debug log or should we focus on specific parts? :)

[ikeydoherty]

This is very likely an issue with trying to load steamui.so, try:

LSI_DEBUG=1 LD_AUDIT="/usr/\$LIB/liblsi-intercept.so" ldd steamui.so

You'll need to do this in your Steam ubuntu12_32 directory, i.e. ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32

[norg]

Looks like I need to find out which libs are in which packages :)

[andi@x250 ubuntu12_32]% LSI_DEBUG=1 LD_AUDIT="/usr/\$LIB/liblsi-intercept.so" ldd steamui.so
	linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7f44000)
	libtier0_s.so => not found
	libvstdlib_s.so => not found
	libv8.so => not found
	libvideo.so => not found

[ikeydoherty]

Those are all within same directory

[norg]

Even when I add those to the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the ldd output looks fine then, I still run into the described issue above :/

[norg]

Do you think the pkbuild for arch needs to handle those libs? https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=linux-steam-integration

[lee8oi]

Whatever this issue is, still isn't resolved in the Arch AUR linux-steam-integration package yet. Sad panda. But I'm cool with being patient.

Edit: (Facepalm). I resolved this issue by installing 'steam-native-runtime' and of course prior to discovering this error I had to install lib32-sdl2. I bet that arch package would benefit from requiring these packages to be installed.

Edit 2: I should also mention that while I was trying to resolve the issue I also installed 'libstdc++5'. I don't know if that had anything to do with anything. Just mentioning it here in case it did have something to do with making things work.

[ikeydoherty]

Yeah its working here so I'm still not convinced you have it installed/activated right.

[corusm]

Same issue in my case. Is there any fix yet?

cd into ~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32, then run:

pushd ~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32; file * | grep ELF | cut -d: -f1 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. xargs ldd | grep 'not found' | sort | uniq; popd

this will list all missing libraries. install them!
I had to install lib32-libudev0-shim (for libudev.so.0) and lib32-libnm (for libnm.so.0)
sudo pacman -Fy somelib.so.0 for finding packages
