some extra info: this is on kubuntu 21.04 in an x session. if i change the session to a wayland one, the issue goes away.
so the above mentioned crash in steam's libcef.so is triggered under x but not under wayland, which might suggest a bad interaction with the x graphics stack. in my case the x driver in use is the one for amd gpu's. unfortunately i can't cure this by switching to a wayland session by default because of Bug #1922438 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1922438) which makes firefox unusable in a kubuntu wayland session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1923398 Title: steam client window all black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/steam/+bug/1923398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
