Anything else?

Maybe a regression? #19

[ashuntu]

This looks similar to #262 as well as #19, though I'm not sure what resolved the issue in #262.

In #19 we discovered Northgard overwrites LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but it should have been resolved.

If you run snap run --shell steam, can you verify that those libraries exist in $SNAP (e.g. find $SNAP -name libpulsecommon-15.99.so)?

[Henne1191]

This is the output I am getting:

hendrik@hendrik-XPS-13-9350:~$ snap run --shell steam
Testing for explicit PulseAudio choice...
...and PulseAudio has been explicitly chosen, so using it.
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

hendrik@hendrik-XPS-13-9350:/home/hendrik$ find $SNAP -name libpulsecommon-15.99.so
/snap/steam/154/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pulseaudio/libpulsecommon-15.99.so
hendrik@hendrik-XPS-13-9350:/home/hendrik$ find $SNAP -name libXss.so.1
hendrik@hendrik-XPS-13-9350:/home/hendrik$

So it seems one does exist and one does not?

[ashuntu]

If you could, try this build of the snap: https://github.com/canonical/steam-snap/actions/runs/10376717242/artifacts/1808536272. Download the file, unzip it, and then run snap install *.snap --dangerous. Also make sure you are on edge snapd with snap refresh snapd --edge. Let me know if that build works for you and any errors you encounter.

Make sure to go back to stable versions after testing:

snap refresh steam --stable --amend
snap refresh snapd --stable

[ashuntu]

Should be fixed by #399, expect the fix to be in the edge channel of the Steam snap in a few hours. If this doesn't fully resolve the issue, feel free to reopen.
