[SOLVED] Problem with steam on Hyprland

[Swomp]

Recently I've installed gentoo and steam from flathub (Steam from gentoo repo has same issue). Steam doesn't launch correctly (screenshot 2), but on arch linux or on sway (screenshot 1) all works perfect. Does anyone have the same error?

I also run Hyprland, and also use the flatpak version of Steam, I don't have any issues running it.

What GPU are you using?

Please post the terminal output (in a code block) from "flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam" (no quotes)

Also, please post the output of emerge --info

Those two pieces of info can help give us a troubleshooting direction.

One thing that comes to mind, I had to add the Hyprland xdg desktop portal from GURU to get screen sharing to work. I know that's not your issue, but it could have an effect on the Steam flatpak:

(to those that know more than I do about that portal, please call me out lol)

I actually use that same card. Your flatpak run output matches what I get, so no issues there.

So there's something else amiss that's causing this & beyond my Gentoo knowledge level.

There is one piece that's jumping out at me, I also have radeon in my VIDEO_CARDS, in addition to amdgpu & radeonsi. However, that may be just me being OCD about covering my bases, and may not be relevant.

Beyond that, I'm at a loss as to where to go from here, so wait until more knowledgeable people chime in before altering VIDEO_CARDS & re-compiling.

So, thank you very much

I noticed that wlroots in hyprland is build without vulkan support, but wlroots from repo compiles with vulkan support
hyprland:

I've been doing some research, and I think that adding radeon to VIDEO_CARDS will get us some progress on this.

According to this:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Feature_support

Anything newer than "Southern Islands" will require both radeon & radeonsi. This was tough for me, because AMD doesn't show the card's product family on their website.

Took me a while to find the full list here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units

So go ahead & add radeon to VIDEO_CARDS (keep amdgpu & radeonsi), then run

OK, re-run that without --pretend, then do a reboot when it's done re-compiling, and check Steam.

We may have to do some additional work for vulcan support on wlroots, but I want to see how far this gets us.

I have already tried to rebuild system with radeon flag and nothing changed:(

[Swomp]

I tried again and unfortunately no result(((((((((((((((((((((((((((

[kernel_tux]

OK, post the results for "eix wlroots" (install app-portage/eix if you haven't already), I want to see what use flags it's compiled with.

[Swomp]

[Swomp]

Can you send your use flags from make.conf and package.use?

[Swomp]

I think that problem is in the ebuild, because hyprland apparently contains its own wlroots version. So, is it worth making a post on bugzilla?

[kernel_tux]

My global use flags aren't really different from yours, although I'm not using apparmor, but I don't know how much of an effect that has on this situation, as I've never used it.

Here are the additions I made:
/etc/portage/package.use/hyprland

Very glad that we were able to figure this out!

Please edit the title & add "SOLVED" in brackets so others don't spend brain cells trying to troubleshoot.

Happy gaming!
