Steam-Headless
[Bug]: Steam window not opening
Describe the Bug
I have the container running on an lxc in Proxmox, all working except Steam. All the apps work normally, even Firefox playing a video from Youtube shows gpu usage with nvtop on the host. It seems that Steam process is running, but the Steam window does not appear. I also have Ollama and ComfyUI using the same configuration, and both can use the gpu without a problem. I stopped all other containers using the gpu but the problem remains the same.

also having this issue as well, with steam complaining about steamwebhelper crashing and offering options, none of which work
I was able to fix what I was experiencing. I'm using a docker container for mine, in unraid. Apparently the setup needs the data location to be on an actual disk in the unraid. I used my cache disk(being the only disk I could provide) and it worked flawlessly.
I was having the same issue. A temporary workaround for me was to:
- Open terminal emulator inside the docker.
- Ran
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam -forcesteamupdate -forcepackagedownload -overridepackageurl https://web.archive.org/web/20240210115543if_/http://media.steampowered.com/client -exitsteam - Ran
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam - Profit (Although I am still having some issues I am working out on persistence)
The following thread helped tremendously. https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/1318
Same issue here any work around? Tried gloworm17 I get: error: app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/x86_64/master not installed [default@SteamHeadless ~]$
Same issue here any work around? Tried gloworm17 I get: error: app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/x86_64/master not installed [default@SteamHeadless ~]$
same boat here, just installed steamwebhelper not working and "error: app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/x86_64/master not installed [default@SteamHeadless"
I fixed the Steam window not showing up by setting NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all, It had previously excluded display like in the OP. Still experimenting to see if that change still lets everything work as expected
UPDATE: Yeah, everything is working great.
Unfortunately, since I don't have X11 on the host, I cannot set NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all' - I need to omit display. As a result, Steam does not show up and I get the pathology described higher up int he thread.
According to https://github.com/Steam-Headless/docker-steam-headless/blob/master/docs/ubuntu-server.md . I have stopped lightdm and xrdp service, add my user to video,input group, change NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all, and it works. I have tried Europe Truck, and it works well.
sudo systemctl stop lightdm
sudo systemctl stop xrdp
sudo systemctl status dbus # optional, my is running
sudo usermod -aG video,input YOUR_USERNAME
USE: NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all
I've found the downloaded games is in .X11-unix folder, not games.

Can you expand on this a bit more @arabham? do we need to add a mount for /data? What do you mean by an "actual disk"? Not a share or folder? do we have to point it to /mnt/diskX?
Just coming back here to add some more file system information. Not sure if this is why @arabham solved his problem or not, but this is copied from my comment on #202
After I noticed the (UnRaid) docker updated I tried it again and it actually installed steam but was super slowly running against my btrfs cache drives when dealing with proton and installing games.
" I actually had an "unsafe" single SSD cache drive formatted in BTRFS. When I removed that cache pool, reformatted the drive to EXT4, mounted the drive in unassigned devices and mapped the home directory as the drive (not the unraid share) - I got MASSIVE performance gains for proton set up and installation of games.
According to chatGPT it's because Proton has to set up a whole windows file system for each game so when it says "reserving space" and steam -> docker overlay -> unraid share -> btrfs copy on write (CoW) -> disk was just MASSIVE overhead for the container to write the "thousands" of small files it needs to make for new game instllations.
So my new setup of just steam -> Docker overlay -> raw ext4 disk is literally orders of magnitude faster for installation of new games and proton runtimes. I couldn't believe something like a file system would make so much difference for me. "
