Ice cannot find Steam installation on Linux (Manjaro)

[yerbestpal]

It simply refuses to acknowledge it's there. I've tried pointing to: /home/ross/.steam/steam/userdata/ & /home/ross/.local/share/Steam/userdata/ within main.py, but it just gives me "[sudo] password for ross: [ERROR] Cannot run Ice because Steam doesn't appear to be installed

Close the window, or hit enter to exit..."

I've no idea how to get by this.

That error happens when pysteam's get_steam function returns None. If you're hard coding a Steam path then that shouldn't happen. Can you explain more about what you tried, and where your Steam userdata location actually exists?

[yerbestpal]

Well basically I've set:

Userdata Directory=~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/

in the Steam section, in config.txt

I do, however, seem to have another Steam directory which is /home/ross/.steam/steam/userdata/, although I'm pretty sure the steam folder within .steam just symlinks to the one in .local. I'm not sure how to confirm that though.

I'm having this exact same issue on Arch.
