Black screen issue with latest version
I have linux-steam-utils working now (git cloned from here) but this version has the same problem as the one in ports right now for me. I get a black screen, no systray icon, and the friends list cannot be opened (see here). I've tried SteamBSD's solution where he said emulators/wine-proton helped, but it didn't for me. The rest of the black screen issues I've seen here look to be resolved through commits.. but I am on the latest version.
I've thought maybe it's driver-related, I'm using a Core 2 Duo E8600 with the integrated motherboard graphics (the c2d actually has none, motherboards for it do), but I'm using the i915kms driver. I don't get anything in the logs related to drivers but I've attached a typescript just to help debug (at the end I exited Steam to end the typescript). typescript.txt
Fixed by running dbus-uuidgen > /etc/machine-id
, and then cp /etc/machine-id /compat/linux/etc
just to be on the safe side. This fixed all of the problems I listed above.
I will leave this open for any commit to be made to fix this.
It actually works without copying it over. From the first glance at least.
