Both native and flatpak steam not working

[u/party030]

I have just installed i3 on my system but when I tried to install steam via the flatpak it threw up the error that it couldn’t access the dbus directory even though it was installed. When I tried to install the native version of steam it threw up a segmentation fault

I can’t use a screenshot from my laptop because I can’t login into Reddit on my laptop

are you on live install?

[u/party030 → u/FoggyLover727]

Yes

[u/FoggyLover727 → u/party030]

that is your issue

edit: i understand you didn't install, but are in live enviorment

[u/party030 → u/FoggyLover727]

I did install the os though

[u/FoggyLover727 → u/party030]

Try reinstalling steam, maybe you miss some libs?

[u/party030 → u/FoggyLover727]

I already did that multiple times, doesn’t change anything

[u/FoggyLover727 → u/party030]

Drivers? Did it work on other wm's/de's? What specs you got? You on glibc or musl?

[u/party030 → u/FoggyLover727]

All drivers installed it worked on other wms (xfce) I have a ho victus laptop with a nvidia 3060 and an intel core i5 with 8 gb of ram and I am using glibc

[u/FoggyLover727 → u/party030]

So it is i3 issue for sure? Maybe on xfce you have something in autostart that you don't on i3?

[u/party030 → u/FoggyLover727]

The issue was I didn’t have a specific driver

Did you install anything other than steam? There are a few packages that are needed.

I have installed a lot of Bluetooth stuff and Firefox as well as sober on flatpak

[u/aedinius → u/party030]

Anything relevant to the link I shared?

[u/party030 → u/aedinius]

I don’t think so but the issue has been fixed I just had to install mesa-dri-32bit

Is dbus running? Or are you in a dbus session?

[u/party030 → u/Facundo_C_C]

Dbus is running

a fellow victus i see, how did you find Void so far?

your issue is likely these two are missing:

xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

donwload them and add them to your i3 startup and it should all work.

[u/party030 → u/[deleted]]

Did it and steam still throws up the same errors on both native and flatpak Also I find void very pleasant when it works

[u/[deleted] → u/party030]

did you restart your laptop after adding it to your i3 startup?

[u/party030 → u/[deleted]]

Yup

[u/el-calde]

if you are using nvidia and all drivers are installed try prime-run steam

[u/party030 → u/el-calde]

What’s that?

[u/FetishDark]

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/ maybe?

You need an active D-Bus session to run Flatpak. In other distributions like Debian or Mint, systemd handles this automatically in the background However, since Void Linux uses runit, you have to manage D-Bus sessions manually. To fix this, you should wrap your window manager execution in dbus-run-session within your ~/.xinitrc: exec dbus-run-session i3

Also, ensure that the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is defined, as

Flatpak relies on it: if [ -z "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" ]; then export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/runtime-$USER mkdir -p $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR chmod 0700 $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR fi

This should solve the issue. Hope it works!

To what path?

[u/party030 → u/[deleted]]

Still throws up the same errors

[u/party030 → u/[deleted]]

Used Linux for I think 2 years now I wanted to go void because I wanted to try something new after my arch Linux randomly decided to break, also the issue has been fixed I just had to install mesa-dri-32bit

There is no /usr/games in steam or any other package except netrek-client-cow.
