I'm curious why it was there. Is this a default setting for ClearLinux, or something that you changed, or a change made by third-party software, or what? (The answer to this question affects my decision for how the Steam Linux Runtime framework should fix this.) |
The updated bubblewrap doesn't work around this as I had hoped, but it does at least log a better error message: As I had hoped, this avoids the issue. |

A simple reproducer for this on a more typical OS is:

@K1ngfish3r, if you're comfortable with using prerelease code, please try this:
For this test, it shouldn't matter whether you're using the stable or beta releases of Steam and SLR 3.0 (sniper) (but if you report that it didn't work, please say which ones you were using). You should find that (Note to self: the pressure-vessel build linked above is !706 v1.) |

System information
Originally reported by @K1ngfish3r in #10577, but I'm separating this into its own more specific issue report, because the messages logged are not consistent with what was originally reported in #10577.
Steps for reproducing this issue
Launch Steam (stable or public beta) on ClearLinux from a terminal emulator. @K1ngfish3r appears to be using
kgx
(GNOME Console), if that matters.For better logs, running with
STEAM_LINUX_RUNTIME_VERBOSE=1
in the environment is useful.Expected result
Steam runs successfully.
Actual result
steamwebhelper
fails to start. The log ends with:This is an internal error in the Steam Linux Runtime container runtime framework, and is likely to be specific to the ClearLinux distribution.
Workaround
@K1ngfish3r reports that launching Steam from the .desktop file (from the desktop environment's menus) works as expected.
