My steam login screen is blank except for the cross to close the window. https://imgur.com/a/BYOJPl7

I followed the steps on the wiki (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam): add steam-overlay, unmask everything in steam-overlay and emerge steam-meta. In addition to that I'm running steam within a chroot. Again following the steps on the steam wiki.

Here is the stdout from steam. Note there are some assertions failing and it uploads a dump file.

Code:

steam.sh[1703]: Running Steam on gentoo 1.0.0.75 64-bit
steam.sh[1703]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled by the user
setup.sh[1771]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!

I have the same problem, did you solve it?

Looks like it could be related to this issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9321

You can try launching Steam with

Code:
-no-cef-sandbox


Not sure if that will let you access the login because I know they've changed that fairly recently. But if you're able to login, that will hopefully let you access your library (the store/browser should be disabled with that option)

It worked! Both the browser and store work, the library works too. Wonderful! Thanks for your advice! Hope the topicstarter will come back and see such an elegant solution
