Steam freezes after suspend (kbin.social)

Hi,

I have a computer with Fedora Silverblue, and Steam installed through flatpak. It works mostly fine, but very often it freezes after waking from suspend.

Is there anything I can do about that?

I used to have a lot of problems like this before replacing my AMD Radeon 290X with an nVidia GTX 1660 Ti & using proprietary nVidia drivers.

I'm on Fedora 38 (Workstation edition) and noticed Steam wouldn't let me interact with it when I woke from sleep this morning. It did not crash, though.

Yeah, I don't know why I used the word "crash". I meant it freezes, like it happens to you.

I noticed they pushed out a new version today—a UI overhaul. Make sure your client is updated, and maybe it's fixed. I know many problems I've experienced have been due to Wayland's weirdness too.

I just tried it, and it still happens. Also, after I force quit, Steam refuses to launch games until I restart the computer.

Is there somewhere we can send bug reports for this?

I vaguely remember reading that the bubblewrap containerisation can cause issues like this but I'm very uncertain on that.

In NixOS, we also run Steam inside a bubblewrap environment but I haven't noticed it hanging upon resume.

Anything in the logs? journalctl --user -e

I'll try that the next time it happens, thanks.
