Stuck on verifying installation for about 1 hour

Any tips ?

verifying installation is a steam thing, it is only checking your steam install
we have no part in what it does or how it works
might try deleting ~/.steam and re-launching it, something is clearly buggy if it's taking longer than a couple seconds
Ok but how to get back at desktop mode ?
control+alt+f4
login
steamos-session-select plasmaOk thx
Its still stuck even after i deleted ~/.steam
On verifying
Hmm getting this to ever fixed it @Olivier メ ?
Tried deleting steam with no luck
Ahh figured it out. It's because Ethernet was not setup to auto connect. Had to but into the desktop like this and set my Ethernet adapter to auto connect
steam moment
really should be a soft failure in that scenario
Yeah kinda dumb cuz in the setup wizard of steam it asks u to configure your internet and then it updates
So no idea why it needs Internet before that
Really appreciate your question, @Olivier メ , and the advice @Kyle Gospo/@zany130! I was stuck in the same spot and this got me moving forward a little … it’s still hanging, but at least I know how to get back to the Desktop. 😂
Anyone know if there’s a way that we can get this added to the Wiki/troubleshooting docs?
