Steam login everytime i reboot
hey guys! im crossing over from nobara linux and i cant say im super impressed. i installed bazzite on my ROG with the KDE desktop. install was good and i made sure to update all my apps and do a software update, with reboot after each step to make sure everything works before moving forward. well.... everytime i reboot or try "return to gaming mode" i have to relogin into steam
is this a common issue?
what can i doto fix this?
i have also installed bazzite on my laptop with KDE desktop with the same issue?
any and all help would be appreciated
thank you

I had a similar issue before, looks like steam is crashing when "return to gaming mode". My problem fixed after an update. I was rebooting my deck to avoid steam to crash and enter my password again and again. https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1272604489827749898/1272604489827749898
this means steam crashes for some reason and you need to find out why that is (this is default steam behavior and not something caused by us)
you can try
ujust fix-reset-steam and it might hopefully remove whatever crashes steam for you.
keep in mind reseting steam will force you to sign in again as part of the reset, but it will not touch installed games and saves.Update
I have redownload bazzite ISO
Other laptop
AMD GPU
Kde desktop
Reinstalled on laptop. Logged in. Ran updates. Reboot. Steam login error again. I ran "ujust fix-reset-steam". Reboot. Login to steam. Reboot. Login error again. Uninstalled from terminal. Installed steam from flatpak. Reboot. Log into steam. Reboot. Login error. Uninstall and reinstall steam flatpak again. Run command "ujust fix-reset-steam. Reboot. Login to steam. Reboot. Login error. Run "ujust fix-reset-steam" again. Reboot. Login to steam. Enter big picture mode. Go to settings. Go to system. Check for updates. No update. Reboot from big picture mode. Login error again.................
Currently reinstalling bazzite on HP victus. Will update everything first thing login to steam. Hopefully that works
yeah only with Bazzite. LInux Mint, Ubuntu, POP_OS!, etc all allow me to login into steam and keeps me logged in! what could the issue be!?
try with today's latest update on gamescope
I've been having the exact same issue, I've tried "ujust fix-reset-steam" and it'll work.. for a little bit. Then it'll break again, and every time I have to log back in all of my compatibilty settings are reset and I have to set it all again.
you guys will need to figure out why steam think it has crashed in gamescope (steam running in gamescope is gamemode) then since we cannot replicate it
steam crashing in gamemode is the only reason it is forcing a sign in again and there is nothing we can do to change that.
Which ROG device are you using?
It happened to me when i installed it in my AllyX and i logged into steam before logging in in gamemode
Is there a log I should be looking through or something?
~/.steam-stdout.log i think
but if it gets killed out of the blue idk if that will reveal anythingI might have one small theory as to what's going on
When switching from Windows over to Bazzite, my wifi just completely doesn't work at all, resulting in me needing to sign in again
you could try this old trick log into steam and after that run
chattr +i ~/.steam/registry.vdf this will make file read onlyThat's a Windows issue, think the only solution was to fully shut down windows each time (with fast boot in windows disabled) each time and manually turn the device back on to boot into bazzite.
The issue is that windows when rebooting doesn't free up the wifi card properly so other systems can use it.
God I love Windows :polTrollCrazy:
Also I will try this, appreciate the suggestion 🙏
