Steam keeps crashing, also after reboot and update (it says core dump)

[steep lodge]

When opening steam, it doesn't crash right away.
Steam worked 2 days ago and I have not updated in the mean time, now however I'm having issues.
I have tried updating and rebooting, the issue however seems to be persistent.

It seems to work in desktop mode (I got Witcher 3 running).
Then I closed the game and opened Steam in big picture mode and after pressing run on the game it crashed right away.

Better?

[hallow ginkgo]

can you run steam via terminal and show output?

also what gpu?

[steep lodge]

Gtx 1080 (edit: sorry xD)

[hallow ginkgo]

saying "gtx 1080" would suffice..
latest driver? which one exactly? (open, dkms, ?)

[steep lodge]

NVIDIA-SMI 525.78.01 Driver Version: 525.78.01 CUDA Version: 12.0

nvidia 525.78.01-1

Proprietary i guess

[hallow ginkgo]

sudo pacman -Q | grep nvidia? the version wont say which one is it i think

[steep lodge]

Running in terminal, also using qtile and for some reason i cant switch to that desktop while steam is in full screen

[steep lodge]

Output of command:
lib32-nvidia-utils 525.78.01-1
nvidia 525.78.01-1
nvidia-settings 525.78.01-1
nvidia-utils 525.78.01-1

[hallow ginkgo]

ok so version. good

what cpu? igpu existing perhaps?

also run env and send output

[steep lodge]

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz

[hallow ginkgo]

also run sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and show whats in MODULES and HOOKS (the ones without #)

[steep lodge]

MODULES=()
BINARIES=()
FILES=()
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect keyboard keymap modconf block filesystems fsck)

[hallow ginkgo]

sudo nano /etc/default/grub and show GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line

[hallow ginkgo]

you missed this part installing nvidia driver:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#DRM_kernel_mode_setting
it may be the reason its not working, shouldnt be but worth setting it the way wiki intended imo

[steep lodge]

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=7 quiet"

[steep lodge]

Well, it worked two days ago. No issues

[hallow ginkgo]

thats irrelevant if you ask me, usually things like that pop up

[steep lodge]

okay fair I've tried reading a bit and I cant figure out where to put nvidia_drm.modeset=1

[hallow ginkgo]

here

after quiet

[steep lodge]

okay what about mkinitcpio.conf?

in modules

[hallow ginkgo]

add nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm

and then run sudo mkinitcpio -P

and watch if it errors

[steep lodge]

Does there also have to be something in hooks?

[hallow ginkgo]

hooks are fine as they are rn

dont forget this part tho

or you will have issues after updating nvidia

unless you are fine with running sudo mkinitcpio -P after every update

[steep lodge]

do I need to run a command to register the hook?

[hallow ginkgo]

no, just create this as wiki says

[hallow ginkgo]

you have no space left on your bootsector

how large is it?

it should be 300MB at least

[steep lodge]

I guess i have to re-run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[hallow ginkgo]

yes, that too

[steep lodge]

it seems that my boot sector is only 200 mb

i dont remember setting it that low

[hallow ginkgo]

can you check whats in it?

maybe it has some junk

unless you can resize it

[steep lodge]

well i cant just resize it?

That would interfere with the other partition, right?

[steep lodge]

is there any point in running that command if I dont have enough space to fix mkinitcpio?

[hallow ginkgo]

you propably have to shrink the other one, idk if linux can shrink it from both sides

[hallow ginkgo]

yes, that one def

remove nvidia_uvm from modules and try again maybe? (this one is reponsible for encoding)

[steep lodge]

i cant not enough space......

[steep lodge]

still not enough space

f***

[hallow ginkgo]

try it that way then:

1. keep nvidia_drm.modeset=1 and rerun grub config
2. remove stuff from modules and rerun sudo mkinitcpio -P
   reboot and see

[steep lodge]

two seconds

I had to move FOUND and $RECYCLE.BIN to grub-mkconfig

[hallow ginkgo]

?

[steep lodge]

else i didn't have enough space

[hallow ginkgo]

no idea whats that

[steep lodge]

me neither

anyway big picture mode still crashes but the witcher 3 launcher appeared

[hallow ginkgo]

steam? using proton? which one?

[steep lodge]

i dont use proton with the witcher 3

[hallow ginkgo]

why not

[steep lodge]

it not necessary

it runs fine out of the box

[hallow ginkgo]

can you try using proton tho?

[steep lodge]

sure gimme 2

I think its big picture which is the problem

i need to enter big picture so i can use a controller in-game

[hallow ginkgo]

try it

without it i mean

if it crashes
