Exact same issue i've had. The best thing I recommend is to try the workaround |

Same problem that just happened here. Pop OS 22.04 (Base Ubuntu 22.04) - NVidia GTX 1650 $ steam (process:31076): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 20:13:02.861: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (process:31076): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 20:13:02.861: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (steam:31076): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:13:03.203: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita", (steam:31076): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:13:03.204: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita", (steam:31076): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:13:04.608: gtk_disable_setlocale() must be called before gtk_init() (steam:31076): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 20:13:07.878: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (steam:31076): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 20:13:07.878: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed |
This does make steam mostly work, but when I try to add a new steam library and click on the plus button, it can't bring up a browser and gives that error in the terminal. All my games are stored on a secondary drive, so I can't use steam without reinstalling my games. |
That's the exact problem with this new ui. Nothing really works other than library. its workaround but thats all it is |
|
I'm also having this exact issue on Arch Linux but not even -vgui fixes it. Log |
|
I believe I have resolved my problem by updating nvidia drivers from 525 to 535. |
This was also a resolution on my thread as well. Update your drivers please. |
Can't confirm this on my side. Already on 535, but the problem persists. |
|
I'm also on 535 and getting the same issue. I'm on Arch, so this isn't just an issue with Ubuntu. I'm using Gnome with x11 |
This doesn't solve it, I'm on 535 and the problem occurs the same way. Only steam -vgui works, but network friend list don't connect. |

Okay, some more findings. I'm using Gnome, nvidia 535 on arch. Steam is the latest version. I did find that I can start steam up without These errors happened several times, sometimes within a few seconds, other times a few minutes, until steam eventually opens: (cut off for some brevity, I can include the rest after that if needed) |

Had the same problem on my updated Linux Mint 21.1 machine just installed cuda-drivers-fabricmanager-535 (because NO cuda-driver was installed) |
|
The solution to the problem can be found here: #9780 (comment) |
That worked for me. Thanks for pointing me to that! |
This fixed my issue. For some reason, upgrading from 530 to 535 removed most of my Nvidia packages. |
|
It could be simply because you use the wrong driver, check it on additional driver. Somehow it got changed to X.Org X Server without my knowledge and I simply change it back to Nvidia driver (proprietary, tested) and it just works. |
|
Another way I got this working on Arch without disabling hardware acceleration for the ui was to backport Nvidia drivers to |
