Ah, that makes sense. Too bad. I have all my games on steam and haven’t yet found a way to play them with the patch. I could, of course, compile proton with the patch myself, but somehow I am too stupid for that.
These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect 𝓼𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓰 height. The Romans were/are with us.
Just add HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true to the [General] section in the ~/.config/kdeglobals file and restart plasmashell with systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service or just log out and back in.
While that would probably work, as I already said, I do not want to pay for one. It’s less about the money but more about that I’d have to give them all my information - my name, credit card details and so on. And I am not willing to do that, as a VPN is only private until the government or whoever asks for all your data, which would include the Website and the fact that I visited it.
Thanks, that might be an idea. I would still definitely prefer a way to do it for free, but as a last option, I’ll look into this. Edit: Just found out that it costs €5 per month, no matter what. I could almost buy Netflix from that…
I just didn’t expect it to be this much. After all, two years of this would cost me €120. I expected it to be more like €50. So I guess in this case, it is about the money; after all, there is a reason why we pirate ;)
Personally, I prefer to give my money to Mullvad than to Netflix.
Don’t worry, so would I. There is no way I’m supporting this company. It was just supposed to be a comparison.
My point is this: the cost of a VPN subscription shouldn’t be compared to the cost of a subscription streaming service, because 1) they serve two very different purposes, and 2) when you break it down the VPN sub always wins. 😉
I know, and you’re right. It was just meant to serve as an expression of how surprised I was by the price.
No holiday sales, no spring cleaning sales, no bulk discounts, nothing. And I view that as a positive thing.
So do I.
Apparently, people get upset when you tell them that you were surprised by something you didn’t expect.
Anyway, let’s not make that discussion about my view on the price of a VPN; I feel like this is kind of irrelevant.
What’s more important, do you know if they blocked all those 123Movies websites? After all, this is the most important requirement I have.
I guess I was expecting something between €50 and €80. But certainly nothing over €100. For two years, of course.
But you have to understand that I watch a movie maybe once a month, and I do not need a VPN for anything else. Tor works totally fine for all my other needs.
Also, I do not and never did pay for any other online subscriptions, so like many of you suggested, I would not be saving money by canceling them and spending money on a VPN instead. But I can see how it might be a great option in your case.
website keeps a block-list of IPs that are known to belong to VPNs.
That’s a good point; I’ve never thought about it this way. But if you say that one can easily find an IP that isn’t blocked yet, I guess it would be fine.
I use the Firefox flatpak on multiple different desktops and distros and I’ve never seen this issue. All on wayland (no difference on x11 either). Weird.
Okay, well then we’ll need to investigate further.
On one page I found a set of rm commands for resetting Steam issues and adapted it to the Flatpak version.
While these commands will delete most of the steam stuff, just in case you didn’t know, for any flatpak you can run flatpak uninstall --delete-data to delete all user data for uninstalled apps. Or, if you don’t want to uninstall the app first, just deleting ~/.var/app/the app you want to delete the data of will also do the trick. That, just as a small side note.
Resetting it like this seems to work a bit. The Steam interface started up one time and after logging in and restarting it, it now does the same thing as before.
That’s something at least. Why don’t we try something? Maybe the beta version will fix it? When you have the steam client open, try switching to the beta version of it. You can do that by opening the steam settings, go to interface and select the beta. If that also doesn’t work, try launching it with -no-cef-sandbox, as that also fixed it for some people.
To eliminate any other potential issues I’d recommend deleting the steam user folder as well before launching it again. Like I told you earlier.
Edit: It’s hilarious, I find many people having the exact same issue but never with the Flatpak version. Some even use the Flatpak version as a workaround. Very weird.
Okay, so the runtimes were fine, good to know. Btw, you can remove runtimes without first removing the apps that depend on them. They just won’t work any more until you install it again.
I wonder if there is a clean way to thoroughly remove all and everything coming from Flatpak. At this point I don’t even care if there is any data lost …
Not an official one, but this should do the trick if you really want to delete everything. If you want to, you could back up the user files for your other Flatpaks first.
If that also doesn’t work, I’m 95% certain it has to be one of your system packages. Weird that a system package would break any Flatpaks though… What distro are you using anyway?
I am pretty sure that it has to do something specificially with the Steam Flatpak
That is also possible. But then why is it working for everyone else? I used the steam flatpak multiple times today with no issues. I guess you could also ask the same question for the system package issue theory.
How about the package manager version? Is that working? That could give some hints on whether it’s the system or the Flatpak package.
Arch, yes. This is what all the people who had to remove xdg Desktop portal use. How could they remove it if it’s a dependency of flatpak? Maybe they don’t have flatpak.
If you have too much time on your hands, you could try another fresh arch installation on another hard-drive. If it works there, we know it has to be a system package. If it doesn’t, it’s probably the Flatpak.
Okay… Now that you have the non flatpak steam, could you remove flatpak and xdg-desktop-portal*?
Reboot and launch steam again.
This is the last idea I have for now… If this also doesn’t help, it is probably a different issue than this and this, and you should report it to valve.
Well that’s that then. I also have no idea what to try anymore… I guess you’ll just have to wait until some random update fixes the issue. Sorry.
Edit: Since you reinstalled everything, I think it could be some cache on your system that went bad. That would explain why both the Flatpak and native versions don’t work and why the rest of your system works. But I have no idea where that cache might be…
